Ooran rank immediately below royalty and enjoy a higher social status than the rest of the classes. An Oora can be appointed to virtually any position. For instance, although a Jeenor is a position usually attained through an army career, any Oora can temporarily or permanently be appointed as [[Jeenor]] on the order of a King or a Murdoh.
