When it did get noticed, Qep city had broken off its ties to the Oordars as well. It was time for [[Kren the Younger]], head of the Oordar clan, to decide how to proceed. Instead of suggesting a campaign, Nilma argued in favor of a diplomatic solution. Understanding the power dynamics in Qep, Nilma reached out to Taley and suggested to marry one of his daughters. This not only legitimized Taley's rule, which was initially based on a lie, but it also made his standing more important than that of Ulan Moree's court, which at the time was more brazen and probably a stronger political force in the region. | When it did get noticed, Qep city had broken off its ties to the Oordars as well.
