Covenant

This is an agreement made amongst the Great Wyrms following the The Wyrm Wars. In an effort to make sure that the destruction seen during The Wars would never happen again they agreed to never directly fight each other again. To settle disputes they would choose champions to act for them on the mortal realm and pit them against each other that way.

In the year 2940 AGU during the events of The Cleansing Storm Mancos broke the Covenant and attacked the Kingdom of Galdaria but the other Great Wyrms would not break the Covenant to stop him. Instead they placed their faith in the mortals and chose champions among the heroes of the Shattered Kingdoms. Their faith was not misplaced and Mancos was turned to stone.
