Wainaba
Wainaba was a revered and respected figure among the Naga, who ruled the Nagarajya on the island of Saba with wisdom and benevolence. He was born into the royal Bamsam and was elected king at the age of 19, after his father passed away.
As king, Wainaba was known for his fair and just rule, and his commitment to the betterment of his people. He worked tirelessly to improve the lives of his subjects, constructing schools and hospitals, and establishing trade relations with neighboring islands.
Under Wainaba's rule, the Naga enjoyed a period of prosperity and stability. He was greatly loved by his people, who saw him as a symbol of hope and progress.
However, this period of peace was not to last. In the 29th year of his reign (the year 3524 of the Clarati Calendar1), a Clarati sorceress arrived on the island of Saba. She used her magic to conquer the island and established the Malikate of Saba, a new ruling government that supplanted Wainaba's leadership. She took the name Malika of Saba after the conquest.
Despite Wainaba's efforts to resist Malika's rule, he was ultimately captured and beheaded after torture. Malika made an example of him to quash any potential resistance to her rule, but Wainaba's death only strengthened the resolve of his people to resist the Malikate.
Wainaba's legacy lives on among the Naga, who continue to honor his memory and uphold the principles of justice and equality that he championed. Many Naga view him as a martyr, a symbol of resistance against the forces of oppression and tyranny.
Today, the island of Saba remains under the rule of Malika and her Malikate, but the Naga still hold out hope for a return of the Nagarajya, when their people were free to rule themselves.
