The Massacre at Viswall marked a turning point in the war. Beepeck, terrified at what would become their city if host to rampaging armies, quickly signed a peace. With the Wesdamerian army successfully reaching Wexkeep, Alina sil Wex suddenly felt uncomfortable fighting this war - it was all well and good when it was a battle taking place in Lencenor, but the cannons outside her palace were a much more intimate problem. Wex sued for a quick peace when Emperor Taliesin uttered the words "Free Damesear" and swiftly contributed three years' treasury to the imperial war effort.
In the Marble City of Wesport, Anna Gerwick was struggling. In the wake of Ogg Brokenhammer's crossing of the Widderoy, and the departure of the Wesdamerian army to Wexkeep, there stood nothing but seven fortresses inbetween herself and the halforc hordes yearning for Alenic blood and treasure.
This, and Aline sil Deranne had fallen into a deep spell of hysteria following the Massacre at Viswall. Forced to stick close to Aline for financial support, Anna grew to loathe the woman. In a way, they needed eachother: Gawed had an army but had forfeited their kingdom with a one-sighted use of it, and Deranne still had a kingdom, yet lacked an army to defend it with. In this state, Anna called for terms.
Terms were... Hard to deliver. Percevan Siloriel was atop an isle in the middle of Uelos' Lament - not exactly in a state to negotiate. Temar would have her killed, certainly. Therefore, a dispatch was sent to Vicerene Arabel Eune of Endralliande, containing an offer designed to appease the weakened Lorentish Kingdom and snub Temar. The lands surrounding Greymill, and a paltry forest in the Reach for a ten years' truce.
It's said that Temar's furious howl could be heard through all of the Small Country.
