Taking the Lotus Throne after the assassination of his father Amanapurna I in 1402, Amanapurna II is seen as a benevolent Raja and a stark contrast to his father. Upon his ascension he pardoned all those involved in Dalapalar's revolt, cut taxes, restore titles to dispossessed nobles, and set the ministries to rebuilding the ravaged towns and fields of Rahen. Amanapurna paid for these public work projects by greatly decreasing the size of his father's army and granting retiring veterans large amounts of royal land. His ability to rebuild the countryside, end conscription, and not weak the officer corps is largely attributed to his diplomatic acumen and personal friendship with the Grand Prince of Bhuvari. Although this ensured peace between the two nations, the weakening of the military would become problematic in the years following his death during the great Smothering Sickness of 1414.
Legacy[]
Amanapurna II is seen favorably in modern day Rahen as a gentle, solmen, and kind soul, especially in comparison to his father. Criticisms surrounding him often surround his loosening of the military and its future repercussions, though supporters claim that it would not have been an issue if not for his untimely death to the Smothering Sickness.
