Forged two months into the Gimhak War (1475 - 1503), the Eye-Skull Pact was a military alliance between the Black Tide of Thasmudyan and the Orchish Empire.

The Eye-Skull Pact opened a second front in the hills of Gathol and Sorrow Pass, the southern territory of the Gimhak Monarchy. Lasting from 1475 to 1477, the fall of Strumpktar brought an end to Gimhak's southern possessions. A side deal between the city-state of Alreirsoar and Paradomea put forth the idea that Sorrow Pass and Gathol be made a demilitarized zone. Scoffing at the idea, the Dead Council and their growing undead legions, welcomed a fight. Behind the scenes of these political talks, widely published in Paradomea City and Vraga Moltus, deals were made for safe corridors, away from the Black Tide's wandering undead and their lawless elements. Needing trade with the great cities of Hells Womb, the Orchish Empire backed the idea, forcing the Black Tide to give something up.

Pinth - So we give them a twenty mile strip safe-zone, along and in the Foronir river, for trade and commerce, and spies ?

Dax - We can benefit from this. A trade highway across a war zone, supplying the great capitals of the south and the warmongers of the north.

Rax - And the Fograth on our right, ready to pounce at the slightest sign of weakness.

Garn - We keep what we win.
