Relations between Acronians and Native Rodokans remained cordial in the first years of Acronian settlement, but markedly declined in the year 1632. That year, an Akronist Temple was opened in the city of Rodoka after having been under construction since the Akronists first arrived. During the consecration ceremony, the High Chief at that time, Jürjo, is said to have brought a dead lamb to the Temple and offered it to the Acronians to eat - apparently intended as a joke. The bringing of a dead animal killed for sustenance into a temple was a grave desecration, which was made worse when blood and eventually the body of the lamb itself fell to the floor of the Temple. This event would cause an irreversible desecration of the building, and the Holy Ambassador representing the Matron at the service actually collapsed and died upon the lamb falling to the floor. The High Priestess of Rodoka, Ilara Nevran Lendreaž, ordered that High Chief Jürjo be killed to atone for the desecration. This would lead to a war between the Acronians and the Rodokans.

The war lasted from 1632 until 1634. Of the twenty Rodokan tribes that were independent at the time of the war, fifteen of them surrendered to the Acronians over the course of the war. However, in 1634, a significant fire broke out in the city of Lantaž (which had since expanded to subsume the city of Rodoka), burning down at least a third of the city and causing an estimated 10,000-20,000 deaths. The fire was started by the Milofites, a religious movement of people that journeyed to [[Novaris]] by boat after having been exiled from Durdneel (in what is now [[Sokala]]). The Milofites had been insulted by what they viewed as a grave heresy by the Acronians: women serving as clergy. On the day of the fire, Acronian guards killed ~~the first~~ Milofite ~~Prophet,~~ Conor Foley. Some Milofites escaped the Acronians and fled to the island of Vaimsaar, navigated there by a Rodokan man named Shiimeon who would become known to the Milofites as Sherman. The island would later be known as Milofia, and then Meagharia. After the fire, the Acronian military position was somewhat weakened, and there was great loss of life for both Acronian and Rodokan residents of the city. Ilara Nevran Lendreaž, serving as both High Priestess and Governor of Rodoka, presented the remaining five chiefs with a peace agreement that would see them become subjects of the King of Acronian Empire but grant them reserved land and the right to govern their own affairs inside their territory. The five chiefs signed the agreement, known as the Treaty of Sinajärv. To this day, the King of the Acronian Empire also holds the title "High Chief of the Tribes of Rodoka."
