'''Olboloh Joleeloh''' /ɑl'bɑlə dʒɑ'liːlə/ (1799-1836 [[FR]]) was a famous [[singer of lore]] and later a seer to [[Meerō Dolysoh]], Gole of [[Toor]]. Together with another singer [[Gorōntoh Kōtele]], she arrived to [[Gaskal]] in 1833 [[FR]] and through her influence was able to pass on prophecies to the Gole, leading him to imprison his close advisor [[Brone Forod]] and install Olboloh and Gorōntoh as advisors instead.
    
Olboloh's subsequent influence on the history of [[Tarnaria]] was one of the stories that prompted [[Porteek]] to give his historical manuscript the name "The Movers of Previous Generations". He wrote: "I am endlessly fascinated by how thousands of men grind, leaving no marks on history, and just a single individual can [[Dantrian calendar|turn time]]."

Olboloh was intimidating in her beauty and in her command of the Great Lore. When she spoke, people became silent. When she sang, time would turn.

Hearing that the gole is preparing for a new conquest to the west, Olboloh decided to use her influence to enact revenge on the Jumpelees. She created a prophecy that the next Laeooy Coast gole is at Koalderood and killing him would prevent a civilization that would challenge [[Toor|Toor's]] hold on the Seat of Mankind, [[Gaajmas]]. She then sent a messenger to the gole. Meerō agreed to see her and was impressed by her knowledge of the Great Lore, as well as by the depth of her prophecy. Meerō's advisor, [[Brone Forod]], was unimpressed. But Olboloh managed to convince the gole that Forod is incompetent and argued for his execution. Meerō did not execute Forod, but did imprison him and installed Olboloh and Gorōntoh as his advisors and seers. He then led his army to Koalderood.

[[Porteek]] writes a great deal about Olboloh. He contends that her opportunistic decision to try to persuade Meerō to campaign against the Hadeer has most probably changed history, as the Hadeer were very likely to become a dominant power in the region in just several years and become a force that would make Toor's dominance of the Laeooy Coast unlikely.
