'''Maharani Hema Kalyani''' (ಮಹರನಿ ಹೇಮ ಕಲ್ಯಾಣಿ; born ಜಯಂತಿ ''Jayanthi'', 1785 - 4th April 1844), popularly referred to as '''Ko Jayanta''' in [[Pumil Nadu]], and commonly known as '''Catherine of Karangi''' in Estmere, after her baptismal name. A member of the [[Ratta dynasty|Ratta clan]], she married [[Sir Horace Marlowe]] and nominally converted to Sotirianity, creating a scandal in both [[Kingdom of Karangi|Karangi]] and [[Estmere]]. Despite this, after the death of her nephew [[Avinashrao Ratta]] she was placed on the throne of Karangi and ruled for 38 years (21 April 1806 – 4th April 1844).

Although he was not the first Euclean to describe the region, he is still widely considered to be a founder-figure of the Cassien nation; credited with establishing Gaullica's foothold in Cassier as well as opening up the interior of Asteria Superior for Gaullican exploration and later settlement.

During her reign she became known as an avid reformer, keen to introduce Euclean advances in technology and science to Karangi, as well as improve the lives of ordinary people and the rights of women. Though fascinated by Estmerish culture in her youth, she became more conservative later in her reign and sought to protect {{wp|Kannada people#Culture|Pumil culture}}  and encourage the usage of the {{wp|Kannada language|Pumil language}} in her court by Estmerish {{wp|Resident|residents}} and courtiers. She became posthumously known as 'Ko Jayanta' (meaning ''King Victory'', with Jayanta being the masculine form of Jayanthi alluding to her ruling in her own right) as a result of her reforms and strong-will.
 
By the time of her death in 1844 she was one of the richest people in the world, leaving an estimated $4 billion (adjusted for inflation) personal fortune to her children. Despite difficult relations with Estmere in her later reign, she was described by [[Richard Hope]] as "the most noble and magnificent ruler in Satria [...] ruling a kingdom that is run alike heaven upon earth."

Rogerin Dumont (1 June, 1489 - 31 March, 1555) was a Gaullican explorer for Gaullica. Under the commission of Queen Anne the Financer, his 1534 voyage to Asteria Superior made him the first Euclean to explore much of what is now known as western Cassier and Rizealand, the former of which he named "New Gaullica" (Gaullican Nouvelle-Gaullica). Although he was not the first Euclean to describe the region, he is still widely considered to be a founder-figure of the Cassien nation; credited with establishing Gaullica's foothold in Cassier as well as opening up the interior of Asteria Superior for Gaullican exploration and later settlement.
