Râlê Yanizabâr is responsible for bringing disgrace and dishonor to his family. In 1301, the Akumîlû, the Khazarkar secret police, discovered that he was a member of the Eldritch Conclave, studying to become a Web Weaver. In the records of Minâth-Nôrî, the Yanizabârs were marked as "liquidated." They were accused of conspiring with the enemy. This action was taken under a law dating back to the Khazarkar Empire's rule in Gulimbor, where families were collectively punished for acts of treason. Depending on the Setarch in charge at the time, the punishment was doled out harshly or with leniency. The Yanizabârs were given little time to flee the empire. Most were captured and executed. Râlê, a rebel more interested in personal gain than family influence, did not seek revenge or much concern himself with the fate of his kin.

In 1317, Râlê instigated the Nalbirag Gold War, which lasted from 1317 to 1324. He persuaded Neeth-Theen to support his expedition into Nalbirag. Râlê claimed there was great power to be found in Rumak, the lake west of the Nalbirag mountains. However, Râlê's personal motivation for the foray into the claimed lands was gold. He had accumulated massive debts with bankers in Malardân and Phaerssysn. During his stay in Haag-Bre, a location secured in the aforementioned war, he managed to earn enough money to repay these bankers.
