Kauane Yrasêma Arandu (1786-1862) was a Ta'arohan and military leader who ruled first as the Duke of Arandu, before serving as the first Minister-Chancellor of a united Ta'aroha from 1821 until 1860. His most significant accomplishments during his reign include the founding of the modern Ta'arohan state and national identity, his reorganization of the nation's armies, his military successes against neighboring states, and his patronage of the arts and foreign scholars. Kauane was the last monarch to rule over the nation, as he abolished the position and established Ta'aroha as a modern centralized state partially modeled after Edury. Ta'aroha greatly increased its territories and became a leading regional military power under his rule. He became known as Sapy'a Tetâ, or "The One Who Splits the Earth." (See More...)
