Daelin II

HIH Daelin II & I is the reigning Emperor and ceremonial head of state of the Hybro-Gorathic Empire, as well as the titular King of Taris, High Jarl of Cholobagh. He was born in 315KOR to then Crown Prince Basilean IV & II and his first wife, Luktra Princess of Tessross, and ascended to the thrown in 338 when his father abdicated.
The scandalous conduct of his father's second marriage lead to the Crown Prince becoming increasingly popular as a well spoken boy, and several minor parties had considered forcing his father to abdicate when the Crown Prince turned 18 in 333KOR, using the precedent Basilean IV set by forcing his grandmother to abdicate in 318.
Unending government scandals, refusals to work with the Koinovoulio, and brutality against protesters lead to widespread support for Daelin to remove to his father by 337. The year, the Empire absorbed Kolangrad and renegotiated with Makriaudia. Basilean IV announced his intent to Abdicate in August and Daelin became Emperor on January 1st 338KOR.
Daelin persued an aggresive foreign policy in Eudeon, invading in 339 in order to combat Nichibotsu expansion. The Second Eudeonic War is progressing well for the Imperial Union, despite accusations of chemical weapons in use. In 340 the Imperial government confirmed its use of Chemical Weapons and its intent to pursue the annexation of former Kolanski West Eudeon, pleasing Kolangrad and angering the Goraths. This was defended due to the rumors of Nichibotsu nuclear weapons, which were confirmed when the Nichibotsu failed to attack several Makriaudian cities.
In 340, Emperor Daelin married Grand Duchess Sjusanna of Kolangrad, sister of the titular Grand Duke Grigorien II, who's reign was bypassed by the 337 Union. Sjusanna gave birth to a daughter, Lenara, later that year. They have an additional four children, and had a son Drakon who died after two months.
