Von Hamobora

## Von Hamobora, Tulkon XXXII

Partial Orc Descent (Gogeg)

Queen of Norte-Muldox

**Von Hamobora**, known more commonly as **Vonha**, was a female Dwarf who served as the 32nd Tulkon. She was born in Neodore, Nodal, in 2876 AT. Her mother was an Onor Prophetist from Norte-Muldox, while her father was a member of the Nolino people, a mixed ethnic group from Nodal's southwest region, giving her Nodal, Ynoforan, Ydelhiad, and Gogeg ancestry. Her family fled to her mother's native Norte-Muldox in 2880 AT when Nodal became part of the Empire of Orcanth, fearing prosecution for her parents' vocal opposition to Nodal's State Church Doctrine.

During her childhood, Zetopa was preparing his plan for conquest unbeknownst to the rest of the world, and the Tulkonist Council disbanded due to extreme public pressure and the alleged end of the Tulkon Cycle, causing her to not know of her status. During her twenties, Zetopa reformed the Empire of Orcanth into the Immortal Empire and the Immortal War finally broke out. The Republics of the Frozen Continent, Norte-Muldox, A’Roastad, Nyfo Ynoforiad, and the newly formed Ilois Republic (which had broken off from the RIHS, which joined the Empire), allied together to fight the Immortal Empire. Vonha was conscripted and served at the Siege of Usybork. Thanks to the efforts of the forces of Ditarre, the IHS fell very quickly and Human Immortal Kings Ino and Etesh were killed by Zetopa for their failures.

Elsewhere, however, the Free Alliance was not as successful: Orcanth and Gogeget brought the Frozen Continent republics to their knees, and Ynofora was taken over by Gogeget, who later committed a genocide against the Ynoforan people. A temporary ceasefire was declared and most of the world’s forces returned home to be on the defense. During the march back over the Usybork border, Vonha had a vision of Tulkon E’Acoradi, who told her to fight Zetopa. Vonha still did not understand her status, but she knew she had to heed the instructions.

Zetopa sensed that Vonha was the Tulkon and was on his tail, and sent Eberil to fight her and ordered magic bombings of Norte-Muldox and A’Roastad, killing Vonha’s family and causing both countries to surrender for fear of any further losses. Since most soldiers were at home for the ceasefire, the free armies were crippled. The Ilois Republic, which also had the rest of the IHS under its jurisdiction, surrendered as well. Zetopa had won, and all lands were under rule of the Immortal Empire. Vonha, however, refused to back down and continued to track down the Immortals. Over several months, she travelled the world in disguise, searching for clues as to the location of the Immortals’ secret headquarters

After several months of searching, Vonha finally tracked them to Nen Ren and entered a final confrontation. Zetopa’s allies Keaghuz and Topo were killed, and eventually, Zetopa fell, as well. Prior to his death, Zetopa told Vonha the truth about her true identity, which he had sensed upon her arrival. In the aftermath of Zetopa’s death, the Immortal Empire completely crumbled. Vonha spent many years helping the world recover, and vowed to never again kill another person. Her days as a warrior were over: she was now the Tulkon.

Vonha first used Yaaamemon’s Rock to spread healing energy through the world. She disbanded the RIHS; from now on, the human kingdoms would exist as fully independent republics. The republics of the Frozen continent were the most directly affected by the war and received massive amounts of aid, paid primarily by Orcanth. all states people who supported or sympathized with the immortal kings were ousted. The nations that had sided with the kings, with the exceptions of Usybork and Nokina and Honsin (which had fallen under Iloisa rule years before the war’s end) would have harsh economic sanctions for the next 20 years. As punishment for the genocide of the Ynoforans, Gogeget was split into two separate nations for the next 15 years before being allowed reunification. Orcanth was reorganized into a republic. A’Roastad took back the former Ynoforan lands and allowed survivors to settle there. Vonha also pushed for demilitarization, and reformed the Tulkonist Council. While the reforms were tough, they were effective at promoting peace. In her 70s, Vonha was elected queen of Norte-Muldox. Her first act as queen was to create the multinational Onor-Ynoforan Codes, which defined and listed war crimes, such as the bombing of civilian populations and genocide. All of the world’s nations ratified the document in 2949.

Vonha abdicated the throne in 2975, and spent the rest of her career traveling the world and engaging with the public as a Charitable Tulkon. She eventually died at 115 in Onor. She was succeeded by the Human Ico. Vonha is arguably the most important Tulkon of the modern era: along with destroying the Immortal Empire, she began a lasting era of peace and changed the world. However, some of her actions, like the Onor-Ynofora Codes as well as the reformation of the Tulkonist Council, would lead directly to the Keghotogh Crisis.
