Asgarvi

Asgarvi Sarkatärji, third-born son of Rojkazamidatri Sarkatärji, is the sixth and current Jögae of Rothrän, having involuntarily ascended the Saiannic Year 339 to the Tusken Throne following the assassinations of the Jögai Majzari and Jasmipalkatri II. He is the first Rothinji sovereign fluent in a foreign language (Saiannic). 
==Early Life==
Asgarvi was reportedly an intelligent and slightly moody child, who early on showed a predisposition towards justice, and always remarking upon unfairness in games with his brethren and cousins. In his teens he held a rivalry towards his brother Jasmipalkatri due to them being infatuated with the same wench, but later on he - by all accounts - forgave his brother. He partook in the war against Jarkatajärva and personally slew three enemy combatants (other witness testimonies claim he only slew one). Following the Jarkatajärvan war, he travelled in a mercantile mission to the Free City of Veigholmoä, where he would stay for two years, and reportedly fathering a bastard with an Eldan woman, before serving as a mercenary in the Gates. Returning home, he set up his residency in Murrja, and came to betroth the daughter of the Lord Kai Murrjadi, thus building a political power base. During these years, he developed a propensity for drinking and cynicism.
==Regency==
Upon the ascent of Jasmipalkatri II in 339 ABV, it soon became clear that the fifth Jögae was deteriorating in terms of mental health, and not to his full mind. Unwilling, Asgarvi had to diligently take up many of the Jögae's duties. As an expert in Rothinji Tribal Law, he was instrumental in leading the interrogations during the early phases of the unravelling of the Rejzamazirid Conspiracy.
==The Rejzamazirid Conspiracy==
A few days into Jasmipalkatri's reign, a noble youth named Ulko Murrjadi had been assaulted by the sons of Rejzamaziri, Rojkazamidatri ("Rojka") and Naranjarani. These were apprehended, and soon it was revealed that they may have assassinated the previous Jögae, Majzari, by using obsidian glass shards. Called into trial, Asgarvi decided to conduct a separate investigation and to put an information cordon around Tuomvärji, blocking any news from the island from reaching the mainland, by barring both foreign and domestic ships. This was to stop Sarkajari, the oldest surviving brother among the Rejzamazirids, and the suspected top plotter, from getting news of the trial.
The situation became even more tenuous when Jasmipalkatri II fell into a coma and Asgarvi formally assumed regency. This coincided with the arrival of Jari, and Jari's seduction of one of the wives of Jasmipalkatri II, leading to an illicit trepanation taking place, leading to Jasmipalkatri's death. This failed surgery, conducted by Jari, was revealed to be a part of a plot to overthrow the government and install Sarkajari through a military coup. Over a dozen plotters were arrested, out of which ten later were executed.
The ringleader was Ussajamölussapakatri, a hermit followed by some of the inhabitants of Tuomvärji as a prophet. He had apparently taken in Naranjarani as his disciple, with the goal of fulfilling a prophecy to make Sarkajari Jögae. But Sarkajari himself had later on supported the plot, urging Naranjarani to lay his vote on Jasmipalkatri to reveal followers of him. Sarkajari had also administered poisons to Jasmipalkatri to dull his senses during their years together in command.
Asgarvi's execution of the hermit provoked a coup attempt from some militant fanatics in Tuomvärji, and the Jögae was assaulted by a few hundred plotters on the steps of the temple. The plotters also burnt down two thirds of the temple, an outrageous act of sacrilege which showed the disdain against Rothrän society by these miscreants! Following this sacrilege, the Rae-Sae and loyalist forces fought down the rebellion, leaving 102 rebels dead.
==Reign and reforms==
Asgarvi has openly stated his intention to be a ruler of peace and culture, and to rebuild Tuomvärji as a wealthy trading city. The Jögae has, unlike his predecessors, taken a great interest in public finances and management, and have also intended to complement tribal law with city laws modelled on Saiannic Law. In the realm of judicial reforms, Asgarvi has for the first time among Rothränni rulers:
*Separated the tribal property of the Sarkatärji clan from the civil property in Tuomvärji.
*Defined the concept of real estate.
*Introduced a Tuomvärji city council with oversight over the public finances.
*Installed protection of private property rights.
*Planned and delineated a concept of "citizenship". 
The Jögae has also launched an annual budget report, dictated that all reports should be adopted in the Saiannic alphabet instead of the Rothinji runes, and tried rebuilding the temple. Asgarvi is, despite the serious crisis wrecking his kingdom, aiming for a future with a stronger and more prosperous Rothrän!
