− | When Opol's rule was challenged by Dōrsoh Maadoh, whose father was in love with Byskoh, Byskoh found out about it and informed Opol, but had him promise that the boy's life would be spared. In a fit of rage Opol killed Dōrsoh, which made Byskoh equally mad. She decided to kill Opol for breaking his promise, but the assassination attempt failed when the archer missed and killed a guard instead. He was then swiftly mauled down, thereby concealing Byskoh's plot. | + | When Opol's rule was challenged by [[Maadoh_family|Dōrsoh Maadoh]], whose father was in love with Byskoh, Byskoh found out about it and informed Opol, but had him promise that the boy's life would be spared.

| She then made several more attempts at killing Opol, after which she began to plot a coup with her lover, Ormyn Gos, an influential Jeen of Opol's army. After a campaign against the [[Oaleed]] in 1997, Ormyn Gos was made Jeenor, head of the army. Through his influence, Byskoh began building up support for her claim to power. In 1801 she and Ormyn were able to receive the support of almost half of Opol's army. Deciding that this is enough and that most others would follow, they attacked the palace, but at the last minute several Jeens reneged on their support and stayed out. The attack failed and Ormyn Gos fled Gaskal with his troops, while Byskoh was captured. | | She then made several more attempts at killing Opol, after which she began to plot a coup with her lover, Ormyn Gos, an influential Jeen of Opol's army.
