Za'fah Eze'leah Yah'jah'wah

Za'fah Eze'leah Yah'jah'wah Devayani (Saiännic: Zaiphaëzeiileäyaijaiwa, or Yaijaiwa for short, Tiuannic: Sophia Essele Iaiavaia Divinia) is the Deva'sjénshah (God Emperor) of the Za'ahene Empire, a former military leader and member of the Za'ahene Devayani aristocracy who fought alongside the forces of Ni'za Va'yara after ambushing the Vidstossi forces who appeared to be sight of victory after many brutal hours of combat with the Za'ahene troops that  had burnt down Erýaz.
Following the peace with the Kingdom of the Gates, she reappeared in Za'ah during a purge initiated by the Ar'yah of the city against the Jun'zi. Through a military coup, she established control of the city of Great Za'ah, and the Devayani aristocracy and Ni'zi bureaucracy declared her Deva'sjénshah or God Emperor. 
Inspired by her lover and muse Jadi, Za'fah embarked on an ambitious reform programme, liberating the Jun'zi (or "Joy Slaves"), and installing freedom of worship throughout the Za'ahene Empire. She also established a free trade treaty with the Saiannic states. These policies have made her beloved and worshipped amongst the common folk and the slaves, but disliked by the elites and the upper classes of the Empire.
The Za'fahna sees the formation of a development of arts and culture throughout the Empire, a renaissance where people for the first time see themselves as participants and co-creators in culture. Za'fahna is focusing on introspection and on dream-like murals and sculptures that are "captured in the moment". This innovation has also spread to theological and spiritual concepts.
Jadi's Seekerism has been established as a major religion in the city of Za'ah, and its teachings are running opposite to the ruling fear-based Múisms and Devayanisms, which also has created religious conflicts inside of the city of Za'ah.
In the year 315 ABV, Za'fah married her lover Jadi in a lesbian marriage (not unknown in Za'ahene culture), and left her consort as the regent while travelling to Abhainnia to wage a war with Raidhsénia. She defeated the Raidhsénians in Naírdeagh Oirthír. 
However, due to schisms within the Seekerist movement, Jadi left her regency and departed to the seekerist commune of Ardzanna Zafalea, while the Za'ahene-occupied city of La'zal was put under siege by the Cult of Akhalazor. Thus, Za'fah has been pressured by the military bureaucracy to return to her native land.
