King Govegz I Rona (15th June 1278 - 23rd May 1354, Native Name: govezj rona) was Konnor of Ronyg from 1294 to 1343, High Chief of the Norjihanis from 1305 to 1306, and King of All Norjihanis from 1305 until his death in 1343. Often known simply as Govegz Rona (as opposed to the later Govegz II), or as Govegz Takkan, or Govegz the Leper, his reign saw the creation of the first real Norjihani state and the creation of Szezkia alongside the Szezk Genocide in which around 250,000 people were killed. He is in this arguably one of the most influential figures in South Baredinan history.
He received the epithet Takkan ("He who carries out Tan's will") from Grand Servant Gestan II following the death of Anlar IV. He was described by Anlar, whom he famously quarrelled with, as "stubborn, quick to anger and infinitely willful." He was, however, also viewed as a "champion of Tan and of Norjihan, quick-thinking and well versed in warcraft and speech". During his later life, however, opinion of him deteriorated due to his leprosy which it appears he contracted in the 1320s and which, alongside bouts of madness, led to strong factionalism between groups supporting his two sons, Mahiraz and Thuhan; he was, however, able to play them against each other until he finally succumbed to his illness in 1343.
Govegz spent much of his early career attempting to become High Chief of Norjihan, after originally consolidating his position of Konnor of Ronyg, a title he gained when he was 16 due to his father Esullaz IV's death in a riding accident. His main political opponents were the Seqki family of Szezkia who via marriage and bribery had built up a large support base to support a bid to the High Chiefdom, a position to which Govegz also inspired. The conflict with the Seqki family led to Govegz's Coup of 1305, an event which led to the creation of the first Norjihani state, but also to the Szezk Genocide. Govegz also initiated a series of financial and legal reforms, based on various Ekuosian models, and also attempted to control the church, although this led to the Holy Rebellion of 1339.
Govegz helped lay the foundations of the modern Norjihani nation-state, but his actions also brought centuries of low-lying tensions out into the open and severed any goodwill between Baredans and Xhovians more generally, leading to many of the later events in South Baredinan history. Within Norjihan he centralised power, promoting family members and close friends and reining in the powers of the northern barons, along with bringing in a slate of changes which strengthened Norjihan's economy and trading power within the Argeyaz. However, his Leprosy left him and Norjihan weak in his later years, alongside his fits of madness.
