== History ==
At the conclusion of the [[Manywar]] around three hundred years ago, the Court of Gods formed, as the royals were driven to the highlands.{{book ref|warbreaker|7}}
 
The Court of Gods formed a treaty with [[Idris]] in approximately the year 307, in which King [[Dedelin]] would send his daughter to be married to [[Susebron]], the God King. This treaty would further legitimize the Courts claim to rule in [[Hallandren]], as an heir would have the royal blood and presumably Royal Locks (something the people of Hallandren desired).{{book ref|warbreaker|2}}
 
In the year 327, the Court of Gods was challenged by the [[Pahn Kahl]] rebellion. The people of Hallandren were mad at the Gods, who had become complacent and apathetic towards the needs of the people. It had been 3 years since a God had sacrificed their Divine Breath to heal someone.{{book ref|warbreaker|12}} This rebellion was supported by [[Idris]] via their spy [[Lemex]], along with several slumlords.{{book ref|warbreaker|31}}
 
The rebellion was quelled when [[Bluefingers]] informed the court of [[Vahr]]'s location, after which he was captured and tortured in one of their dungeons. He was kept alive as the court desired his breath.{{book ref|warbreaker|prologue}} His capture and eventual death at the hands of [[Vasher]] effectively ended the rebellion.
 
Around this time, Dedelin decided to send his youngest daughter, [[Siri]], instead of his oldest daughter [[Vivenna]], as the treaty had not stipulated which daughter would be married to [[Susebron]]. This agitated the court, spurring more talk of war.{{book ref|warbreaker|1}}
 
Had Idris sent nobody, it would have meant all out war.{{book ref|warbreaker|6}} The argument against the war was the lands held by the Idrians was undesirable and cold. The main argument for the war was to claim and protect the trade routes, as being cut off from them would lead to full economic collapse in [[T'Telir]].{{book ref|warbreaker|5}}

A [[Reacher]] in [[Celebrant]] tries to sell a painting from the Court of Gods to [[Kaladin]] for three hundred [[broam]]s worth of [[Stormlight]]. The painting, by [[Nenefra]], seems to Kaladin to depict nine shadows, with a figure kneeling in the middle (the [[Unmade]] and [[Odium]]'s champion). The painting is small, painted from thick strokes of oil. It has red and black colors, and seems sloppy, as if it had been carelessly painted with a knife.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
