Adagan

Adagan Khan (447 - 528) was the last ruler of the united Tungrid people. Facing oppression and harsh treatment by the Remans on whose land they lived, Adagan moved his people west to the Trade Lake. There his forces defeated a Varholdian alliance and collapsed the state that led it. Moving further through, Adagan decided to settle his people once they reached the West Sea, a prominent location in Tungrid mythology.
Adagan decentralised his government in his old age, setting each of his many sons as the governor of a different area of his lands. When he died the Tungrid lands were split between them. These states included Barzal, ruled by his second son Behnam; Ormol, ruled by Ormahas; and Krasnar, led by his oldest son Kaihan.
Adagan was such an influential and universally-respected ruler that, after his death, the practice of naming others after him was outlawed. He is said to have ascended to the heavens to assist the Tungrid sky god Hulunbajin.
