The chronicles of the early period mention that Ordenstaat received help from [[Madina]] and [[Terran]]. Both realms sold Ordenstaat food in a critical moment and helped them to fight against rogues. Ordenstaat kept peace with their neighbours, keeping in mind their main goal - '''to tame the Daimon invasion that loomed from the west'''.
