Chûyin Sarati

Chûyin Sarati Aotuyen was the 114th Chieftain of the Lorhênic Peoples of L'har, serving from 14 Isar's Last Light 1129 1E 3A, upon her father's death, to her own resignation and subsequent exile on 15 Ester's Rainfall 1147 1E 3A.

Chûyin was a valiant warrior and relished in combat, serving as her father, Qaruyi's, top general. She was the last in a line of war-mongering chiefs which meddled in internal politics to spark conflict and put down dissent for the ruling class in Liándas.

Chûyin was considered the greatest fighter of her time, nearly single-handedly putting down the Qa'rho resistance in the Qa'rho Suppression. Her prowess made her feared across all lands in Alderia, but put her in opposition with the Valsiyo of the village, who, under the leadership of Damatus Alariso, put an end to her war-mongering efforts and refused to support her militant causes.

Damatus' efforts to strip Chûyin of her power was finally put to rest when the 46th Valsiyo took power under her student, Râgian Vthradasio, who decided to finish what Damatus started and force Chûyin to step down altogether, as was the first order of business for the 46th.

After stepping down as Chief of Lorhên, Chûyin entered exile in Over Ridge, where she lived out her days training the gentry classes how to properly fight until eventually succumbing to illness and dying in 17 2E 3A.

A controversial figure in Lorhên's history, Chûyin is viewed as a tyrant and a radical by many, but respected as one of the most competent fighters in all of Aria's history. Some believe her actions directly led to the destabilization of L'har and, subsequently, the Ra'jahadi Invasion of L'har, which led directly to the infamous War of the Awakening, while others claim she would have been able to stop both if she hadn't been in Over Ridge at the time. She was succeeded by her younger brother, Garu Aotuyen.
