Armira II

Armira II (629:21 - 699:50) was the Glaanen from 687:51 to 699:50. Her reign coincided with the Great Plague and the Second Spiritual Revival. Because the plague was widely believed to be a punishment from God for the decadence of the preceding era, Armira enacted a series of reforms within the Church to set society on the right course. Unlike most of the Glaanen before her, Armira took an active role in international politics, especially following the outbreak of the Great Plague. She frequently gave advice to the Malisin and the Galin, via Church Ambassadors, and this advice was often heeded.

Armira urged Afbarkeean politicians to enforce mandatory church attendance in their domains, which she felt had become too lax in the late 6th century. Galin-Ĵaa II passed a law to this effect in 696. She also urged landowners to donate land to the Church so that more people could have access to Glaan. In particular, she saw the need for the Church to own more land in the Lantoo, where unorthodox religious beliefs were starting to bloom. She convinced Ĵaa II to personally donate vast quantities of land to the Church.

Armira II became a polarising figure during the rise of the Jregan religion in the 7th century, with praneeĵuns tending to view her as a saviour of Afbarkeean society and morality, and jregans tending to her view as an overbearing tyrant who attempted to dominate Afbarkeean.
