The cult was a constant nuisance for Nilma throughout the first decade of his reign, with the Oaleed King seriously increasing the level of violence in the city after Nilma's return from the second Qep campaign. This forced Nilma to essentially start a war with the cultists. Tata, who was one of Nilma's negotiators, was able to aide the Oaleed King, delivering disappointment after disappointment to Nilma's royal guard. In 1604, Nilma executed the royal guard's commander, Mors Lornea, punishing him for the lack of progress and acting on suspicions of leaks, and installed Davoy Gol Mōllork in his place. Mōllork set up a secret operation, reporting directly to Nilma and leaving everyone else out. This also kept Tata out of the loop and in 1605 a number of successful raids began to bleed the cultists, including the one that killed Regent Bomoor.

In 1606 the Oaleed King fled Mantar, accompanied by several hundred of other believers, and ending the cult. The cultists traveled north and crossed Kōnzoh with heavy losses, after which they attacked several villages at Koalderood and set up camp. They were then mauled by the army of Jegin in the beginning of 1607.
