=== The God Kings ===
After Peacegiver stopped the war he gave his [[Breath|Breaths]] to a priest in T’Telir,{{book ref|wb|58}} this priest would go on and become the first God king. With the Royals driven out, the [[Cult of the Returned]] took over and the Court of Gods was formed.{{book ref|warbreakerwb|7}}
 
Four more children would become God kings, all of them would be called Susebron. Susebron the third died giving away his breath to save the people in a raided village{{book ref|wb|27}} while Susebron the fourth died to heal a plague of Distrentia.{{book ref|wb|27}} Eventually [[Susebron]] the fifth returned and became king.
 
=== Treaty with Idris ===
The Court of Gods formed a treaty with [[Idris]] in approximately the year 307, in which was written that King [[Dedelin]] of [[Idris]] would send his daughter to be married to [[Susebron]] the fifth, the God King of [[Hallandren]]. This treaty would further legitimize the Court’s 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|warbreakerwb|2}}

=== Rebellion ===
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|warbreakerwb|12}} This rebellion was supported by [[Idris]] via their spy [[Lemex]], along with several slumlords.{{book ref|warbreakerwb|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|warbreakerwb|prologue}} His capture and eventual death at the hands of [[Vasher]] effectively ended the rebellion.
 
=== A new Queen ===
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|warbreakerwb|1}}
 
Had Idris sent nobody, it would have meant all out war.{{book ref|warbreakerwb|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}}
 
Siri's arrival started the Wedding Jubilation within the court, which was a weeklong celebration. This marked the first time they'd had a queen in thirty years.{{book ref|warbreakerwb|8}}
