Meliàr fan Belintizi

Meliàr fan Belintizi (1995 - 2056 4A), and after his reign Meliàr Wordsmith, was a regent of the Asatic Empire, reigning from 2023 till his nephew's ascension to the throne in 2026 4A.

Regency
Meliàr's short reign was characterised by a period of relative stability following his mother's harsh policy towards dissent and her well-thought economic policies.

Meliàr ascended to the throne as a regent in 2023 after his mother Tallo became seriously ill and was left incapable of ruling. Meliàr's eldest brother Atsa fan Belintizi had previously died in 2017 during the First Seturh Secession while his nephew and the heir to the throne, Darute II, was deemed at the moment still unfit to rule.

Post-Regency
Darute II ascended to the throne in 2026 4A, while Meliàr continued his life in relative peace and devotion to literature and poetry, earning him the nickname Meliàr Wordsmith.

During his regency he had ordered the construction of a villa in northern Shanida, near to what would later be known as Seintoit, Beringion. He moved to the house after his nephew ascended to the throne and spent the majority of his time there, attracting a large number of other poets, artists and musicians.

Meliàr never married, nor did he ever father any legitimate children. However, he was rumoured to have had periodical affairs with a few mistresses and, perhaps more scandalously, with his most favoured poets and artists (who were all, invariably, male).

Despite his active participation in the writing circles and continuous attempts, Meliàr's literary legacy is a couple poems and some of the earliest free-text prose that never were particularly popular, known or praised.

Meliàr passed away in 2056, aged 61, in his villa, surrounded by friends and, presumably, lovers.
