He has two stepmothers due to the traditional polygamy his father pursued, one of which was hanged after allegedly killing Tashmang II.'s half brother. He is in close contact with his second stepmother, Porpore Hava Minapalsa, who is also the mother of his two half-sisters Cifilka and Joshan. 
Tashmang II. allegedly impregnated a woman of the common folk, causing a minor scandal. The woman and her newborn both died during childbirth. It is also said that his stepmother Porpore tried to have a child with him, but failed to become pregnant. Tashmang II. later married his cousin Tsarce and became father of a daughter at the age of 33, called Pammane. 
== Early Life ==
Tashmang II. was born as the first child of King Tashmang I. and Hinnang, when they were 26 and 24, respectively. He grew up very sheltered and was rarely shown publicly. He is said to have been a shy child who received a lot of attention from his mother, but not so much from his father, who had a troublesome second marriage to Malame. According to rumours, Tashmang I. wanted to have a different son to be his successor, because he feared that Tashmang II. would be a weak leader. (tbc)
When his father married his third wife, Porpore, the relationship began to warm up again and Tashmang I. began to prepare him to become a monarch one day. When Tashmang II. was 7 and 9 respectively, his half-sisters Cifilka and Joshan were born.
He was "deeply saddened" when his mother died at the age of 47, when he was 23.
== As King of Nacafi ==
Tashmang II. became king at the age of 29 after the death of King Tashmang I.. As his first royal act, he seeked to resolve the border conflict with Tapiria.
=== Rakshay Subjugation ===
To end the plundering of Nacafian villages by Rakshay warriors, an ongoing decades-long conflict, Tashmang II. demonstrated Nacafi's military strength by engaging in a war with the Rakshay. At the same time, Dtakatto attacked Rakshay from the north. Both nations successfully defeated the Rakshay and split their territory, extending Nacafi's territory northwards up until the lower Racai river.
=== Annexation of Femmaule ===
Tashmang II. had cartographers map out the estimated extent of Centaur herds East of Nacafi and incorporated it into the Kingdom as a dependency. Furthermore, he forged the so called Ìman-Tashmang Pact with Tènduranŷn to divide the rest of the yet unconquered lands in the east and create a puppet state of Vanurian nomads that would serve as a trade hub and a buffer zone between the two countries.
