Hee Oordar /'hiːe/ was the founder and King of Kings of Tref, Jeen of the Northern Army of Tref, self-proclaimed head of the Oordar clan and First Ienana of Foft.
Early life
Hee was born to Kren the Younger and Eeleen Oordar in Tonaran in 1572. He received military education in Ernele and became Jeen by late 1580s. He was very close to his brother Iar.
In the early 1590s Hee and Iar became rulers of Delbar. It is unknown if it was their own initiative or a joint Oordar clan decision. The latter is more likely.
Founding of Tref
Main article: Tref's early history
Very soon the brothers moved their forces to Kamey-Yr. Kamey-Yr was under informal Oordar control. The brothers took control of the city, entering into a conflict with the rest of the clan. It is thought that the idea belonged to Hee, as he was dissatisfied being controlled by his father, as well as by Kren the Younger's passive politics. Hee wanted to garner fame as warrior.
This caused the brothers' uncle Pherro to arrive to Delbar. Pherro was able to reverse the deal that the brothers made with Delbar's Murdoh and took control of the city.
Iar marched on Delbar with a significant regiment and set up siege. Citizens of Delbar, feeling that they were being used as pawns in the Oordar clan power games, revolted and threw Pherro out. Iar then took Pherro as prisoner and marched back to Kamey-Yr.
Hee used Pherro as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Kren the Younger, who agreed to exchange Pherro for the city of Orden. This set off a coup led by Nilma Oordar, who organized the murder of Kren the Younger. Nilma installed his son Rodare as ruler.
Rodare decided to quash Hee and Iar's campaign immediately, but instead of marching on Orden, he appeared under the walls of Kamey-Yr and was able to make Iar's forces retreat. He then marched on Orden.
In Orden Hee was introduced to a young superhero warrior Farnole. Her ability was significant, but she was reluctant to help, since she disliked the Oordar clan: she claimed that her family was wronged by Kren's brother. Hee told her that Rodare is the grandson of Kren's brother. She then agreed and used her powers to vanish Rodare and his whole army.
Their enemy gone, Hee, Iar and Pherro were now free to rule Orden and go back and reclaim Kamey-Yr.
King of Kings of Tref
Hee continued to expand, conquering Gulun-Yr, building Garood in order to secure his lands from Baat. Baat did eventually attack Garood. Hee had to grant Delbar independence in order to receive help from them in securing the southern border.
Hee accepted New Dawn settlers without discrimination and allowed them to mix with the local population, significantly undermining True Wewen's mission of the colonization of the east.
Hee also started a culture war with Nilma by accepting Foft followers and becoming First Ienana of the religion, which dramatically increased his influence and support among the population. Hee's popularity among the people was constantly increasing and by the end of his life he was revered as the father of the land.
Reacting to the decline of Oordars influence, Hee built the city of Oordar and made it the capital of Tref, while giving himself the title of King of Kings. He allowed anyone to become citizen of Tref as long as they convert to Foft and build a house in Oordar.
End of rule
By the end of his rule, Hee began to be obsessed with restoring the Oordar rule in Heran, an initiative that was viewed as both unrealistic and alien to his court. He began organizing a campaign against Tonaran, but his plans were thwarted and he was ousted by the group led by Mayeerqnoel, who turned out to be a legendary.
Last years
Hee was imprisoned in Noral and spent the last two years of his life dictating Path of the Oordars to his grandson.
