'''Goven Bylyk''' was a [[Mōrtoh]] elder who was the teacher and mentor of [[Beejetoh Dolysoh]]. In 1848 [[FR]] when [[Meerō Dolysoh|Meerō]] had died, he convinced Beejetoh to give up her claim to the throne to [[Mosk-Sopoh Dolysoh|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.
