Born from the bloodlines of the Sephi monarchs, the Vatali Empire was founded to extend the reach of the monarchy into the Kiast System. Mirroring Sephi civilization, it is ruled under a royal lineage of monarchs that were entrusted to rule the Kiast System from Kiast.
The Monarchy
Derived from a bloodline of royal lineage, the monarchy is comprised of successors and precursors from the Anasaye line of heirs to the Astral Throne. The firstborn of the ruling monarch traditionally inherits the throne after the death of its precursor, or in rare cases, when the former monarch retires from the Astral Throne. While this has provided a clear line of succession for centuries, firstborn twins are a troublesome burden to the line of succession and has resulted in at least one instance where the heir was left unclear.
Ranorm Anasaye
- "Entrusted to extend our reach into untamed borders, I will govern these worlds as a King should."
- ―Ranorm Anasaye
Before donning the title “King of Kiast,” Ranorm was a subject under the all-encompassing monarchy of Sephi civilization. His elevation to that status was earned through royal decree and bore promising benefits for heirs of his name. While not unheard of, his rise from a mere noble to a Lord carried with it some rumours of affairs with a member of royal lineage; thus, the rumours were made to sound as if the monarchy had elevated the Anasaye line to hide an affair with one of royal blood. It didn’t quell the rumours when he was married to a Sephi princess moments before being sent to establish a foothold in the Nilgaard sector in the Outer Rim Territories, but the bitterness had died down to whispers among particular court members.
For all intents and purposes, Ranorm was the founder of the Anasaye dynasty in the
Tanisad Anasaye
- "He was brash, foolish and mild-mannered. But above all, he was a King that held his subjects in line and could not be bought."
- ―Recordings, circa 530 BBY
Whatever rumours remained of Ranorm’s nobility, the birth of his firstborn son silenced the most vocal scrutinizers. Adored as the first heir born into the bloodline, Tanisad drew the attention of court members committed to winning his favour and the teachings of his father. However, his birth was not without its share of grief as the mother of Kiast’s heir died during childbirth to leave the ruling King a widower.
Being known for his headstrong beliefs and ideals passed down from his father, Tanisad was unpopular with those that have worked for his favour throughout his childhood. Neither of them could seem to change the aspects of his rule that would serve their own agendas or be regarded as more than bickering old men in the High Court.
Kaltani Anasaye
- "I am pledged to the people of Kiast, as my brother before me and our mother before him."
- ―Kaltani Anasaye
Kaltani Anasaye is the ruling queen of Kiast. As a member of the Sephi royal bloodline on Kiast, she is the successor to her late brother’s reign as king and was coronated in 4 BBY.
