Reemoh Dedlos (murdered in 1837 FR) was a high noble and a pōntim under Meerō Dolysoh, who served as the principal of the Chamber of War in the Court of Ooron.

The Dedlos family was one of the wealthiest in the realm and was one the oldest noble families in Gaskal. Dedlos were beside Sopoh Dolysoh, the founder of the Dolysoh dynasty and the state of Toor itself, when he reached Ydoh Rol. They also served his son Opol and later Meerō, and provided significant military and financial support to all of the campaigns.

Reemoh disappeared after a posh dinner organized at his mansion where he spoke of a trip to Kees. Later investigation could not find evidence that he had never left his mansion. Alongside him three of his close servants had also vanished. The body of one of them was later found in the Molosoh river with sword wounds.

Maan Lon, a life-long servant of Reemoh Dedlos, approached Uroh Lorkyn regarding the disappearance of his master. Lorkyn refused to help at first, but changed his mind when Jeenor Rostoh was murdered, suspecting conspiracy. Lorkyn's extensive and secretive investigation revealed the involvement of high nobles Brone Forod and Gorōntoh Kōtele in this and other high profile murders. Reemoh's body was never found, probably thrown out of the window of his bedroom into the river.

Due to the high standing of the perpetrators, Lorkyn was not able to act on his knowledge (although he was at some point able to use his knowledge to prevent the murder of an oora). Therefore, as soon as foul play was discovered, the Dedlos family suspected the two other influential families in Gaskal, the Lōblyns and the Peetos. With the permission of the gole, the Dedlos started a private war with the Lōblyns and attacked their family estate, which was a large fortress in Kees. However, the attack was unsuccessful and the Lōblyns were not only able to defeat Dedlos forces, but also went to Gaskal and occupied several of the properties, belonging to the Dedlos. Gole Meerō Dolysoh was forced to acknowledge the defeat of the Dedlos family and hand over former Dedlos property to the Lōblyns.

The head of the family was the famed warrior Meerō Lōblyn, who himself was the son of Hrondeer, the superhero warrior. Based on the revised amount of property owned, which now amounted to almost a full pōnta, Meerō Lōblyn was granted the title of Grand Veraa and became the principle in the Chamber of War, replacing Reemoh.
