− | '''Koloy Mardis''' ([[bukk|bukkean]]: Mordys) was a [[Kefan_people|Kefan]] ruler, who was the [[Murdoh]] of the city of Ari and later the king of the kingdom of Ari. He is notable for having started a two and a half century civil war when he demanded independence from Rufu Aoa, the king of [[Afanyu]]. His request was denied, and Mardis attempted to take power by force. After a number of inconclusive battles with Aoa, Mardis proclaimed himself to be the king of the short lived kingdom of Ari. He was killed by his own sons who betrayed him to a contestant outside of the family. | + | '''Koloy Mardis''' ([[bukk|bukkean]]: Mordys) known as Mardis was a [[Kefan_people|Kefan]] ruler, who was the [[Murdoh]] of the city of Ari and later the king of the kingdom of Ari.
