Nolsaa I

Nolsaa I - King of the Kamuan Queendom and High Chief of Pulkuati since 1207 1E. Nolsaa assumed power in the Queendom and despite being an excellent diplomat who succesfully worked to develop the realm's political and diplomatic standing in the world, he is usually disregarded as a ruler that didn't do much - mostly because of his short, 8-year-long reign.

Early life
Nolsaa was born in 1149 1E to Kamua Pa Sapta and High Chief Calue II. Nolsaa quickly picked up his mother's wit and learned his father's diplomatic knowledge, becoming very useful to both of his parents. In 1164 1E, at the age of 15, Nolsaa married his twin, Capa Pa Kamua.

When his mother crowned herself the Queen of the Konaa, Nolsaa helped her in managing the new kingdom's vassals and chiefs. He is also said to have been involved in a brief romance with his mother during this time but, according to reliable sources, it never evolved into anything serious.

Rise to power
When Kamua I died in 1207 1E, the succession was unclear; the most obvious choice would have been Capa, who, according to the matriarchical society of the Konaa, should have been first in line as Kamua's only daughter. However Capa, most probably forced to have done so by her brother-husband, renounced her claim to the throne. Thus, the two most likely pretenders were Nolsaa himself and Kamua's youngest son, Bersuu, whose main claim to the throne was his marriage to their mother. Bersuu declared war in 1208 1E when Nolsaa crowned himself king.

The ensuing war was a rather quick conflict during which Bersuu held the crown for a month before being deposed and then killed by Nolsaa. in 1209 1E, Nolsaa crowned himself king for the second time and officialy took over the queendom.

Druing his short reign, Nolsaa managed to centralize the realm and tighten the monarch's grip on the vassals. The king also succeeded in securing an alliance with the Kingdom of Radondaga, a powerful trading state on the Desetian Islands. This particular ally would prove useful for Nolsaa's successor, Kamua II.

Death
Nolsaa died on 18th September 1215 1E, succeeded by his daughter, Kamua Pa Capa, leaving a strong queendom with a great political position to his successor.

Nolsaa was buried alongside his mother in the city of Asuupim.
