Darute II fan Belintizi

Darute II fan Belintizi (2011 - 2050 4A), commonly relesár Darute II, was an emperor of the Asatic Empire, ruling from 2026 following a three year long regency by Meliàr fan Belintizi until his death in 2050 4A.

Darute fathered three sons - the elder Meliàr (born 2032), middle Luidare (born 2035) and the younger Tilibàs (born 2040). Darute's wife, the lovely Scoynu, experienced several more miscarriages and stillbirths.

Reign
Darute II ascended to the throne in 2026, age 15, after a three year long regency by his uncle, Meliàr fan Relesári, first on behalf of Darute's grandmother and then on behalf of the young Darute himself.

Darute continued his grandmother Tallo's policies of economic reform, which had already started bringing fruit by the time of Darute's reign. The continued economic focus inwards, rather than outwards, and attempts to ensure an easier and cheaper transportation of good and produce within the Empire had the effect of stabilising not only the weak economy of the empire, but also the moods of its subjects. Thus, under Darute, the empire saw less uprisings and rebellions and the general situation across the state stabilised, but it was still rather far from actively improving.

Darute II was also much laxer on the long-discriminated ethnic minorities, the Seturh and Qul people, as well as was welcoming to the new trend of imigrants from the East - the Cāvarī people that were escaping the advances of Danoedan and sought refuge in the Asatic Empire.

Death
Darute II died in 2050, age 49, after an unfortunate accident on the stairs. Since the Emperor's eldest son Meliár declined the throne, citing failing health as a reason, the throne passed to his middle son, Luidare III.
