Splintered Resolve (Malek Weakens)

Steel Realms

It is documented that there are multiple points in the history of the god Malek’s time on Helca that his power has diminished. Were it not for the Godspeak Accord, it is though that this weakening would have left him dead on the battlefield against any of the other divine entities.

It is generally believed that like the Unholy Trio, distrust crept into their dealings with each other the more powerful they became. This is not true, their distrust arose when unbeknownst to all the gods, Malek broke the Godspeak Accord; he tried to kill each one of them – breaking off 5 pieces of himself to send against them. He knew they would not succeed, but each failed assassin, in different forms, spilled their blood upon the target in a fight, forever allowing Malek to subtly introduce paranoia in their ranks and limit their influence. This has worked.
