The Defection
It was not Norentha who initiated contact between Herself and the three gods who support her. After Athneron revealed her existance, Shaold and Nekrutan reached out into the void, and were only mildly surprised to find the void reach back.
Norentha taught them of destruction, and the power it afforded. They were quick to accept Her offers. Aware now of the presence of more that could be swayed to her side, Norentha reached out to the remaining First Ones. Only Cheznerix accepted Her offer. The 7th, however decided not to side with either group. While the god did separate from Athneron's supporters, They did not join with Norentha's cabal. Both sides argued for the 7th to join their cause, growing frustrated. There came a point where the two sides did not care whose side They joined, only that They make a decision.
Attempts were made on the life of the 7th god. One must have been successful. Horrified at what They had done, the two sides agreed to a cease fire, despite the fact that no war had truly begun. Though there was a later period of war that did erupt, it was over their unreconcilable differences in ideology.
