Goven Bylyk

Goven Bylyk was a Mōrtoh elder who was the teacher and mentor of Beejetoh Dolysoh. In 1848 FR when Meerō had died, he convinced Beejetoh to give up her claim to the throne to Mosk-Sopoh, her younger brother. However, he later came to regret this decision, believing that Mosk-Sopoh's violent approach brought suffering on Gaskal and Ydoh Rol and that Beejetoh would have been a better gole.

He was given a chance to remedy this mistake when Mosk-Sopoh's reign was challenged by Doks Raad, an oora from the Chamber of War. Many nobles believed that Mosk-Sopoh was overtaxing them and felt that his successful campaigns did not increase their wealth, while demanding their financial and military support.

Gorōntoh Vossyn-Lōblyn, who at the time was the principle of the Chamber of War, informed Goven about the challenge and about Mosk-Sopoh's unorthodox decision to acknowledge the challenge and hold several physical contests in order to determine the winner. Mosk-Sopoh was absolutely sure he would win, but Goven saw the opportunity and convinced Mosk-Sopoh to hold the contest in secret and inform only a closed circle. He also informed Beejetoh and had her secretly arrive at Gaskal.

When Mosk-Sopoh was killed by Raad, Goven immediately made the claim to the throne on behalf of Beejetoh, knowing that Mosk-Sopoh's daughter Mylyn was nowhere near Gaskal and that Raad wasn't part of Emmoh and thus could not legally make a claim to the throne to begin with.
