The sieges of Remel and Toborr are particularly legendary, since not only were they the first major EnSanni cities to be captured, but were witness to the divine intervention by the power of the Mother Goddess. Although Initerrer was for a long time the administrative centre of the Mother Army, the Church argues that the Prophet did not make a home here, and it was not witness to any divine miracles.

The peoples of Old Ororr also consider the term controversial, since Déor was the first city conquered by the Mother Army. Déor's claim is usually forgotten by the church, since the city was violently sacked and brutalised.

Despite attempts to create apocryphal stories that the prophet stopped at the site of the future city, the capital is considered a class all its own.
