The treaty of Hatheril

Diplomatic action

Due to mounting autrocies the Church issue a formal apology for the actions of zealots, this culminates in a cease-fire between Breland and Thrane.

The mounting atrocities compelled a group of Thrane’s Cardinals to warn against “excesses of zealotry.” It seemed that not all of Thrane’s priesthood agreed with the Keeper’s and the Diet’s approach. Recriminations began to fly in Flamekeep as hard-liners railed against those who would subvert Thrane’s holy cause.   Keeper Serrain ceased making public appearances, and rumors flew that he was ailing (he would be seen little during the remaining years of his reign). Although the path would not be smooth or swift, these tidings are the fi rst evidence that the church’s elders were stepping away from the abyss.   The Diet issued Breland a formal apology; it even cast from the church and imprisoned the officer-priests of the Silver Legion company that destroyed Hateril (they were reinstated to command when passions ran high once again). The Cardinals then sent a delegation to Wroat to offer a cessation of hostilities. In 930, a ceasefire was signed between Thrane and Breland. Thrane voluntarily pulled back north of Cragwar and Sword Keep, and Breland assumed control of a border anchored by those strongholds. For Thrane, this retreat allowed the church to concentrate on quashing any hint of civil war, and to focus attention on its many other enemies.
