Atotarho’s forces advance across the region, destroying villages and attempting to end the movement for peace before it can unite the nations. Dekanawida foresees a great darkness and calls on Baji, Hiyawento and the surviving companions to make one final effort against military domination.
The conclusion brings prophecy, battle and political negotiation together around the founding of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Victory depends not simply on defeating Atotarho but on persuading traumatised communities to accept common law and to recognise that peace requires limits on the revenge each nation believes it is owed.
