'''Opol Dolysoh''' /ʌ'pɑl dɑ'liːsə/ was the second [[Tarnarian_royal_ranks#Gole|Gole]] of [[Toor]]. While he continued to expand the dynasty's influence, his rule was overshadowed by intense power struggles, several assassination attempts and an ultimately unsuccessful coup by his wife, [[Byskoh Losoh|Byskoh]]. He was succeeded by his son, [[Meerō Dolysoh|Meerō]].

In spite of both having a bad temper, they miraculously managed to rebuild their relationship and Byskoh returned to the gole's side. She then helped Opol plan and execute the hunt for Ormyn's forces. Ormyn was defeated and killed in 1805 during the encounter at Gaajmas. Since then Byskoh always accompanied Opol on all the campaigns and their partnership and close friendship lasted until Opol's death in 1815.

== The war with the Negy ==

By this time the [[Negy]] became the biggest threat to the Dolysoh dynasty, with [[Oskodon]], a [[superhero warrior]] known as the Negy King, expanding his territory beyond Dol. Reacting to this, Opol began a campaign in 1805 [[FR]] that lasted for two years. However, Oskodon and his forces were able to not only fight back, but also lay claim to Palas. For the next three years the conflict stalled, but resumed in full force at the end of 1810, this time leading to the displacement of Negy to the south of Dol.

Opol's biggest ambition was to expand Toor to the west and subjugate [[Laeooy Coast]]. Preparation for the Laeooy campaign lasted for several years, but Opol's plans were thwarted by the [[Negy]].

Reacting to this, Opol began a campaign in 1805 [[FR]] that lasted for two years. However, Oskodon and his forces were able to not only fight back, but also lay claim to Palas. In a famous battle at Olonoh, Oskodon's army waited for Opol far away from the mountain. This made Opol believe that since there are no mountains or boulders nearby, it is safe to approach. However, the enemy's army suddenly separated into two, revealing that they were stood on an enormous flat stone that Oskodon then hurled at Opol's troops, killing thousands of soldiers and winning the battle.

This was not enough for Opol, who wanted Oskodon personally dead. He therefore dedicated himself to the war, while passing on the title of gole to his son Meerō in 1811 [[FR]].

In the next four years, Opol's army was able to capture territories just north of the Negy Chain, forcing most Negy to fall back. In 1815 a key battle at the Uzar mountain saw both Opol and Oskodon die in action. The battle was won by Toor and remaining Oskodon troops were forced to flee into the Kōnzoh desert, where they most probably perished, as no further records of Oskodon's forces exist.

In the next four years, Opol's army was able to capture territories just north of the Negal mountain chain, forcing most Negy to fall back. One of the families by the name of Deeras struck a peace deal with Opol to settle in the plains south of Dol and maintain neutrality in the region. This later became the city-state of [[Deeras]].

Opol's name might have been mentioned in the [[Great Lore]]: according to [[Porteek]], the story of how Opol poisoned Sopoh was mentioned in one of the songs. Opol is conspicuously not mentioned in the [[Swift Hen]]. Instead, Byskoh is named as the successor to Sopoh, although she is not considered as part of the [[Mōroh|True Lineage]].
