Ramapalar I of the Lotus Claw, or Ramapalar I The Refounder is known for reforging the Raj into the second Harimraj over 15 years of bloody war, subjugating all of Ghankedkhen, the Dhenbasa river valley, the Ascension Peninsula, Kharunyana delta, Dhujat, and Ghaavanaj, along with founding the Southern Branch Lotus Claw Dynasty of Rajas. After taking up the throne of the Kingdom of Durasidehni in 1227 which controlled the west and central plain of southern Rahen, Ramapalar continued the reconquest of Rahen that his father and grandfather began in the 1250s when they captured Dhenijansar. Swiftly conquering, in 1312 he would declare the refounding of the Harimraj despite not owning the north be
yond Dhugajir in the east and Babahagama in the west, mostly due to the strength of the northern Kingdoms of Shamakhad. This was the first time Rahen had been united since the coming of Jaher, who only held it shortly in the 400 years of chaos following the Wars of the Warlock. Earning the title "The Unifier", Ramapalar spent the rest of his life promoting internal cohesion, trade, and prosperity. By the time he passed at 60 he had been coruling with his son Ramapalar II for 5 years.
