Tathtali (concept)
The first of the The Decimation Mamurs, Tathtali's fifty six year reign saw the institution of the Mamuramat fundamentally reshaped, and in doing so changed the basis of the Wardenite faith as a whole. No longer would the Mamur share power as one among a coequal set of peers. Instead it would rule as a sacred and absolute monarchy to safeguard the faithful - or at least, that was the theory. In reality these ambitions have been thwarted as often as they have been achieved, and the mounting costs of running the increasingly bloated state apparatus would eventually drive the Mamuramat to barter away coastal territories to both Marchers and Aversarians.
As for Tathtali himself, his reign is considered by many historians to have been a success in the face of the growing anarchy of The Downfall. Crowned in 809 IS after defeating and killing his magic-maddened father in a civil war, his marriage to Sanad and their subsequent co-equal rule is still a popular subject matter for poets and singers. It is no wonder then that the modern 'mainstream' branch of Wardenism bears his name and sees him as a second founder, so great was his influence upon the religion and its institutions.
