=The Truce of Thaga Rise=
The greatly weakened Stormlords would spend the next five or six generations after the Three-Way War rebuilding their holdings in the Steppe. During this time, the other tribes which had formed the Nation of the Thunderhead alongside the Stormlords would migrate back north to the scarred Central Lands to start anew, seemingly free of Stormlord control. They would come to mingle with the Vashialian, Benaloran, and Weylosian remnants who decided to settle there away from their old masters, forming a new society free of the old powers. This society, as history knows, would eventually become the Empire of For'Channar.

In the beginning of the Empire, the Steppe was left alone. Though the Stormlords were weakened, the tribes returning to the Central Lands passed on tales of their savagery, their power, and their control of the Sky Devourer. Such stories were enough for the growing Empire to steer clear of the Stormlords and their lands. '''Alexius I''', the fifth Emperor, would however see things differently. By his time, the Empire had expanded west to Phrennoack due to the grace of the Eltyain people, and east to the Drakonid Highlands after a hard-fought war with its natives. The next logical step was to move southwards. Given that the Stormlords were still weakened, the Imperial forces managed to march south into the Steppe until the Stormlords were able to stop them at the '''Thaga Rise''' along the foothills of the Benalor Mountains. A battle later and the Stormlords signed a truce with the Empire as long as they would not go any further south. The truce was respected, though the Empire would soon build the town of '''Thagaisa''', an outpost which would evolve into a fort.
