The Grim Covenant

Soon after the events of the Roaming Rage, a week long gathering of Barons was arranged to address the future. After much discussion, debate and airing of grievances, an agreement was reached with the intent of never seeing another Swell and to unite against anyone who would try to trigger the Chain in such a way.

The elves, dwarves and dragons agreed to ensuring this within their own borders, but did not promise support if yet another human nation chose to act rashly while swayed by the hunger for power.

Many lessons were learned during the Covenant. Modern strategies for organized population control were born that week. The non-human races particularly came away with a greater understanding of humans. In response to a fundamental loss of trust, the non-human nations began to loosen their isolationist policies, placing new value on elves, dwarves and dragonborn who chose to live among humans, with unspoken understanding that any warning signs be reported back to their home nations.
