b 2565, d 2626. r 2603 to 2626. Last Grand Duke of Aurice, second son of Stalcast Bijäl, poisoned shortly before the Aurician Revolution of 2627. married Sunasa in 2586 by whom he had Thuvactira (daughter, born 2587), Rhoglos (son, born 2589), Almun (daughter, born 2591), Jemahlia (daughter, born 2593). He slew his older brother, Grand Duke Vast Bijäl, in a duel in 2603. A machiavellian prince, Rhungast was not much loved, but not much loathed until he murdered his brother. He was third and last Grand Duke of Aurice.
His agents disposed of his brother Vast's sons, Stalcast II (murdered 2604) and Bralcast (murdered 2617 after he fled to southern Orrhymby). Stalcast II had only been married a few years and died without issue. He sent Sulormingue and Chanda the Fair into permanent exile in 2603 to Skaligdæ in the southern hemisphere. Rhungast's sisters by his own mother, Mekarna, already lived with their husbands abroad.
He took only one wife, but many courtesans, including his favorite, Amísbë Almikkis. A great builder of overseas empire, he also established the preliminaries of the Psychic Brigade. Falsely accused of dabbling in chaos, he was not a religious dogmatist, but generously supported several temples, including that of the Golden Phœnice.
Rhungast died the calendar year prior to the Aurician Revolution [2627 IR] of poisoning. His son, the putative heir, Rhoglos Bijäl, (born 2589), fled into exile with what remained of House Bijäl.
