However, these "voyages" were less about genuine exploration and more about partying and women. He did become a close acquaintance of several officials and local rich people in [[Estonoh]], but his reputation was superficial: he was liked as a guest who spends inordinate amounts of money. The conclusion of his trips usually coincided with the expiration of his funds.

His speed barrier also tended to disrupt life in cities and so he usually spent his time outside, setting up a tent city and inviting people to his dinners that would typically last until the early hours of the morning.

It is at this time that he became known as the Bird Killer, because birds would accidentally hit his barrier and some would be killed on impact. In fact, finding a row of bird corpses was one of the methods to locate the edge of Mran's barrier. In Nadd people independently came up with the same nickname, angering Mran considerably.

The naddians quickly understood that Mran's barrier is what's keeping them safe and asked him to stay for a bit longer. Mosk-Sopoh coldly refused to stop the siege. While he moved some of his troops away, enough of them were left under city walls indefinitely, which resulted in the famous [[the Long Siege|Long Siege]]. Naddians then refused to let Mran leave and held him captive for the rest of his life. He died in 1901 [[FR]].

Based on the documents in Gantolia and on some of Porteek's writings, Mran quickly spent his money and, not being able to leave and replenish his supplies, lost his guards and friends, who left Nadd in late 1857 [[FR]]. This finally allowed the naddians to detain him and confine him to a house that was guarded day and night. In 1887 he was moved to a fortified building near the southern wall, so as to push the toorians farther from the city, but was then moved back deeper into the city just three years later, in 1890.
