White-Gold Concordat

The White-Gold Concordat was a peace treaty between the Third Aldmeri Dominion and the Septim Empire as a means to end the Great War that was being fought between them. Signed in 4E 175, the treaty banned worship of the hero-god Talos, disbanded the Blades, gave the Dominion permission to move throughout the Empire and eliminate any remaining Talos worshipers or Blades members, as well as giving a large portion of Hammerfell to the Dominion. The conditions of the agreement were very pro-Dominion, though it was the only way to bring peace and preservation between both powers. Many became very hostile towards the conditions of the treaty, especially about the outlawing of the worship of Talos. This eventually led to the Stormcloak Rebellion, a conflict between some of the Stormcloaks and the Imperial Legion stationed in Skyrim. Another civil war broke out in Hammerfell when the Redguards rebelled against the Aldmeri presence in their home province.
