Bohar Raamu

Bohar of House Raamu was the Disinia of Sofalss from 182 to 202 after Beivei/Dharukh. Calling the city state "Divine State" became common around this time. A priest from old slave-owning household at town of Zumilsse, Bohar was gifted with keen intelligence, social skill and ambition. He tended to eat too much for his health and many of his rivals considered him great only in girth, an illusion of harmlessness he employed during his climb in the hierarchy to high priesthood. 
Bohar's talents were in organization - he was not a religious innovator but instead keen on creating a stronger system around ancient Yeharene traditions and the teachings of Prophets. He however understood warfare poorly, which contributed to Sofalssian failure to defeat their weaker southern neighbour in the first Sofalssian-Noorian War. Due to his obesity Bohar travelled on a special litter carried by slaves and softened by furs, with parasols protecting him from scorching sun. A large gathering of priesthood, cooks, sages, musicians, dancers, servants and other camp followers accompanied his army.
Bohar estabalished with help of Eunuchs the first Yeharene system of coinage. This featured copper, silver and gold pieces with holes and sometimes crude carvings to mark them as Sofalssian. Sofalssian bureaucracy was expanded and hierarchy within the priesthood coded by colours and patterns of their clothing. Silk clothing was institutionalized for high ranks, which was part of reason for the silk industry exploding in the Yeharene world - Belz, Noor, Kopros and other cities also set up silk factories, and Sofalss became for a time a centre for fashion knowledge.
The Siance Jouee, a stepped pyramid to celebrate gods and Sofalssian victory over Ak Yjaz Belaz was completed during Bohar's term. He also expanded trade with eastern and northern states to purchase artwork and luxury products. A handful of elaborate bronze daggers wrapped in red wool cloth were gifted as token of appreciation by princesses of Elamian coast. Sofalssian traders were told of increasing conflict with raiders from the north, who were claimed to not be men, but phantoms that haunt the eternal wastelands to the north-east.
Approximately five thousand south Syanese refugees from Jaszóumathan's broken kingdom who had converted to Yeharene faith arrived at Sofalss by ships and rafts in mid-180s adk and were allowed to settle in coastal villages. They faced discrimination by Sofalssian locals who forbade them use of fishing gear which mostly delegated them to basket weaving. The small Syanese minority nevertheless remained. Meanwhile the Soulless caste of untouchables was estabalished for outcasts of native Yeharene population. 
Bohar's last act was to institute institution of Yeharene astrologers known as the Saraullazi. They quickly identify six fixed stars, or planets, as well as one hundred and eight prominent stars. It was however speculated that there would be four more fixed stars, as that would make for twelve heavenly bodies that rotate around the Creation. Bohar died in the year 202 Dharukh after eating a delicious marlin fish captured by a fisherman of Yeharene descent. The fisherman and his family were made soulless, and Bohar's younger brother Behass was chosen as the new Disinia.
