Meerō's reign started during the campaign against the [[Negy]] and he was respected as the son of a great father. However, after the passing of Opol in 1815 [[FR]] and the passing of Byskoh in 1816 just mere months later, Meerō experienced a breakdown from which he never truly recovered. He became moody and indecisive, and short bursts of activity would be followed by long bouts of depression.

Nevertheless, Forod attempted to orchestrate and basically lead the third campaign. During the preparation for the campaign in 1833 [[FR]] two influential Ienana named [[Olboloh Joleeloh]] and [[Gorōntoh Kōtele]] were able to get Meerō's attention through disseminating what many believed to be important prophecies. Both Ienana were [[singer of lore|singers of lore]] and their arrival at Gaskal became an important event of the summer of 1833.

They were then able to upset Meerō's trust in Forod's judgement and tried getting him executed. This, however, had not worked and the gole had him imprisoned and then embarked on a third campaign against the peoples of the Laeooy Coast. With Olboloh and Gorōntoh at his side, Meerō led the army past Troun to [[Koalderood]], where according to Olboloh's prophecy was supposed to be the next Laeooy Coast gole. At the time Koalderood was populated by the people known as [[Hadeer]]. Their ruling clan, the [[Jumpelee-Joleeloh rivalry|Jumpelee clan]], had offended Olboloh's family, although this was unknown to Meerō.

Meerō's army began ransacking Hadeer settlements, when suddenly confronted by a [[superhero warrior]] [[Damluk]]. Damluk was seen hitting the ground with his fist, which caused a powerful earthquake, forcing soldiers and horses off their feet. In the midst of the confusion the Hadeer attacked, pouring into the valley, archers and mounted warriors with long spears "ushering a rain of arrows and destruction". Suffering losses, Meerō was forced to fall back.

It is at this time that Meerō was informed that the Hadeer stronghold is on the other side of Lake Marood, ruled by the Jumpelee clan, and that the Hadeer command a much larger territory and potentially a much larger army than previously thought. Meerō became overrun with his usual indecision and was considering turning back home, when Olboloh and Gorōntoh once again convinced him that he should attack immediately.

Meerō again gave in to the prophets' advice and led his troops around Lake Marood. The Hadeer stronghold turned out to be a fortress with relatively low walls, but extremely wide and with a cell-like structure, with each cell being a small fortress in of itself, surrounded by sturdy walls and with four towers in the corners.

The Hadeer stronghold turned out to be a fortress with relatively low walls, but extremely wide and with a cell-like structure, with each cell being a small fortress in of itself, surrounded by sturdy walls and with four towers in the corners. However, the toorians knew how to construct siege engines, something that was not taken into account by the Hadeer. When the engines were constructed, Meerō's forces quickly defeated the fortress. Most members of the Jumpelee clan were executed, thus ending the [[Jumpelee-Joleeloh rivalry|generations-long rivalry]] in Joleelohs favor.
