Khadon the Mighty, sometimes written Khaddon the Mighty,1 arrived in the Five Kings Mountains in 3197 AR aiming to destroy the orcs and end their 700-year occupation of the region. After 82 years of war, Khadon defeated the orcs in 3279 AR at the Battle of Splitmist Pass. He hunted down the orc leader Tarkdok Manyspears, killed him, and displayed his corpse throughout the mountains.

Khadon founded the empire of Tar Khadurrm in 3279 AR and the city of Jernashall in 3312 AR. Jernashall became the pre-eminent city of the new empire. It was so important that the nations of Cheliax and Isger petitioned Tar Khadurrm to help them build a surface city close to Jernashall. With the help of the dwarves, the city of Raseri Kanton was founded in 3451 AR, and became a vital trade center in the region. Khadon passed away from extreme age in the same year and his son, Sidrik was crowned king of Tar Khadurrm.2

Sometime during the war, Khadon retook Saggorak's southern district and renamed it Kovlar.3
