Second Council of Pomariames

When the Stormrift fell around Ferra, the imperials lost the connection to most of their gods. With rising desperation and new heresies and cults springing up to fill the vacuum, Governor Alanus Damian call for a grand council to be held in Pomariames. Many priests, mages, learned men and nobles were in attendance and they systematically reformed the Old Imperial Church into the New Imperial Church.
Old, unresponsive gods were said to have ascended to a even higher plane, beyond the mortal planes reach where as new gods were proclaimed to fill the vacancies. Furthermore, while the New Imperial Church maintained the Emperor of the Old Empire as their theoretical figure head, the governor took control in their absence.
