It is at this time that Meerō was informed that the Hadeer stronghold is on the other side of Lake Marood, ruled by the Jumpelee clan, and that the Hadeer command a much larger territory and potentially a much larger army than previously thought. Meerō became overrun with his usual indecision and was considering turning back home, when Olboloh and Gorōntoh once again convinced him that he should attack immediately.

Meerō again gave in to the prophets' advice and led his troops around Lake Marood. The Hadeer stronghold turned out to be a fortress with relatively low walls, but extremely wide and with a cell-like structure, with each cell being a small fortress in of itself, surrounded by sturdy walls and with four towers in the corners. However, the toorians knew how to construct siege engines, something that was not taken into account by the Hadeer. When the engines were constructed, Meerō's forces quickly defeated the fortress. Most members of the Jumpelee clan were executed, thus ending the [[Jumpelee-Joleeloh rivalry|generations-long rivalry]] in Joleelohs favor.

Meerō then led his army back across Hareed territory, locating the city of Brum. The city closed its gates and Meerō set up siege and was able to enter the city a month later. The city was sacked, then burned down. The city of Gor was more agreeable towards the toorians and its nobility struck a deal with Toor. Meerō, however, took most of the population of the city and resettled it to various regions, including gifting some of them as slaves to his generals.
