Torastra Elendsa
King Torastra Elendsa
When his father Haldan II died in 651, the royal succession council was faced with a difficult choice. Torastra, Haldan the Younger's son, was regarded as too young at age 16 and many expected a regency, but the succession council surprised many by announcing the outright succession of Haldan's widow Imelene. Imelene took the name of Chelebin III for her rule and oversaw a time of great prosperity for the kingdom.
When Chelebin died, Torastra was now ready to assume power. Seeking to expand his kingdom, he declared the Salt War with the Thardic League in 672. Following the successful conclusion of the Salt War, he set his sights on Chybisa and conquered it in 675.
However, this vigorous campaigning came with a price, and in 687 Torastra was unable to muster an army to retake Chybisa after the loss at the Battle of Geda. His last campaigns against the Kath met only defeat.
