Tavish III, the nephew of the regent Duke Luschan of the House of Rholan, became the king of Keoland in 414 CY after the death of the regent.[4] Tavish III renewed the aggressive policies that had been put on pause while Duke Luschan held the throne.
Tavish III hastened the end of Keoish influence in Veluna with the start of the Small (or Short) War[5] with Furyondy in 438 CY. Keoland influence north of Gran March ended as the Knights of the Hart captured Bissel before Tavish III could reinforce his northern border. Furyondian armies advanced on Thornward near the Fals River Gap and then all the way across the March of Bissel south to Hookhill.[4]
In the south, Tavish III's younger brother and heir to Gradsul disappeared, surrounded with rumors of foul play. The Siege of Westkeep in 453 CY was an attempt by Tavish III to reclaim the southern regions, but ended with his death fighting against the local insurgents. [4] Tavish III's surviving son, Tavish IV was immediately crowned on the battlefield.
