'''Taley Toarlameek''' /'tæliː 'tworlɑmiː/ was the younger brother of [[Oorfan Toarlameek]] and became head of the [[Toarlameek family]] after Oorfan's death during the siege of [[Lora]]. Taley assumed the position of the Murdoh of Lora after the death of [[oordar clan|Oordar-installed]] [[Heemin]] by fabricating documents from [[Maksag Oordar|Maksag]], while sending out reports and taxes to [[Tonaran]] under Heemin's name. Taley's rule was legitimized when [[Nilma Oordar]] established closer ties between [[Mantar]] and [[Qep]] in 1545 SR. Taley ended up serving as Murdoh up until his death in 1557 [[SR]].

Toarlameeks were originally from [[Qep city]], but fled to Lora when Maksag invaded the country, correctly believing Lora to be safer. After Lora was conquered by Maksag in 1515, Toarlameeks lost most of their wealth, but were spared by Maksag along with several of other noble households. The reigns of the city were given to one of Maksag's Jeens, Heemin.

Over the next decade, as the city was rebuilt, Toarlameeks were able to retain their privileged status, but not wealth. When Heemin died from an illness, Taley took advantage of that and in early 1528 traveled to Mantar as Lora's representative to take part in the victory celebrations of Oordar's overtake of Mantar.

During the campaign against [[Darfe Goldoor|Goldoor]], Taley led his army to Delavire, but returned to Lora before the campaign started, as he was pretty old at the time.

Taley, an unimposing personality, turned out to be one of the most influential politicians of the era, upending the military rule, imposed on the region by Maksag Oordar, and then using the looming independence of the region as leverage against [[Mantar]].
