Considered a visionary in his day, Kren projected a fatherly figure as head of the famed Oordars, while Maksag was the Oordar that was regarded as the de-facto ruler of the proto-empire.

Rodare Oordar was born in 1572 SR to [[nilma oordar|Nilma]] and [[Gorona Oordar]]. Nilma was the son of Maksag Oordar, brother of Kren.

Rodare Oordar was born in 1572 [[SR]] to [[nilma Oordar|Nilma]] and [[Gorona Oordar]]. Nilma was the son of Maksag Oordar, brother of Kren.

Rodare was the only son and was raised in Mantar. He then moved to Tonaran with Nilma, who began propping him up to be the successor of [[Kren the Younger]] against [[pherro oordar|Pherro]], Kren the Younger's brother.

Unaware of this and having never seen neither Orden nor Lyn before, Rodare began an attack on Lyn, thinking it's Orden, but the city quickly opened its gates. Rodare demanded to see the leaders and found out that the city had a very limited regiment and no signs of Hee, Pherro or their armies.

Believing that they had tricked him in order to regroup with their combined forces at Kamey-Yr, which was politically and economically more important than Orden, Rodare immediately turned his army back. Late at night he approached what he thought was Kamey-Yr in 1593, while in reality it was Tonaran in 1513. The army then attacked Tonaran, which, of course, was not expecting any action. The element of surprise gave Rodare's troops an edge in a difficult battle for the city that lasted for two days. Rodare's army suffered heavy casualties, but came out victorious, ending Tonaran's legendary invincibility and putting the Oordar family on the map for the first time.

Historians have struggled with the causal loop, trying to understand if there was ever a first Kren who started it all. However, the nature of causal loops is such that it is impossible to tell which link in the chain was the real beginning.

The only thing that can be said today is that the legend of Kren is unlikely to have ever been true, since the town of Kren never had Oordars. Nor could it ever had - "Oordar" is not a northern name. Similarly, there could have been no Maksag Oordar, since Maksag is a name //and// a surname. The story acknowledges it by giving Kren the name Nogsag, which would make sense, as Magsag and Nogsag would then have the same surname in the form of the suffix "sag", a common surname in the north. The name of the alleged older brother Oron is not a northern name, which is inconsistent.

No superhero warrior by the name of Faron was documented, but the name "Faron" sounds very similar to "Pherro". The plausibility of this hypothesis is supported by the fact that in the beginning Rodare was searching for Pherro, both in Lyn and then in Tonaran, which he thought was Kamey-Yr. This could have become part of the myth, and the name was transcribed as "Faron".
