Kren Oordar knew many details of the campaign due to growing up in Mantar as [[Kren_Oordar#Rodare_Oordar|Rodare Oordar]], and had Maksag begin the campaign by invading Mantar from the south and approaching Zelo, a large and influential city.

TBD: Kren Oordar knew that a given city would be problematic and had Maksag make precautions, but the city was very easy to take over. Kren was surprised by this, but another city became very problematic. Later it turned out that the cities were named differently, and that Maksag mistook one for the other due to Kren's instructions. After the invasion, however, the remaining city was named the way Maksag referred to it, thus ensuring that Rodare would later learn the wrong names of the cities.
The campaign ended in 1527, but Mantar's resistance was fully defeated only by 1533.

His handling of Maird was thus markedly different, which ended up yielding to Oordar's peacefully, while his Mantar campaign was informed by Kren's knowledge of the future.

Known as the Sword of Oordars, Maksag was both feared and respected and had many Murdohs, warlords and whole courts demonstrate their exceptional loyalty to him. Toyen effectively began to do Maksag's bidding and distanced itself from Damilo, instead aligning with Mantar. Maksag's influence was so broad that it began to spill over the borders of Heran, increasing Mantar's authority in central Tarnaria as well. Maksag's rule also visibly reduced Qep's reputation to being a vassal state to Mantar.

Maksag helped bring slavery to the forefront of Heran economies for centuries to come and made Mantar the center of slave trade and the most brutal slavery laws in the region, in contrast with its milder attitude towards slavery and the prohibition of slave trade.
Maksag helped bring slavery to the forefront of Heran economies for centuries to come and made Mantar the center of slave trade and the most brutal slavery laws in the region, in contrast with its previous milder attitude towards slavery and the prohibition of slave trade. It is at the time of Mantar being subdued to Oordar rule that the [[Delavire-Gonne slave trade corridor]] was established.
While incredibly generous to the northerners as Jeenor, Maksag made the lives of foreigners in Mantar worse. This was later enhanced by his son's draconian religious laws.
