Uroh Maadoh was a Toorian noble from Gaskal and a formal negotiator with Deeras during the reigns of Meerō and then Mosk-Sopoh Dolysohs.

Unrelated to the Maadoh_family, his counterpart in Deeras was the father of the family, Faan Deeras. Both men allegedly didn't like each other, but had professional respect. Their relationship was based around drinking tea with chocolate and discussing political rumors of the land.

By the end of Meerō's reign Uroh Maadoh began sounding the alarm that the population of Deeras had increased dramatically, due to the many Negy opting to migrate to the region and settle. Uroh Maadoh argued that Deeras might become a threat to Toor and choose to invade like they have during the reign of Opol. Meerō listened, but didn't react.

Mosk-Sopoh was much more receptive to Uroh Maadoh. After the army returned from the campaign against Tyrna, Mosk-Sopoh sent a convoy led by Uroh Maadoh to inform the Deeras clan that their senior representative is to travel to Gaskal to pay respects to the new gole.

"As a friend of your glorious house, allow to voice a humble piece of advice. Do bring gifts and offerings, as the gole is impatient and watches his visiting friends with a greedy eye."

The term "visiting friends" was doublespeak for "vassals" or "subjects", and if the quote is not a later embellishment, but an actual phrase uttered by Uroh Maadoh, this would have been understood as an ultimatum. It is not clear whether this was Mosk-Sopoh's intent or whether this was something authored by the Uroh on his own, but this was used as a pretext to a Deeras military invasion since Faan refused to submit to the gole and viewed it as Gaskal breaking their word.

Mosk-Sopoh's forces were able to fight back and drive the army of Deeras back to the south. The deserted city didn't resist and Mosk-Sopoh installed Uroh Maadoh as Murdoh. Unfortunately for both, this was a trick, as on the way back through Dol Mosk-Sopoh's army was ambushed and barely survived the encounter. The Deeras clan and their forces returned to the city and Uroh Maadoh was executed in 1850 FR.
