Hee continued to expand, conquering Gulun-Yr, building Garood in order to secure his lands from Baat. Baat did eventually attack Garood. Hee had to grant Delbar independence in order to receive help from them in securing the southern border.

Hee accepted New Dawn settlers without discrimination and allowed them to mix with the local population, significantly undermining True Wewen's mission of the colonization of the east.

Hee also started a culture war with Nilma by accepting Foft followers and becoming First Ienana of the religion, which dramatically increased his influence and support among the population. Hee's popularity among the people was constantly increasing and by the end of his life he was revered as the father of the land.

Reacting to the decline of Oordars influence, Hee built the city of Oordar and made it the capital of Tref, while giving himself the title of King of Kings. He allowed anyone to become citizen of Tref as long as they convert to Foft and build a house in Oordar.

By the end of his rule, Hee began to be obsessed with restoring the Oordar rule in Heran, an initiative that was viewed as both unrealistic and alien to his court. He began organizing a campaign against [[Mantareia]], but his plans were thwarted and he was ousted by the group led by [[Mayeerqnoel]], who turned out to be a [[legendary]].
By the end of his rule, Hee became obsessed with restoring the Oordar rule in Heran, an initiative that was viewed as both unrealistic and alien to his court. This obsession had a history and was initially driven by the death of Pherro in 1600 and the subjugation of [[Qep]] by Nilma in 1602, which officially made Delavire a part of his state. This endangered Hee's influence over the [[Delavire-Gonne slave trade corridor]], which was initially run by Pherro. Proceeds from the slave trade was a huge source of income for Oordars during the reign of [[Kren the Younger]] and became an important ingredient of [[Tref|Tref's]] wealth as well.
Hee was able to re-establish his ties with Delavire, but starting 1607 payments began to decline and by 1611 the Delavire-Gonne corridor collapsed. By this time Hee became obsessed over the untimely death of his uncle and the loss of influence in [[Heran]]. [[Davi the Heranian]] has speculated that the death of [[Iar Oordar|Iar]] could have contributed to Hee's decline as a leader, as he took it very hard.
The earliest letters, proving that Hee began organizing a campaign against [[Mantareia]], are dated 1613 [[SR]]. However, his own court and advisors, as well as many of his Jeens, considered the enterprise both unrealistic and unnecessary: Mantareia was powerful and far away, Tref had enough concerns of its own, and "Pherro's gold" hasn't been a source of income for years. Eventually, Hee was ousted by the group led by [[Mayeerqnoel]], who turned out to be a [[legendary]] and became Tref's ruler for the next 150 years.
The details of Hee's ousting are murky, probably due to the involvement of a legendary. Mayeerqnoel was introduced to Hee somewhere in 1612 or 1613 and became his advisor. He strongly supported Hee's desire to march on Mantareia and became the most ardent supporter of the idea. It might have been a ploy, as his vocal support elevated his political standing in the capital. This then allowed him to easily reach out to the opposing side, the documented evidence of which exists in the form of letters, reports and, specifically, diaries of [[Yonisha]].
Hee was made to step down voluntarily. He was not aware of Mayeerqnoel's role in the plot and continued to see him as his friend. Mayeerqnoel accompanied Hee to [[Noral]]. Davi talks about a poem, that has not survived to our day, which depicts Hee's journey to Noral as "a pilgrimage of sorts".

Imprisoned in Noral, Hee spent the last two years of his life dictating [[Path of the Oordars]] to his son, Poloo. The manuscript was eventually lost, although attempts at its recovery spanned centuries.

Researchers cite two main Hee's decisions as having changed the course of history much more than even the founding of Tref, which turned out to be a relatively short-lived state: the embrace of Foft and the welcoming of the New Dawn migrants and allowing them to mix with the local population.
Today, Foft is one of the major religions on the [[Continent]]. Hee's support came at a critical time. Had he decided to oppose it, it is possible that the religion would have faded into obscurity.
Hee's stance on the New Dawn was an important precedent which severely undermined True Wewen's aggressive plans for hard colonization, since it was close geographically and allowed for an alternative to those who wanted to continue moving eastward, but did not want to side with True Wewen. In hindsight, many researchers believe that it is Tref's permissive stance that dramatically increased the rate of assimilation of the New Dawn and also led to the quick collapse of True Wewen.
