Pax Solaris (Cabal War Finale)
A summary of the recent Cabal War.
Forces controlled by the Necrodancer surged into neutral and EON aligned nations. The raw size of the undead horde backed with Atriox's physical and mystical might allowed them to quickly sweep through dozens of city states and a half dozen full nations culminating in the battle of Ten Lines.
Raestrian armies held back Cabal forces while Bismuth forces evacuated civilians. Victory ultimately fell to the Cabal when Atriox charged through Raestrian defences and ended the siege. Anti Cabal forces retreated and Cabal forces celebrated.
The next major event was the Assassination of Atriox. Given he had stolen Gaias power Ten Suns had suggested slaying him to steal it back. The other Anti Cabal forces minus Hirk agreed to the proposal. They lured Atriox with threats of someone who could usurp his power and trapped him in a sperate realm where the battle took place.
While Anticabal forces blocked attempts to save Atriox, Shrax and an agent of Ten Suns were tasked with performing the deed. While Atriox was heavily wounded the Necrodancer broke in and tried to save him. Moradin followed and in the resulting battle used Atriox's body like a club, killing the dragon*. Necrodancer retreated with his corpse while another ally retrieved his soul to begin a resurrection.
Their planned resurrection would fail leading to Ten Suns retrieving the body. However Atriox's soul was cunning and possessed a simple artificer. Using them to reunite his body and soul the dragon escaped. Though in the process he had lost Gaia's aspects of creation and life to Ten Suns while retaining control over earth, stone and the remainder of Gaias power.
After these events active conflict began to cool and Ten Suns offered them a peace treaty. After some negotiation the terms were solidified.
To put simply.
1 The Cabal shall return any captured land, citizens, and wealth from the nations and city states it conquered during the Cabal Wars (With a few exceptions). Ten Suns will administer these territories and help reconstruct their governments and infrastructure.
2 Anticabal forces will exit Cabal lands and will release any captured Cabal agents into cabal custody. In addition any Cabal undead still in any usable condition will be carted back to the Cabal.
3 The Cabal will par war reparations for each dead civilian in the war. This sum of money will be used by Anti cabal forces in reconstruction.
4 The Cabal shall not muster forces to invade or coerce non cabal nations.
With this treaty begins the Pax Solaris. A peace which given historical trends will last days perhaps.
In addition to secure the Anticabal side of the Border Ten Suns has used Gaias to construct a series of fortresses along and inside of the previously conquered nations. These will allow Ten Suns to enforce the terms of the treaty and coordinate reconstruction in the now liberated territories.
/Uw I know I probably missed a lot to anyone else who participated in the cabal wars please feel free to write down what you did and comment it below. I can't wait to see what shenanigans the cabal does next.
