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 [[Gorōna 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.

When Hee and Iar suddenly [[Tref#early_history|confronted the family]] in the west by capturing Kamey-Yr and also taking Pherro hostage, Kren the Younger made a decision to exchange Pherro for the city of Orden. Nilma used that decision against Kren the Younger, arguing that this was a sign of weakness and that this would bring the whole family down. Rodare then urged to remove Kren the Younger as leader. The family began gathering at Tonaran to deal with the matter, when Kren the Younger was murdered, possibly on the orders of Nilma himself. As the family convened at Tonaran, Rodare proclaimed himself head of the clan.

Rodare then installed Nilma as king of Mantar, denouncing his mother's title, marking her loss in the power game. Gorona then had to join her sister in Qep.

Meanwhile, Pherro reacted to Kren the Younger's demise by joining forces with Hee and Iar against Rodare, and Rodare moved out to the west with his army. Hee and Pherro awaited him at Orden, but Rodare led his troops to Kamey-Yr where Iar was stationed. The element of surprise forced Iar's army to flee. Rodare then marched to Orden, but he and his army were inadvertently sent back in time by the superhero warrior [[Farnole]], who thought she was simply vanishing them. Not only that, they all ended up displaced geographically and found themselves on their way to a city south of Tonaran called Lyn.

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.

During the battle Rodare was seriously wounded and thrown off his horse, when a soldier defended his life, standing over him and fending off attacks. This act of bravery deeply touched Rodare and he said that they shall be brothers forever. The soldier's name was Maksag.

It is not known exactly when Rodare and his soldiers realized what had happened, and it's not clear if they realized the full extent of the situation, since Tonaran looked very differently in the beginning of the 16th CSR.

Surprisingly enough, Kren eventually survived his battle wound and was able to function as ruler of Tonaran and head of the clan, although his health was poor and he no longer campaigned, leaving that to Maksag.
