He was also the founder of the religion of [[Gods of Mercy]], author of its canonical texts, as well as an important part of the theology. | + | Tavol /tʌ'vɔːl/ ([[bukk|bukkean]]: Tovōl) (c. 1915-1947 [[dantrian_calendar|SR]]) was the ruler of Loodon and is considered to be the true founder of the state, having expanded it from a city-state to a country that stretched from the ruins of [[Nator]] to [[Tarnaria]].

| It turned out that the assassins had developed something akin to a religious cult, worshiping what they called the Gods of Mercy and considering themselves to be fulfilling the will of said gods. Tavol became a devotee of the cult, but as he was not just a mere assassin, but the brother of the ruler of Tlax, he began to be treated as a seer by other assassins, which gave him the opportunity to shape the cult. When Vantral ordered the murder of a wealthy merchant by the name of Dirdan Miln, it turned out that Tavol was in a relationship with her daughter. He asked Vantral to forgo the killing, but Vantral refused and pressed him to proceed. When Tavol pleaded with him again, Vantral dismissed Tavol from the position of the chief of assassins, assumed the role and went through with the murder of Dirdan himself. Tavol then persuaded the assassins that Vantral went against the will of the Gods of Mercy and they retaliated by murdering Vantral. | It turned out that the assassins had developed something akin to a religious cult, worshiping what they called the Gods of Mercy and considering themselves to be fulfilling the will of said gods.

| Tavol did not immediately assume the position of ruler, as his motivation for killing Vantral was more of a personal nature, but it soon became clear that Vantral's demise was taken by many of Vantral's enemies and underlings as a sign that they no longer owe Tlax anything. This prompted Tavol to take power and begin a series of local raids to establish himself as the ruthless ruler that Vantral had been, and as he was not afraid to use the full force of tlaxian forces, he quickly abandoned the complicated tactics of his deceased older brother and turned to simple expansion. | Tavol did not immediately assume the position of ruler, as his motivation for killing Vantral was more of a personal nature, but it soon became clear that Vantral's demise was taken by many of Vantral's enemies and underlings as a sign that they no longer owe Tlax anything.

| News about Line's betrayal swept the Overpol Expanse and created an atmosphere of despair, leading most cities submitting to Tavol and the Overpol Expanse effectively ceasing to exist. The fortified city of Noral was the only major city which ignored Tavol's claim to power, though it was not part of the Overpol Expanse to begin with. | News about Line's betrayal swept the Overpol Expanse and created an atmosphere of despair, leading most cities submitting to Tavol and the Overpol Expanse effectively ceasing to exist.

| - | In 1941 SR Tavol and Line led a campaign to Noral. In spite of a difficult siege, they were able to defeat Noral's army, and then catured city's governor [[Tol Treen]], who was a close friend to Earmont Overpol. The fortress of Noral was left in ruins and was rebuilt only a century later. | + | In 1941 SR Tavol and Line led a campaign to Noral.

| This turned out to be the last of Tavol's military campaign. Proclaiming himself as the greatest conqueror in history, he began exhibiting erratic behavior of a person, suddenly overwhelmed by success, power and wealth. He also began to focus heavily on establishing the religion of Gods of Mercy. | This turned out to be the last of Tavol's military campaign.
