dyeli

Revelation 22:20; Each emperor of Mali have a dyeli who served as his herald and spokesman, counselor, and intimate friend in blood line who was the only person, for instance, allowed to see the emperor in his wrath. He recited the Epic of Old Mali in public, composed the portion of the epic that related the events occurring during his time as dyeli, and served as the court's master of ceremonies. Trained in constitutional procedures, he also settled disputes between clans and tribes. Dyelis were chosen, in part, because of their low social status. This was considered important because it meant the dyelis would be dependent upon "their" emperor and would not have any kinsmen among the nobility or the freemen who might try to influence them or make a claim to the throne. For these reasons, though the dyelis held a very important position in Mali government, it was believed they were reliable.
