| These opposing domains of Kelvar and Grim-Notesh led to many conflicts between the two dragon deities and their kin. In most cases, Grim-Notesh or a child of his would become an aggressor to one of Kelvar’s kin or a city under one of their protection. The child of Kelvar would often not respond to the aggression of it, instead seeking appeasement and to maintain the peace by what was needed, thinking themselves above responding by force. | These opposing domains of Kelvar and Grim-Notesh led to many conflicts between the two dragon deities and their kin.

| The war was long, bloody and brutal, even by the standards of the time. Most cities found themselves caught in the middle of battles of dragons, burning to the ground by the end of each fight. Millions were displaced, islands and lands were rendered uninhabitable. Kelvar, sensing the movement of the other gods in response to the distress of people of the world, began coming up with a plan to end the war, once and for all. The plan was set to take place on the seventy seventh anniversary of the start of the war. During the early morning hours, Kelvar challenged her brother to a duel to decide the war. God versus Goddess on an island, isolated from the world around. The duel began as one would imagine, fierce and bloody, with Kelvar quickly becoming overwhelmed by Grim-Notesh’s primal nature. It was at this time Kelvar activated her trap. The island itself took both of them, and using the souls of all the deceased dragons, ejected Grim-Notesh into the void beneath the Beneath. It was there that he was trapped and bound, to be forgotten in the annals of history. | The war was long, bloody and brutal, even by the standards of the time.

With the assistance of her high priest, Kelvar put a small fraction of her soul into a mortal, to be passed down through the centuries and to keep the priesthood going.
