Three Dogmas

Eventually, both humans and beasts grew tired of the long years of war. However, neither side was able ot strike a decisive blow, and none knew a way to stop the cycle of wars and bring the entire gruesome conflict ot an end.
In this never-ending cycle, a new faction was bron. Composed of both humans and beasts, the new faction concentrated on pure pursuit of power and incorporated the crest technology derided by humans and the steam technology loathed by beasts.
Both humans and beasts feared that this new faction woudl enter the war, and each side sent emissaries to the other and called for a ceasefire. At first, both races were hesitant, but they were forced to accept the sheer toll brought on by the war.
And so the war between the two races ended... But the conflict continued. Beasts continued to insist on participating in the Gods' Rebirth, and the new faction proclaimed their participation as well.
Humans chanted for "steam technology and innovation". Beasts were for "crest technology and tradition." And the new faction for "the pure pursuit of power".
They began a quiet, colder war. No winner was decided in this war, since no gods were born from any of these forces. The three-way war smoldered, and in time the factions came to be called the following:
Arvakv the Innovators
Ogmios the Conservatives
Teutates the Pursuers.
To this day, the three-way war knows no end, and it quietly drives the world ever closer to its doom.
