Jaihkun Amberfern

Jaihkun Entomyn Amberfern the Second was the 791st Primonarch of Eia, preceded by Archolojus VII and succeeded by Rorym III after his death in 1734 ASR.

As the eldest son of Archolojus, Jaihkun was a tyrannical Primonarch responsible for the war against the separatist state of Tokah, resulting in millions of unnecessary Yrdain deaths and political fractures across Eia. He practically destroyed the Primonarchy singlehandedly.

Also outrightly racist and xenophobic, he received worldwide hatred from his subjects and disapproval from the Loft Council, which he ultimately disbanded and virtually allowed himself to control all.

Though his younger brother and sister, Anthemartys and Elythyyn were both far better contenders for the Throne, Jaihkun was the eldest and sought power in all forms. One controversial event early in his reign left the family in jeopardy when Jaihkun had a minister executed in secret for pointing out that, if it were in the best interest of the country and/or world that the reigning primonarch be forced to abdicate, a vote of no confidence could freely be called.

Early Reign
Jaihkun's early reign saw his nation adopt a firm-but-fair attitude. After the political fracturing of the Yrdain Empire during his father's reign, Jaihkun wanted to solidify the imperial territory so not to look weakened. He was widely favoured at the time; responding to the people's requests timely, encouraging unity and pride in the Empire.

Attempting to establish an ideal society, he grew impatient with those unwilling to change their views. Of all his later failings, during this time he was a progressive ruler who condemned bigotry in all forms, so much so that he was known to have disciplinary squads round up individuals who expressed these views and imprison them. This became such an occurrence that when the cells were filled, he resorted to having them killed. In defense of this, he declared he would not wait decades for those people to be educated into a new mindset, and that society needed to progress swiftly.
