Jumpelee-Joleeloh rivalry was a several-generations rivalry between the Jumpelee and Joleeloh clans. Both families were very influential in Koalderood, which was home to the Hadeer people.

The rivalry resulted in many deaths, with the Jumpelee clan emerging as the ruling house of the Hadeer and forcing the Joleelohs to leave Koalderood. However, the daughter of Fre Joleeloh, Olboloh Joleeloh, became a famous singer of lore. She then used her fame and influence to attain a position of a seer in Meerō Dolysoh's court and persuaded him to go on a conquest against the Hadeer. The conquest was difficult and Meerō's forces suffered heavy losses, but they were ultimately successful and ended the dominance of Hadeers in the region, as well as killing most of the Jumpelee family members. Those that survived were not able to regain power and faded into obscurity.

Olboloh Joleeloh and her young son died just a year later, poisoned by Gorōntoh Kōtele, another seer to Meerō who was jealous of Olboloh's fame and influence on the gole.
