Norukai Ul-Tash

Norukai Ul-Tash was the son and successor of Tovaan Ul-Tash, and a grandson of Torkai, who inherited the rule of the Tovaanid Empire when his father abdicated in 944 CV. His reign was marked with unrest and instability almost from the beginning, as his uncle Aotujai's terrible defeat at Shamach occurred the very next year, and the ensuing collapse of his empire sparked crisis in the Tovaanid state as well. This eventually led to the Woodcutter's Rebellion in 956 CV, and then to the general revolt of the Kelims against Suagir rule and the declaration of the Banuviri Sultanate. 
Norukai was a personally courageous warrior and not a completely ineffective ruler, but he was unable to surmount these challenges. He was captured and killed in 968 CV, two years before the last Suagirs were driven out of Kelimaria. His method of execution was that traditionally used for common bandits in Kelimarian lands: He was bound to a tree and strangled against its trunk with a bowstring, and his body was left tied there to rot. It was a deliberately humiliating end for a ruler who was one of five men in history to bear the title Ul-Tash.
