The gods of the various African pantheons came together in 600 AD, after Morgan le Fay took control of the Darkholde and tried to release Chthon on the world.

The African gods formed a mutual defense agreement under this pact. It also ensured that venerated ancestor spirits would be free to find the realm closest to their harmony, and that adoration of the ancestors would contribute to the harmony of the demesne they had picked for their afterlife.

The Compact also stated that animal, rock, and plant spirits were free to roam as well. The Compact forbade direct intervention in the wars between mortal tribes and nations.

If any God broke the Compact, they would face judgement from one of the Mlinzi who are beholden to the Compact's terms. A Mlinizi is a godling that has equal membership in different pantheons. Baset is one such Mlinizi. To avoid having to face a Mlinizi, the various African pantheons of the Compact used more minor spirits to advance their objectives than other pantheons. There are far too many pantheons to list that made up of the Compact of Alkebulan, but the most notable are the Ennead, the Akan, the Orisha, The Assembly of Loa, the Zulu, and the Bantu.
