Sometimes, though, history is written by the gods. Many of the histories of Gaeleth are tempered by the minds of the writers, but there are times when the will of Destiny and the presence of living gods can change perspectives. The gods participated or were violated in several of the most important historical events in all of Gaeleth's history, from the Storm Wars to the War of the Undead, from the tale of the Princess Sword to… text/html 2021-09-28T15:48:44+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:history:inquisition&rev=1632844124&do=diff Inquisition After the desolation caused by the Storm Wars, many people looked to the churches to help support them in their time of need.

The Prizm Wars were, for many, just a continuation of the Sister Worlds War which had raged on for some time.
