You lived in a time when few of us did, and survived. You have seen what Divine War can do. You know the horror of innocents being slaughtered while battle raged above and infront of them. Of screams and rain the color of blood. Monsters running into battle, and watching as the peoples try to fight back, and die. Walking on their comrades dead backs to fight and fall still.
I ask you, what is the alternative? For all the people to live under Nor and (I assume) Argothoths iron reign? For all these people to live as half mutants half undead? To watch as children are born under a blackened sky?
My fellow Pantheon members, we have come to a fork in the road. To both sides lie War. On one fork we have a few years before Nor and Argothoth are strong enough to ignore the penalties of breaking the Law. In the years before the inevitable attack we MAY be strong enough to survive, but are we all willing to gamble the world itself on such a course?
Then there is the other fork. One where we play it out now, for good or ill. However, down this fork my hands are tied. Under the Law as it stand I cannot start the agression. Should I attack my power would be hopelessly cut down, even IF I had the support of the Pantheon.
I have only one recourse. When Hedra Iren first came into power, we forsaw this EXACT problem. And we made a rule to solve it. We can change the Law, and rewrite it as the Pantheon sees fit. The Allfather decrees that a two thirds majority is enough to force Hedra Iren, under her own Law, to rewrite her book.
I will have this Pantheon come to order, and take the floor. As a member of this circle, I propose a vote to change the Law on when a war can be started.
I am open to making edit's on this Law, but I think it is fine as it stands. Notice it says nothing of who the God is. It is as applicable to me as it is to anyone. It simply hold's the worlds intrests in mind."When a diety has made actions that change the world as a whole, or has visibly backed up claims to attack the world (representative by a simple majority of the Pantheon's lands) with either: 1) a direct use of DRP or 2) the forming of a military with size enough to carry out said actions, then it will be the option of each individual member of the Pantheon to declare War on said aggressive diety. This option will also extend to any allies of said agressive diety that is openly supporting said deities actions, either in DRP or military forces or in statements supporting the matter."
