'''Olboloh Joleeloh''' /ɑl'bɑlə dʒɑ'liːlə/ (1799-1836 [[FR]]) was a famous [[singer of lore]] and later a seer to [[Meerō Dolysoh]]. 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 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 a singer of lore and quickly became famous throughout northern Tarnaria. She was known as a very accurate performer of the [[Great Lore]] in the tradition of [[Osdol]]. Olboloh was said to have had an air of authority about her, and people tended to look up to her and ask her for advice. Her fame brought her significant religious power and also wealth. She traveled with a whole group of servants and had a private militia.

Writes [[Ludoh]]:
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.

[[Porteek]] writes a great deal about Olboloh. He contends that her opportunistic decision to try to persuade Meerō to campaign against the Hadeer had 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.
