Since people don't care for my attempts at theology, what about the following: Though little recognized, the disaster which created the Eerith caused scars which still affect Qaiyore today. Religiously it became important not to unite the worship of different deities. Cults and priesthoods became very separated and a polite disinterest in differing religious practices became a tradition secrecy and division. Magic was also affected. Group magic, never common, was questioned and faded into oblivion. The voluntary use of non-mages as supporters in magic was anathematized. Socially, rulers began permitting more independence and initiative from their followers; eventually leading to the modern republics.
