Tiseonr ([tʏsøɳ]), known also as Tiseonr The Great, Archheretic Tiseonr, and Tuiysoern, was the 1st Imam of the Qoeul-bo Hrnad, either creating the organization from the unification of a number of Mn'krapanti armies, or being appointed by the apostle Modhes Nal, depending on the account.

Early Life

Tiseonr was a common name in the late 1st century, and as such it is difficult to know which, if any, records are refering to him as opposed to anyone else. The most likely candidate is thought to Tiseonr Rugjeboth, born 93.17.45 in Mnchoris. Rugjeboth was, as most candidates for Tiseonr's identity, a low ranking commander in the newly formed Modhes Millitaria, who was subject to an official reprimand for heresy in 110.04.23, which is how he is known to exist. According to the reprimand, Rugjeboth was sent into the city of Dis'hwulledh to crush a Mn'krapanti revolt, only to side with the revolt and begin supressing the counterrevolt. It could not be determined that this was an act of heresy, as Rugjeboth claimed that he was simply trying to establish order, and that the Mn'krapanti were complying whilst the Modhes were not, and as such he was merely heavily demoted. An undated addendum to the reprimand states that he was subsequently releaved of duty under suspicion of being a secret Mn'krapanti, suspicions that were then proven true when he and his former subordinates turned traitor and became a Hrnad.

Other popular candidates for Tiseonr's identity are Tiseonr Marrdu, a higher ranking Millitarian who also became a Mn'krapanti, and Ogeim-Tahgd Tiseonr, a Mn'krapanti religious leader attested heavily prior to the founding of the Qoeul-bo Hrnad.

Qoeul-bo Account

According to Qoeul-bo oral tradition, such as found in the Imamry Circle, Tiseonr was once a devout follower of Modhes Ywl, said erroniously to have lived during and fought in the Modhesian Conquests. Upon The Great Self-Flaying, Tiseonr was the personal guard of Modhes Nal, who fled Bel-Qahhardh with the loyal Mn'krapanti. Guerrilla fighting is said to have occured throughout the rest of the conquests, and on for several years, until Nal decided to enter Major Occultation, exiting the fabric of the world, to one day return and usher in the next Messiah. Before leaving, he appointed Tiseonr, his most loyal follower, to continue in his sted as the Imam.

Modhes Account

The Modhes contend that the Mn'krapanti began their revolt upon the moment of Modhes Ywl's Flaying, and that Tiseonr's rise was merely the begining of organized leadership among them.

Historical Evidence

The Tiseonri Hrnad was just one of many Mn'krapanti Hrnads active in the early 2nd century, and not even the largest in Mnchoris at the time of its founding. The Tisonri Hrnad however grew dramatically in size after moving west, following with many others to the call of the prophet Eomku'r in Hvijil. While the sourthwest and southeast were saturated with large Hrnads, but the southern coast was far less organized, and for whatever reason it was the Tiseonri who gained the most in membership while travelling through.

Qoeul-bo Hrnad

Founding

Despite the Qoeul-bo's own founding myth claiming otherwise, it is likely that the Qoeul-bo Hrnad began not as a continuation of a pre-existing unified force but rather as a unification of many smaller Hrnads. Eomku'r, a prominant Mn'krapanti prophet, called in 122.13.06 for such a unified force to emerge and proclaimed it would first rise in Hvijil, which at the time was a hub of Mn'krapanti activity. The details of the meeting are lost to history, but what is certain is that Tiseonr emerged as the sole leader of the Qoeul-bo, with the other leaders of the other Hrnads acting as his Emirs and Knights. Tiseonr chose for himself the title of Ymahm, an old royal title native to the region.
