Emperor of Dara Happa in the Karvanyar Dynasty.

Fortunate Succession

The Unity List

 * Sarenesh was Karvanyar's brother.
 * He took the throne after Karvanyar had been defeated by Shah Nadar in battle.
 * Sarenesh married the daughter of Nadar

Commentary
An apparent problem exists that after Sarenesh steps down, the new emperor is his son Heredesh. But before that son could be born, he had to marry his mother, a foreigner, and so step down. So who appointed him as Councilor? Another issue is that a son, Sacassar, is described as being born before Sarenesh ascended the throne.

A resolution may be that Sarenesh first took Nadar's daughter as a concubine or in a morganatic marriage. Then as a result of needing new forces from Carmania, he had to upgrade the relationship to a full marriage which required him to step down.
