Hohned /'hɑnɛd/ was a military center and fortress of Toor. It was established in the 19th century and became the centerpiece of Toor's control of Laeooy Coast and the mines in what today is known as Commonground. It was destroyed by the Commonground rebels led by Keetoh and Gened in 72 SR. At the time of its destruction it was the largest and wealthiest city in the whole of Tarnaria, affectionately nicknamed "Gole's Treasure Chest".
The fall of Hohned marks the beginning of the Chaos wars, as the power balance in the region shifted away from the Tōrmoh dynasty.
Establishment
After several generations of insurrections, the Dolysoh dynasty managed to defend their rule, but wanted to put an end to constant challenges to their family's status as monarchs.
Since almost always the army would be involved, which thus made every Jeen (general), let alone Jeenor (head of army), a possible contender to the throne, Troh Dolysoh, who was gole of Toor at the time, moved the military headquarters out of Chusoh into a separate fortress, Hohned. Hohned was built across the desert Kōnzoh, which put significant distance between Chusoh and the army, making it less easy to deploy troops to the palace. Chusoh, secured by the mountains and the desert, did not necessarily require a huge military presence in the city.
In addition to moving the army to Hohned, Troh Dolysoh reformed the army by comprising it out of individual regiments, each of each would belong to an Uroh in Chusoh, thus decentralizing control of the armed forces and making it unlikely for a single person to overtake the army. He also instituted Goler Poton (the Royal Guard) and the position of Gorōloh, commander of said Royal Guard. Both the Gorōloh and Goler Poton were to be completely loyal to the Gole, which was ensured by their elite social status, as well as a promotion of the culture of deep loyalty and honor among its ranks, making Goler Poton one of the most prestigious ways to serve the monarch. This special position of Goler Poton is largely preserved to this day.
Governance
Hohned was run by a Murdoh, most notable of them being Murdoh Blosoh and Murdoh Delon.
Blosoh was the Murdoh when the Dolysoh dynasty subjugated Laeooy Coast in 1849 FR, which marked the beginning of the golden era of Toor. Blosoh became even more famous when he killed the superhero warrior Paosoa with an arrow.
Delon was the Murdoh during the Dolysoh Standoff, a brief war between Teejody and Modosoh Dolysoh. He was initially on the side of the Gole, but eventually became convinced that Teejody is going to be the winner and switched sides. Eventually, he switched sides again and managed to retain his position as Murdoh of Hohned after the conflict.
