Unseating of Morees

Unseating of Morees, popularly known as "the Serpent's Yarn", was a coup orchestrated by Mylda Toarlameek against the Murdoh of Qep city Erigma Moree in 1552 SR.

Background

After Maksag Oordar invaded Qep in 1514-1515 SR and installed his Jeen Ulan Moree as Murdoh of Qep city, Morees became the ruling family of the whole central region of Qep. Initially Ulan's rule was incredibly destructive since there was no clarity on the longevity of his role as Murdoh, but as it became clear that he is now the governor of the city, he began rebuilding. His rule was, nonetheless, oppressive and while Qep city soon reemerged as an economic and political powerhouse of the region, the vast majority of the population lived in poverty, as Ulan used a lot of slave labor, thus competing with the local landowners and their serfs.

Ulan was succeeded by his son, Erigma Moree, who changed very little in the way things are done.

Toarlameeks were a respected and wealthy family that were driven out of Qep city when Maksag invaded and fled to Lora. Lora was then desecrated by Maksag, but he spared nobility and Taley Toarlameek eventually became Murdoh of Lora. One of Taley's life goals became the restoration of his family's wealth, including lands previously owned by Toarlameeks in Qep city.
