While the Era of Legend survives through folklore, the Era of Survival was chronicled by Yeshi Wangpo, an ancient Duōma philosopher and moralist. His documentation is one of few substantive sources remaining that thoroughly chronicles the foundation of Duōmachāha, though not without its limitations. The main text in which his documentation resides is known as the Pandect. The text documents various historical happenings along with stories of Wangpo's travels throughout Alshar as he collected the Duōma history and the morals he formed throughout his journey. Other available texts are used to fill in gaps in time and writing of legend, but the library of early Duōma literature remains limited into modern times. | While the Era of Legend survives through folklore, the Era of Survival was chronicled by Yeshi Wangpo, an ancient Duōma philosopher and moralist.

Though shrouded in a thick fog of legend, all texts documenting early Duōma history talk of various skilled warlords leading fragmented territories across the Duōma plateau. Fighting was seemingly bitter and fierce, with different warlords training armies of soldiers in burgeoning combat practices, such as Mang-po Rgyadre-tso. Resource across the plateau was minimal, leading to a scarce supply of adequate weaponry for battle. The power commanded by the warlords brought about tales of heroic combat between these powerful men, while Wangpo was able to create a picture of a more grim reality in the war-torn steppe. He writes of vast empty lands controlled by small groups of soldiers on cavalry while the citizenry was regularly short on necessities. | Though shrouded in a thick fog of legend, all texts documenting early Duōma history talk of various skilled warlords leading fragmented territories across the Duōma plateau.
