Holy Proclamation

Hatred and resentment overwhelmed Leushlan and Seilsan. After the assassination of their emperor, Elodia held an even stronger hostility towards the tiefling race. Harsher treatments and tactics were used to ensure their subhuman status in Leushlan. Campaigns began to call for the complete eradication of the race to cleanse the city of 'animal filth.' While not every elf agreed with this, a vocal minority did, and many already believed the tieflings were beyond helping and turned a blind eye to the atrocities.

The new Elodian tactic was obliteration. By this point, so many tieflings had already been ripped from their families or slaughtered. Seilsan's landscape was in ruins due to the constant raids of destruction. The tieflings took the full month of Kaliem in deep prayer, begging their goddess Kaliepys to do something - anything - to give them some peace in the upcoming time.

On the 35th of the month, after many had lost hope, Kaliepys responded. There is no other recorded instance in history where a deity spoke directly to such a wide audience. "Those who would choose to enslave their fellow races are met with disgust in the gods' eyes." she broadcasted above Elodia. "You were all blessed with the right of pleasure, and it is not a mortal's decision to change a god's will. You, for so long, have disregarded the word of your world's creators and this will not be forgotten once you are claimed by death. An intelligent being should know better than to disregard the laws of your Broken Earth. Those that wish to disobey the gods can expect pain and misery for eternity."

No one dared defy the direct words of a deity. The enslaved teiflings were freed, and granted safe passage to their homeland. Raids ceased, and the Elodian economy for the first time in a long time, began to decline as their production decreased. Seilsan's cities and villages began to mend and celebrate their god-mandated freedom. The 35th of Kaliem is an extremely important and heavily celebrated holiday for tieflings all over the Broken Earth.
