-This pact was created by the gods in order to establish an idea of what is and isn't acceptable behavior within the Jaernian god structure. It was ratified by all the gods of old and Orus sits at the head and handles any disruptions to the pact.+This pact was created by the gods in order to establish an idea of what is and isn't acceptable behavior within the Fourteen. It was ratified by all the gods of old. [[gods:orus|Orus]] sits at the head and handles any disruptions to the pact. While it is possible for a god to break the pact, these actions are frowned upon by the rest of the pantheon unless the context surrounding this violation was unique and necessary
  
-  * Anubishis priests, and his Celestials are solely responsible for collecting the souls of the dead. Upon entry to Infero, a soul will be judged and routed to the proper afterlife depending on divine following. In the event of no primary following, the soul will be allowed to reincarnate, venture to the outer planes, or remain within the Infero. +Ultimately, the Godpact is a social contract more than it is a binding one.
-  * Gods are not to interfere, except in dire emergencies, with the normal flow of Jaern history unless called upon by a priest or follower. +
-  * No god is to possess soul of a priest of another god. As all souls flow through Infero, this should never occur. +
-  * No god is to use another god's artifact items to gain additional power by draining them. They may be used by other gods for their originally intended purpose. +
-  * No god is to stake claim on a plane that another god within this pact has already staked a claim on. This will prevent gods from fighting over planes. +
-  * Apart from the Fourteen included in this pact and council, no god shall claim to be a true god of Jaern or Cahyali. Beings doing such will be met with swift punishment. +
-  * No fighting during meetings! (This was added after a confrontation between Ra and Rudri at previous meeting.)+
  
-Any new members or new terms to this pact must be ratified by a two-thirds majority votewith Orus having two votes as head of the pact.+  * Gods shall not take mortal souls unwillingly. They must be freely offered by the mortal.  
 +    * [[gods:anubis|Anubis]] governs where souls shall go after death. A soul with no godly affiliation shall be set free to wander the planes at their own discretion. 
 +  * Gods shall stay out of mortal affairs unless called upon by Divine Intervention or ritual. 
 +  * Gods shall not possess mortal body that is not one of their followers. 
 +  * Gods shall not steal other gods' artifactsand the theft of a divine artifact is a mortal sin to all godly followers. 
 +    * [[gods:tarus|Tarus]] is in charge of ensuring divine artifacts are not abused.  
 +  * The pantheon must act in unanimous accordance when staking claim to a world or plane. 
 +  * Gods may enforce priestly tenets and punish sins only amongst their own followers. They cannot punish non-followers for priesthood sins.  
 +  * It is inappropriate for the gods to fight amongst themselves. 
 + 
 +Adjusting this pact requires the calling of a meeting of the Fourteen.
