Tapio Riikonen "Kuningas Teivas, Pirkkalan valtias : nelinäytöksinen näytelmä" by Kaarle Halme is a four-act play written in the early 20th century. Set in a mythic Finland, it follows the Pirkkala ruler Teivas, his Halikko-born consort Pyynikki, Teivas’s son Lemma, and the Lapp leaders Kyrö and Inku as trade, tribute, and power collide. The drama centers on political intrigue, ethnic tensions, vengeance, and a dangerous attraction that threatens the fragile balance of power. The opening of the play unfolds in Teivas’s hall, where the Lapp woman Inku laments her daughter’s ruin and conspires with the Lapp chief Kyrö: they speak of smuggling, burning the Pohjankangas as cover, and Halikko’s brewing revolt against Pirkkala. Pyynikki enters withdrawn, bonds warily with Inku, and brightens when Lemma arrives; their mutual passion flares and they plan to flee after news that Pyynikki’s father Hahma has died, but Teivas’s sudden return halts them. Teivas interrogates Kyrö and reveals Hahma was killed by a Nokian-marked arrow from Kyrö’s quiver, ordering him imprisoned, while Pyynikki coolly asks leave to attend the funeral with Lemma as escort; Teivas resists, intent on asserting marital rights first. At the start of the next scenes, Inku helps Kyrö slip out through a secret passage, Pyynikki wavers between escape and resolve, and Teivas and Lemma face a tightening siege: Halikko men across the water, Ulve’s dominance at Kokemäki, and Lapp tribes on the move, leaving Pirkkala in mounting peril.
