The transition that gripped the Chey brought terrible forces to the forefront of their society, since many of the superstitious herders embraced the religious fervor that elevated Ren to the throne. Unbelievers (the so-called "unclean") died in countless purges and many, including Ren's family, had once been close to the Fire King. The Jey clan suffered dearly, for the illusionist refused to protect those who resisted his quest. Between S.A. 2001 and 2012, the already weakened population of the thirty-six tribes fell in number by a full third. Their count stood at half of what it had been before the Plague of S.A. 1998.
Once secure as master of Chey Sart, Ren pursued the goals that most pleased the Lord of the Rings. Attacking to the northeast and south, the Fire King's mounted warriors overran the lands of Dalpygis, part of Khargagis Ahar, Heb Aaraan and Orgothraath in the First Chey Expansion (S.A. 2155-2693). Ren built an empire rooted in the Shadow, establishing an elaborate system of horse-roads and garrison holds in order to insure the consolidation of his conquests.
Then came the Second Chey Expansion (S.A. 2899-3261), when the Kingdom of Chey Sart grew to its height. Vaag, Acaana, and western Gaathgykaraken fell in the first few decades, and Ren's armies turned northward to concentrate on their incorporation of the Kargagis Ahar and the rich territory of Rycolis. These wars raged for two centuries, until the Variags of Ûvatha joined the Chey and turned the tide of resistance. Ren was at the apogee of his career when Ar-Pharazôn of Númenor landed with his Adan army at Umbar and captured Sauron.
During the Dark Lord's imprisonment in Númenor, the illusionist remained at Ulk Chey Sart and forged Parkronar Burguul.
