Sopoh Dolysoh /'sɑpə dɑ'liːsə/ was a Dawn settler and the founder of Toor. He claimed to have reached "the edge of the world" - the northernmost point of Tarnaria - first. He then used that achievement as a justification for his rule. Aided by a man known as Bonten, Sopoh founded a settlement called Peelee at the foot of Gaaj-Mas. Eventually, the settlement was moved away from the mountain after multiple avalanches made it clear that the location was not safe.

Sopoh wanted to pass on the rule to Bonten's son, but was instead murdered by his own son, Opol.

Osdol's version

Osdol's version is a highly mythologized version which is part of the Stron Ydoh Rol (Song of the Edge of the World). He talks about how Sopoh and his right hand Bonten led their people to Gaaj-Mas, which is "the Seat of Mankind", and established what is a "paradise and home to any person, the true Mamkoon".

The song then goes on to talk about the great structures that Sopoh and Bonten had build and how Sopoh left to die on Gaaj-Mas, "to pass on his powers to the Seat of Mankind and to infuse it with his personality".

"His Eternal Companion watches over him. And his body marks the Edge of the World".

Stron Ydoh Rol is part of the north-eastern tradition, also known as the Great Lore, and has been passed on from generation to generation until the middle of the second revolution. From there on, only parts of the Great Lore survive, including Stron Ydoh Rol.

Ludoh's version

For instance, she does say that Sopoh was succeeded by his son and that Bonten became "estranged from the blessed family".
