'''Kol Yarny''', known as Prince Kol /kɑːl/ ([[bukk|bukkean]]: /kʌl/)  was a [[Kareden]] ruler and religious leader who led his people on a quest to settle. He is referred to as the Great Hornet in the Kareden religious canon, formalized under King Anashary.

=== A Quest to Osa Nara ===

After none of these lands seemed to work out for the Kareden, Prince Kol met a group of travelers, who were telling stories about the wonderful land of [[Osa Nara]]. Captivated by the idea, Prince Kol ventured further to the north, after which an army led by several of his generals, including the tarnarian [[King Anashary|Deiecut Nornan]], conquered [[Osa Nara]] in a two-year campaign.

Captivated by the idea, Prince Kol ventured further to the north, after which an army led by several of his generals, including the tarnarian [[Gole Anashary|Deiecut Norna]], conquered [[Osa Nara]] in a two-year campaign.

Prince Kol became ruler of the land, as Deiecut became army leader and expanded the country to the east, overtaking the troubled state of [[Xornerian]]. When he came back from the conquests, he was able to dethrone Prince Kol in a ceremony which Kol thought was to be a celebration of the formation of the kingdom. Instead, Deiecut argued that Prince Kol's visionary duties had been finished, since Mamkoon was found. He also referred to Prince Kol as the Great Hornet for the first time, suggesting that, having fulfilled his role, he should now be excised from the hive. Taking the Kareden name of Anashary, at the same ceremony Deiecut proclaimed himself to be the new Prince.

Taking the Kareden name of Anashary, at the same ceremony Deiecut proclaimed himself to be the new Prince.

Prince Kol was, thus, stripped of all the power and instead given an honorary religious role. Several months later he attempted to retake power, but Anashary's grip on power was too strong, and his own generals betrayed Kol in order to win favors with Anashary. The former prince was then executed by Deiecut, but it was dressed up as a religious ceremony, upon which "the Great Hornet leaves the nest", with the Kareden watching Prince Kol leave to the east and cheering for him. Prince Kol was instructed to travel back to his place of birth and come back and teach the tenets of religion to the young. However, later in the night several Anashary's men have caught up with Prince Kol and murdered him.

Prince Kol left a strange trace in history. The leader of the Kareden people, the warlord who left a bloody trail in Tarnaria, and the founder of the [[mamkoon|Kingdom of Mamkoon]], his swift loss of power to King Anashary had essentially reduced his role in history to a brief mention.

Another reason is that the Kareden were nomads, and Prince Kol's conquests, while leaving a bloody trail behind them, were quickly forgotten and cities rebuilt: Junjuhl and Kardon have regained their population and wealth just two years after being decimated by Prince Kol. Toyen sprung back up within just several months. Or was never occupied and neither was Udds.

The power struggle was concealed from the public behind the veneer of religious imagery and ritual. King Anashary reveled in the process of creating new theology with Prince Kol in it.

The power struggle was concealed from the public behind the veneer of religious imagery and ritual. Gole Anashary reveled in the process of creating new theology with Prince Kol in it.

He was weaved into the Kareden branch of [[Xaewoon]] as the Great Hornet, a visionary whose mission was to lead his people to the homeland, and who then went away to join the [[Eternal Companion]]. The rite of passage into adulthood began to include seeing the Great Hornet fly beside the Eternal Companion. Most believers would stare at the sky for minutes, until they would convince themselves that they do see a small speck of light near the star.

Another legend includes the story that the Great Hornet will return from the east, to lead his people to the New Mamkoon. This was a story that was especially favored by King Anashary, who wanted to keep his options open, as he was eyeing [[Darda]] for possible conquests. In reality, the idea of New Mamkoon became more popular with the deterioration of the Kingdom of Mamkoon, and several religious sects made the wait for the return of Prince Kol as the Great Hornet a central piece of their theology, which was then exported to the east after the migration of the Kareden from [[loodon empire|Loodon]].
