Toarlameek family

Toarlameek family was a noble and wealthy family who lived in Qep. They became known for their boldness and conartistry. Originally from Qep city, Toarlameeks were forced to flee to Lora when Maksag Oordar invaded Qep, losing all of their wealth. In Lora they became the ruling family through fabricating documents. Later expanding their rule to Qep city, Toarlameeks restored their wealth and standing, as well as influence in Qep as Gorona married Nilma Oordar and eventually became the Murdoh of Mantar.

Their rule came to an end when Nilma Oordar invaded Qep and deposed Toarlameeks from the Murdon Circle.

Pronunciation

The standard pronunciation in hureed would be /'twɑrlɑmiː/, but the actual pronunciation tended to be /'tworlɑmiː/. The latter also reflects the Toarlameek underbukk, a custom family dialect that was quite sophisticated.

In fact, Nilma Oordar took great care to go through the morotōsha ritual of learning and presenting his knowledge of the family language, and impressed the Toarlameeks so much that it is this acceptance into the family that allowed him to not only survive Kren the Younger's plot, but also continue traveling and influencing Qep's and Mantar's politics, which would have been impossible without the vast network and support of the Toarlameeks.

Demise

Toarlameeks lost power after the Angry King's second invasion of Qep. Mylda was removed from the Murdon Circle, although not from the position of Murdoh: Nilma reformed the Murdon Circle to exclude individual city states and instead had Lora's court represent both Qep city and Lora. Mylda died in 1604 SR in Qep city and was succeeded by Gorōn Goreek. Dyfy, who was formally the Murdoh of Lora, left the city and died several years later in a forest camp. She was succeeded by Deeras Tole.

The mentions of Toarlameeks abruptly end. Mylda had two sons, Keeva and Gorōn (unrelated to the aforementioned Gorōn Goreek). The families of Symfōna and Voara, Mylda's siblings, lived in Qep city. Voara, Mylda's brother, was a prominent landlord during her reign, probably being in charge of the family's fortune, but had sold most of his property in the period between 1597-1598 SR. Some have speculated that Nilma's first invasion of Qep made Toarlameeks worried about losing their wealth again and they decided to move it out of Qep city, which continued to be in the middle of political turmoil. Voara's trail is lost after 1598 and there is no mention of neither him, nor any other Toarlameek during the Angry King's second invasion or after it. It is possible that the family had relocated to another city and that Mylda was the only one left.
