Orlaugh Saghir

An important figure in the history of the Dulama Empire, Orlaugh Saghir was Emperor of the Dulama in the late 5th century and early 6th century SR. He launched a major attempt at reforming the tottering imperial edifice, including significant legal reforms and a relocation of the seat of imperial power to the city of Mora, well to the west of the traditional imperial heartland. In addition, Orlaugh himself, along with much of the imperial family, converted to the growing faith of Machaianism, causing significant tensions with the followers of the traditional Dulama religion in the ancient centers of the Dulama and leading to a decline in imperial patronage for its sacrificial traditions.
Although heralded as a major reformer in his time, many of Orlaugh's reforms were later cited as causes of the empire's decline and collapse. Coming under particular fire was his conversion away from the Dulama faith, which would precipitate numerous rebellions and civil wars that sapped the strength of the aging empire.
