Eastern Emperors
Nineteenth Emperor Given name: Lein Ukad berNuren Lifetime: 421-478 Reign name: ‘Three Phoenixes’ Reign Period: 451-478 Posthumous Title: The Discerning Emperor
Twentieth Emperor Given name: Lein Danel berUkad Lifetime: 452-494 Reign name: ‘Divine Vastness’ Reign Period: 478-494 Posthumous Title: The Ambitious Emperor

Western Emperors
Nineteenth Emperor Given name: Lein Umir berNuren Lifetime: 435-489 Reign name: ‘Blessed Contentment’ Reign Period: 451-489 Posthumous Title: The Humble Emperor
Twentieth Emperor Given name: Lein Kedin berUmir Lifetime: 468-518 Reign name: ‘Blessed Might’ Reign Period: 489-510 Posthumous Title: The Tolerant Emperor
The Western Court fell to the then-Imperial High Commissioner of Finances, Yech Asal, in 510; his treatment of Lein Kedin and the Lein family, to whom he allocated a palace near Kiron and allowed them to keep their property, impressed many in the world. After a brief struggle with the Yech, the Eastern Court also decided to surrender; again Yech Asal treated his predecessors with magnanimity, and thus the Lein ended without much massive bloodshed (compared to ~2 million dead for the Lein Founding War, the war which established Yech control over the whole Empire cost around 250,000 lives).
