Overview

The First Godswar (Enchiridian) is named for being the first of several major conflicts between Gods of Acrolon. Lore about The First Godswar is common, but incomplete. It is a subject of mythology more than history to most scholars. Only a few survivors from that time know the complete story.

Causes

On the surface, it appeared that Fenrir started the war by killing Wodhain because of his weak leadership in Acrolon's affairs during The Realm War. Skathi agreed with Fenrir and allied with him creating a faction of Gods on one side of the war. Their opposition acted mostly individually for revenge, rather than collectively for peace, until it was too late and most of the pantheon was murdered.

Underlying this surface cause, however, was the fact that the entire war was part of Xevanezral's Gambit. The Astral Dragon, disguised as Lokhar, carefully set up grudges and resentments before instigating Fenrir to attack Wodhain.
