Lóhsalengo fan Casteri

Lóhsalengo fan Casteri (1918 - 1980), commonly relesár Lóhsalengo, born Rełsalengo, was an Empress of the Asatic Empire, ruling from her father death in 1933 4A until her own abdication in 1948.

The Empress was named Rełsalengo at her birth, meaning Born of Fire in Arazi, but changed her name upon her coronation to Lóhsalengo, Born of Spirit.

Empress Lóhsalengo married her distant relative Tus fan Casteri. Upon marriage, Lóhsalengo completely dropped the traditional family name Relesári, but in stead was the first to have it used as an official title for the office of the Emperor/Empress.

Reign
Lóhsalengo ascended to the throne in 1933, following the unexpected death of her father Rełhumśeng. Upon her ascension and simultaneous marriage to Tus, she changed her name from Rełsalengo to Lóhsalengo to reflect her rejection of the Cult of Erłe and acceptation of Obenism, a religion that had, by this time, come to be the dominant faith among the lower classes of Aradór and had spread considerably even further north.

Lóhsalengo reversed her father's policy on religion, including
 * limiting any kind of public offices to people in the Cult;

Instead, she declared Obenism to be the official state religion and require all official ceremonies to be performed in an according fashion. She transformed the vast majority of the temples built by her father to Obenist places of worship. Despite this, Empress Lóhsalengo never offered any particular incentives for people to convert to Obenism, nor did she try to limit the rights of those who followed other Cults or the old Arazy Polytheism.
 * excluding from inheritance anyone who has abandoned the Cult;
 * mandating that all marriages and funerals be carried out in the Cult's fashion, irrespective of the beliefs of the participants;
 * forbidding Obenist ceremonies, preaching and any display of religiosity in public or in large groups even in private;
 * actively persecuting Obenist preachers;
 * banning, confiscating and burning Obenist books, scrolls and the occasional priest.

Similarly, the Empress removed the restriction on the use of languages other than the Emperor's Arazi in public places. However, Lóhsalengo did not reverse her father's policies on the status of Machoric minorities in the Empire, continuously restricting their right to public offices, titles and land and property ownership.

In accordance to the legally non-binding tradition, the Empress abdicated in favour of her son, Luidare II fan Casteri, in 1948, when she considered him ready to rule.

Death
Lóhsalengo died in 1980 4A, after having witnessed the unfortunate death of both her son Luidare II and daughter Tadelho and the ascension of her grands-son by Tadelho to the throne.

The cause of Lóhsalengo's death is not entirely certain, but it is possible that she died from a lung disease.
