Opol is conspicuously not mentioned in the [[Swift Hen]]. Instead, Byskoh is named as the successor to Sopoh, although she is not considered as part of the [[Mōroh|True Lineage]].

 Opol's biggest ambition was to expand Toor to the west and subjugate [[Laeooy Coast]]. Preparation for the Laeooy campaign lasted for several years, but Opol's plans were thwarted by the [[Negy]].
-By this time the Negy became the biggest threat to the Dolysoh dynasty, with [[Oskodon]], a [[superhero warrior]] known as the Negy King, expanding his territory beyond Dol. Reacting to this, Opol began a campaign in 1805 [[FR]] that lasted for two years. However, Oskodon and his forces were able to not only fight back, but also lay claim to Palas. In a famous battle at Olonoh, Oskodon's army waited for Opol far away from the mountain. This made Opol believe that since there are no mountains or boulders nearby, it is safe to approach. However, the enemy's army suddenly separated in two, revealing that they were stood on an enormous flat stone that Oskodon then hurled at Opol's troops, killing thousands of soldiers and winning the battle.

 For the next three years the conflict stalled, but resumed in full force at the end of 1810, this time leading to the displacement of Negy to the south of Dol.

 In spite of both having a bad temper, they miraculously managed to rebuild their relationship and Byskoh returned to the gole's side. She then helped Opol plan and execute the hunt for Ormyn's forces. Ormyn was defeated and killed in 1805 during the encounter at Gaajmas. Since then Byskoh always accompanied Opol on all the campaigns and their partnership and close friendship lasted until Opol's death in 1815.

 Opol's rule began to be challenged starting the first assassination attempt in 1785. The coup was perpetrated by the young [[Tarnarian_military_ranks|Jeen]] Dōrsoh Maadoh, whose father Byd Maadoh was in love with Byskoh and wanted revenge for losing any chances with her. Byskoh, however, found out about the plan and informed Opol, who then laid a trap for the young Dōrsoh. Byskoh asked for the boy to be spared, which Opol promised. But then when he saw Dōrsoh, Dōrsoh spit in Opol's face, Opol got mad and then he and his guards beat him to death.
-He then sent the head of Dōrsoh to Byd and vowed to murder all Maadohs. The Maadoh family was a fairly wealthy family of warriors, having been part of the Dolysoh forces from the very start. They fled Gaskal, with a number of supporters leaving with them. [[Maja Maadoh]], Byd's daughter, vowed to avenge her brother's death. In 1794 [[FR]], when Gōnoh Dolysoh came of age, Maja traveled to Gaskal and shot him with an arrow as revenge for Dorsoh.

 This also put a wedge between Opol and Byskoh. Mad at her husband for breaking his promise, Byskoh began plotting an assassination herself. According to [[Ludoh]], she seduced an archer and had him shoot at Opol, but the archer missed and hit a guard instead. The archer was immediately mauled down, thus taking his motivation to his grave and concealing Byskoh's involvement.
-Several more assassination attempts followed, some orchestrated by Byskoh, some by other families, mostly led by influential Jeens. One notable challenge to Opol's power came from the Chogoskoh family, who appealed to a religious interpretation, making a claim that Mod Chogoskoh, a former Jeenor of Dolysoh's forces back in Sopoh's days, was the one who was technically the first to reach Gaajmas. Due to the fact that the challenge was made in a peaceful manner and that the Chogoskoh family was one of the most powerful clans alongside Dolysohs themselves, Opol was not in a position to physically eliminate any of them. He was thus forced to resolve the conflict by making Beejetoh Chogoskoh the [[Murdoh]] of Gaskal. This move basically propelled Chogoskohs into political power and the were Dolysohs rivals for several generations after that.

 In 1801, Byskoh and her lover, [[Ormyn Gos]], who at the time was Jeenor of Opol's army, staged a coup against Opol. They had the support of half the army and attacked Opol's 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.
