'''Peelee''' /piː'liː/ was the first major city of [[Toor]] built by [[Sopoh Dolysoh]]. The construction of the royal palace was led by [[Bonten]], Sopoh's right-hand man. It was located at the foot of the [[Gaajmas]] mountain range.
Peelee was already widely known as the northern center within merely a decade of its founding, with its twin-towered palace becoming the symbol of the new kingdom. By 1778, however, Peelee experienced two avalanches, with the second one burying a lot of the city, resulting in the famous painting, showing two palace towers sticking out of the snow. This was a huge embarrassment for Sopoh, as it became clear that Peelee's location must be changed. This was awkward for two reasons: state missionaries promoted Peelee as the location where one is more likely to lead a righteous life, and Sopoh was depicted as the visionary. Thus, admitting that the location of the city was a mistake would seriously undermine Sopoh's narrative, a narrative that he spent two decades reinforcing.
Due to this and other reasons, Sopoh was murdered by his son [[Opol Dolysoh|Opol]] and Peelee was abandoned. Bonten ended up building the city of [[Gaskal]] slightly father away from Gaajmas, and served as its [[Murdoh]] under Opol's rule.
Peelee is mentioned in the [[Great Lore]], in the Stron Ydoh Rol (Song of the Edge of the World).
