History

Before the creation of the council, several wars had raged in Otan, most notably the Grendel War, with Nickar Nurzat and Zoranthar Zhanat on opposite sides of the conflict. Regardless of the intent of either side, the constant state of war threatened to bring extinction to all of Otan. It was Shardenzar Sardarbek who intervened to bring about the Concord of Kala Astanals, in which Nickar, Zoranthar and leaders of the warring countries of Otan agreed to cease all major conflict.
