The Oordar clan left a deep mark on Tarnaria's culture, being associated with political and military prowess, power and wealth.
Kren's reliance on slave trade and the subsequent invasion and subjugation of Mantar moved slavery to the forefront of [[Heran]] economies, possibly reversing the limited social progress advocated by Mantar. In fact, Tonaran, Ernele and Or moved towards less strict laws on slavery, in some cases putting slaves in a better position than peasants, but, partially as punishment for its previous stance on slave trade, Mantar was turned into a center of slave trade for the next 200 years, and became known for its harsh conditions and draconian laws on slavery.
The return of the Oordars became a common narrative in a number of regions that were vassal to the Oordars during their reign, such as Qep, Or, Ernele. Several warlords later use the claim of Oordar lineage to justify their power, and there was provable Oordar lineage in Maird.
This concern was especially elevated in Tonaran due to the proximity of Maird and Tonaran being the former seat of the Oordar clan. To reduce the risk of confrontation, Tos Darman pushed for formal diplomatic relations with Maird and arranged a marriage between his daughter Palesta and the Mel-Mel-Gole of Maird, Brynt Bloorynoh. The marriage did not happen due to the fall of Tonaran mere months after the arrangement.
Oordars are virtually unknown outside of [[Bukk|Bukk-speaking]] countries, and the history of Tref, although founded by an Oordar, is largely overshadowed by [[Mayeerqnoel]].
=== Politics ===
Kren Oordar founded what was essentially the first proto-empire of Tarnaria since the establishment of [[Mōroh]]. This set the stage for further centralization of what was historically a very decentralized political landscape. [[Murdoh|Murdon]], who were usually governors of regions or city-states, were now able to acquire significant scope and power due to the amount of Oordar expansion and the inability of the clan to provide enough family members to rule it all, essentially becoming vassal states to Tonaran. This was especially true for [[Qep]] and was literally the case for Mantar.
At the same time, the failure of Kren the Younger to use the momentum of Oordar's influence to centralize the clan's power in Tonaran led to the Oordar proto-empire falling apart almost immediately after Kren the Younger's demise.
It has been argued that the ascension of [[Darman family|Darmans]] to power led to the [[Tonaran#The_fall|fall of Tonaran]], which would have otherwise continued to be the impenetrable fortress it always was, but most historians disagree. The consensus seems to be that the fall of Tonaran included a whole series of improbable events that would have been equally (un)likely regardless of who was on the throne.
=== Slave trade ===

=== Religion ===
Nilma Oordar, known as the Angry King, increased the role of [[Xaewoon#Xaewoon Blue|Xaewoon Blue]] in politics. His persecution of [[Foft]] led to its followers being driven out of Tarnaria. As a result, Foft followers mostly exist outside of Tarnaria to this day.
