Tovaan Ul-Tash

Tovaan Ul-Tash was the fourth recognized son of Torkai Ul-Tash and one of the most famed generals in his father's great wars of conquest. After Torkai's death in 930 CV, he, along with his brothers Kirdai and Aotujai, received the title of Ul-Tash in his own right and was given rulership over one of the three major states into which the All-Conqueror's domains were divided. Tovaan received the westernmost portion, comprising almost all of Kelimaria and the land of Ojaum; this was called the Tovaanid Empire after his own name.
Tovaan was master of his empire for fourteen years, until in 944 CV he grew tired of the duties of rulership and abdicated the throne to his eldest son, Norukai (who would be second and last ruler of the Tovaanid state). Things began to go badly almost immediately. The stirrings of rebellion began among the Kelims following word of the catastrophic Aotujan defeat at Shamach the following year, which demonstrated to all their subject peoples that the Suagirs could be beaten. Thus scarcely had Norukai inherited the title Ul-Tash when his domain became troubled with unrest and rumor of revolt. In 956 CV, with the Aotujan state having collapsed completely and the Tovaanids reeling from this crisis to their east, the Woodcutter's Rebellion broke out, following by a general insurrection of all the Kelimarians. It took thirteen more years of vicious warfare after that, but by 970 CV, the Tovaanid Empire was gone and in its place stood a new Kelimarian Sultanate under the newly proclaimed Banuviri dynasty. 
Tovaan himself played no part in any of this. Following his abdication, he and a small group of loyal retainers rode northeast, passing over the Hawkmoors and going beyond Kelimarian lands; it is said they sought the headwaters of the Toross and from there turned towards the Gorgonstone Mountains and the desolate western edge of the Suagir steppe. They traveled without imperial insignia or regalia, dressed as common warriors. Their fate is unknown and there is no further mention of them in the chronicles of the chaotic years of the Tovaanid downfall. Many said then, and still say now, that Tovaan had the strength to rule but no desire for it while his son had the desire but not the strength.
