=== The Split of Five Scholars ===
As the Manywar began, the Five Scholars each seemed to go their own way.{{book ref|wb|32}} It appears likely that [[Vasher]] and [[Shashara]], as husband and wife, remained on the same side. It is also likely that the brothers, [[Arsteel]] and Yesteel, also stayed together. [[Denth]] began the war attempting to make peace, but eventually joined Vasher's side.{{

=== Return of Kalad's Phantoms ===
At some point during the war, Vasher grew sick of battle and war, possibly due to what he saw Nightblood do in battle. He decided to end the Manywar by returning his Phantoms from battle to Hallandren. He took control of his own nation in an effort to end the fighting, which ended up being successful.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} The threat of his armies was enough to frighten the all of the nations into ending the war.{{book ref|wb|58}} He was then called Peacegiver by the Hallandren who could not understand why he had ended the war.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} Vasher then Commanded the Lifeless to stay put like statues, a gift for the city,{{book ref|wb|58}} leaving them Invested with enough Breath to hold their shape, but not to move.{{

=== Shattering of Hanald ===
==== Formation of Idris ====
After the House of Idris and its servants fled T'Telir, they moved to the northern highlands of Hanald.{{book ref|wb|1}} They established a kingdom there, named Idris after the family. The Idrians, who had previously experimented with Awakening, turned their backs on the art as a whole.{{book ref|wb|46}} The Idrians brought their religion, [[Austrism]], with them. They used its tenets to make Awakening sound immoral and evil. This fear of Awakening impacted Idrians greatly, their culture was in fact shaped by it. Many superstitions grew up around Awakening.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=25}} For example, Idrians always wore drab colors, such as black, white, or tans, so Awakeners could not use that color.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=1}} However, this was not true, an Awakener could use those colors anyway. It was a symbolic gesture. Idrians, for the most part, were totally ignorant about the way Awakening worked, due to their
==== Formation of Hallandren ====
In the wake of the Idrian Royal family's departure, and Vasher's step down from military dictatorship, the Cult of the Returned took control of the new nation, naming it Hallandren.{{book ref|wb|32}} Their religion eventually evolved into the [[Iridescent Tones]], became the norm within Hallandren's territory. The only notable exception was in Pahn Kahl, which was absorbed into the new nation of Hallandren as a province

=== Kalad's Phantoms ===
Over time, the specifics of Kalad's Phantoms were forgotten and they became known as the D'Denir,{{book ref|wb|58}} statues that had been a gift from Peacegiver as a memorial to the thousands killed{{book ref|wb|5}} in the Manywar,{{book ref|wb|28}} as well as a reminder
=== Lingering Tensions Between Nations ===
While the war itself was over, the tensions between the nations never fully vanished. Tedradel's hatred of Hallandren, in particular, would remain strong well over three centuries later.{{book ref|wb|1}} Pahn Kahl, too, hated Hallandren
=== Poor Relations Between Idris & Hallandren ===
Idris and Hallandren would keep an uneasy peace for the next three hundred years. Since the Royals took the blood of [[Vo]], the first Returned, with them, they had a legitimate claim to the throne of T'Telir, a worry to many Hallandren.{{book ref|wb|32}} Hallandren still considered the Idrians to be rebel province within the borders of their nation.{{book ref|wb|16}} In addition to old hatreds, Idris controlled mountain passes that allowed trade routes to nations in the north, as well as copper mines. Hallandren was enraged by this, and often felt that the tariffs charged by the Idrians were too high.{{book ref|wb|5}}
Eventually, about twenty years before the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]], King [[Dedelin]] of Idris and [[Susebron]] of Hallandren arranged a treaty where Dedelin would send one of his daughters to marry the God King, in hopes of forestalling war and easing the rising tensions between the two nations.{{book ref|wb|1}} The daughter would reintroduce the blood of the First Returned to the lineage of Hallandren, reinforcing the God King's claim on the throne. The promise of this daughter kept Hallandren aggression towards Idris at a minimum, at least until they got their bride.
