AROSTA THE CONQUERER
 


The fifth monarch (366-380) of the Corani Empire. Some say Mejenes the Great was the greatest military leader Hârn has ever produced; others say it was Arosta the Conquerer. Both were very successful military leaders. Arosta succeeded his father, Raelan, who was killed at the Battle of Klondis in 366. The Corani Empire might have perished then, for Raelan not only got himself killed but also lost most of the Corani army in the mountains of Hefiosa. Led by Adjak, the tribes of Hefiosa, advanced on Coranan but wasted time looting, which gave Arosta sufficient time to raise and train a new army. In a series of brilliant campaigns, Arosta first defeated the Hefiosa tribes between 366-369, and then defeated the Shira, Kom and Merdi tribes over the next ten years. When Arosta died in 380, planning to conquer the Kingdom of Aleathia in the southwest, he left to his heir, a kingdom which had more than tripled in size and which ruled most of Tharda.
