The Rule of Chiliad
The Rule of Chiliad was established by Afelthyr, the progenitor dragon, in The Age of The First Gods. Afelthyr would allow a group of mortals to ascend to godhood and rule over their domains for a period of 1,000 years, a Chiliad. The gods would then expire and pass on their divine power to a new worthy being. This was done as a balancing act for the gods to keep them from obtaining too much power and corrupting the world.
