Tuvia Ionecas

Lord Tuvia Ionecas was an Enyrian general during Kivthern's conquest of Arthien. He led several raids in Vinghjel between 1125 3E and 1131 3E. He was defeated by Kivthern at the Battle of Bopros.

Tuvia was born around 1070 or 1080 in the Arthien capital of Haruna. He joined the military at a young age. Having spendt most of his lifetime in the military, he was renowned in Arthien for his experience.

Fearing capture, he escaped Arthien after the major defeat at Bopros. Little is known of his life between 1134 and 1140. According to Thymvel, he initially fled towards Bavel-He, but had to turn north to avoid capture by a team of Enyrian scouts who were sent to capture him. In 1136, he settled in Arthcastle under the name Vehelsty Pelen. There, he told the locals that he was an Enyrian warrior who deserted from the army upon "witnessing the superiority of the Vinghjel army".

Tuvia's last days in Arthcastle were well-documented by historian Thryvi Hafgard. According to him, Tuvia frequently recounted his escape from Arthien to the children in Arthcastle. Eventually becoming a respected member of Arthcastle, Tuvia was offered to be a candidate for patriarch of the Church of Arthcastle, however had to refuse because of poor health. He died in 1141 3E and was buried in the tomb of the Grand Temple of Arthcastle. The stories Tuvia told to Thryvi Hafgard were compiled by him in 1143 under the name Pagathi galn Vehelsty Pelen, tol Enyrunn tryeghan, yleminn danthir, divn trynmigen. His true identity was discovered in 1623 3E, and his body was exhumed in 1634 3E and moved to the Arthenian Conquest Memorial in Thyrgrin, where it remains to this day.
