The Mystic Truce
A Council of Divinities & other Mystic Beings, who preside over the peace treaty & ceasefire which binds the Realms to an existence without war. Contained in one being, the Truce is tied inexorably to Caleb Mauthisen's tenure as Judge.
Many believe the Truce is an impossibility without him, as his unique situation was what caused the ceasefire in the first place.

History
A newborn swaddled in cotton sheets, left upon the altar of the Axis Mundi stilled the centuries of combat, which became known as The Mystic War. The act of Raynar Einridsen begat a wave of mercy from the Goddesses who bore witness to the infant Caleb Mauthisen's cries.
Hera Juno Olympia and Mary were the first to take Caleb into their arms, sharing the responsibilities of wet-nurses and surrogate mothers, while the chaos of the War raged to its eventual halt. Goddesses from across the Realms offered to nurse the child, swaddling him up in their affections and giving to Caleb the divine milk of all Realms who listened.
And as the Goddesses consoled the infant, they talked.
The Goddesses spoke to each other, found similarities and differences, enjoyed each others' company until the Axis Mundi became a place of community instead of bloodshed. Chairs were brought forth, a few comfortable places for the child to rest his infant head, and unto the group of women stepping up to care for a Widower's child, a thought.
Taken by Ares Mars Olympia and Jase to recuperate, Raynar's Wrath left him. He called for the end of the battles, and perhaps out of a sense of shared pain at seeing the grief in a father who could not look upon his son, Ares acquiesced. The clatter and clang of battle receded to pockets, which eventually became silence, and more gathered at the Axis Mundi to see how this miracle occurred.
A bastion of peace would exist around the Child. And although few agreed absolute in the functions little Caleb Mauthisen was meant to fulfill, eventually the title of Judge was set upon the infant's shoulders.
