Saint Nikolai of Lipa, often styled as Nikolai the Great, Nikolai IV and Nikolas Khan in Zalykia was the eldest son of Nikolai of the Nimgan who ruled as Duke of the Narod from his coronation in 1277 to his death and Khan of Zalykia from 1317 to his death. Known mostly for his defense of Nimganopol in 1286 that halted the Zalyk advance into the duchy and turned the tide of the war, and also for unifying the two states into one when he ascended to the throne of the Khanate after the death of Ayuga Khan, he is regarded as one of Narod's - and by extension Narozalica's - greatest ever leaders.
