TES Garkeh of the Marches

Royal Heirs that commit ritual suicide in accordance with the Rite of Shathol'Syn are considered to have sacrificed their lives for the Amarr faith in order to usher in the reign of a new emperor. Such lords and ladies of the Great Houses of the Amarr Empire attain a saintly status by their sacrifice. King Garkeh Khanid II's decision to bring the Khanid Kingdom once more under the greater Amarr Empire's dominion led to his being considered a Royal Heir upon the death of Empress Jamyl I. His death was followed by a declaration by King Farokh Khanid III that his predecessor be known as "St. Garkeh of the True Vigil on the Khanid Marches". A gigantic Grand Basilica is being constructed on Khanid Prime V in the memory of "Garkeh of the Marches".
