Pact of the Gods to end the ruinous Holy Wars
2030
The God Kord sent his Hand, Hildraft, to the other Gods of Alair to entreat them to a conference. The other Gods, likewise fearing the complete extermination of their worshippers, agreed, and a mighty host of deities gathered on Stormpeak to decide what to do. All the Gods of Alair, down to the newest, Lynien the Trickster, came to the table … except Sabath the Adversary.
For the first time since the Dawn Concords, when the Gods agreed never to fight directly again but to operate through their priests and heroes, the collected deities of Alair made a solemn pact – this time to end the Holy Wars and give all the mortals of Alair time to rebuild. All the Gods – except Sabath.
Declared Outcast and Accursed by all his peers, the Lord of the Shadows cares naught for it; he has ever walked alone. The elves of the Scorpion Empire rejected the pact.
All other kings, priests, paladins and heroes received instructions from their deities in no uncertain fashion to cease hostilities immediately. While by no stretch of the imagination did universal love and harmony break out, full-scale wars flickered out across Alair, except in Belámir.
