Eventually, Tirna called on the neighboring city of Nadd for help and naddian forces marched on Meerō. The naddians were not the strongest army of the region, but capable. Engaging with the toorians in several battles, naddians were able to eventually force Meerō to cancel the campaign and return to Gaskal.

The campaign proved almost fatal for the Dolysoh dynasty, as Meerō's indecision and lack of leadership had completely eroded the trust that his father had built, and several Jeens, hungry for both power and conquest, began plotting a coup.

The "Red Orchid", however, did affect Tirna's standing and shifted the power balance to Troun: while the naddians were busy helping Tirna, Troun occupied Nadd. When the naddian forces returned, they were faced with closed gates. The Murdoh of Nadd chose to submit to Troun and break off its relationship with Tirna. Perhaps for this and other reasons, Tirna's influence began to wane. It was conquered several years later by Meerō's son, [[Mosk-Sopoh Dolysoh|Mosk-Sopoh]].
