Out of desire to protect those under his care, he played an active role in the nascent nation's development by placing himself as the shadow ruler of Radz-at-Han with an Auri bloodline serving as figurehead rulers. On the island nation of Thavnair, Vrtra mediated conflicts between successive waves of mortal migrants, who grew to hold him in esteem for this.
