'''Bonten''' was the right-hand man of [[Sopoh Dolysoh]]. After the founding of what would later become the state of [[Toor]], Bonten became the administrator of [[Peelee]] and oversaw the construction of the royal palace. Because of this he became known as the Formidable Builder (Ontoh Pujul).

After a series of avalanches, it became clear that Peelee's location was poorly chosen and Bonten suggested to lead the construction of the new capital. Sopoh believed that Bonten's lineage should lead the country after his death, but when Sopoh's son, [[Opol Dolysoh|Opol]], learned about it, he murdered Sopoh and installed himself as the [[Tarnarian_royal_ranks|Gole]]. [[Ludoh]] writes about Bonten that he was "estranged from the blessed family", meaning the Dolysohs. However, records indicate that Bonten did go on to become the overseer of the construction of [[Gaskal]], served as its [[Murdoh]] and was succeeded by his son Gylyr.
