'''Oaleed''' /'wɑliː/ are a people in northern [[Tarnaria]] who primarily lived in the area around [[Mantar]]. They began to expand to the north, entering into conflict with Deeras and then [[Toor]], until being driven south of Mantar by [[King Tōrmoh]] in the 1st century of the [[Dantrian calendar|second revolution]]. Throughout the next two centuries, the Oaleed lost even more territory, eventually founding the city-state of Mantar and settling there.
Today the Oaleed are one of the peoples of [[Mantareia]].
== Etymology ==
''Oaleed'' is a [[Bukk|Asdoh]] word that means "free people", although it might also be understood to mean "people free of any duty", which could be a pejorative. The Oaleed call themselves ''Tarsad'', a word in old [[Bukk|Hureed]] which means "the chosen ones".
== Religion ==
Oaleed are [[Xaewoon#Xaewoon_Blue|Xaewoon Blue]] followers, but have since the ancient times developed their own mythology, centered around Mantar, the hill. Considered to be a sacred place, the early Oaleed believed that Mantar is populated by giant gods and goddesses. The pantheon of Oaleed deities is called "Stron Hoorhoo" (the Song of Light).
