Ratsa fan Relesári

Ratsa The First fan Relesári (1780 - 1823), also called Ratsa the Blessed was an Emperor of the Asatic Empire from 1802 until his death in 1823, the only son of Luidare and Taylu fan Relesári and the second monarch of the Relesár dynasty.

Appearances and character
Little is known about what Ratsa looked like, except for that he took very much after his father in physical appearances. Ratsa was a well-learned and intelligent man, said to have inherited his father's knack for finances and economy.

Reign
Ratsa was crowned at the age of 22, after the untimely death of his father in a hunting accident. Ratsa's reign was characterised by strong, central authority on state matters, but also by generous investments in the provinces of Empire. As a consequence, Ratsa's reign was fondly remembered as a a time of prosperity.

Ratsa is often called Ratsa the Blessed not only as a result of the generally favourable views of the emperor, but also because he was able to succeed his father peacefully, without conflicts or being disputed - a drastic change to the previous successions in the Empire.

With his wife Danto fan Aheni, niece of the former Emperor Duyle Saya, Ratsa fathered three sons - Cvante fan Relesári, his successor, Luidare and Sìlin.

Death
Ratsa was assassinated at the age of 43 in a plot by several prominent Arazi nobles. A brief military conflict followed his death, ending a few months later with the coronation of Ratsa's son, Cvante fan Relesári.
