The Dragon Lords introduced what came to be known as the Treaty of Valmyr, named after the valley where the Dragon Lords gathered the leaders of each faction to dictate terms.
Simon did not know much about the treaty but from what little information he had, it enforced territorial boundaries, the ceasefire of assault, restriction of forbidden magic and sanctuary for minor and weak races.
The Treaty of Valmyr brought an end to the Second Apex War, ushering in an era of uneasy peace. The balance it enforced allowed the world to recover, but the scars of the war remained.
Of course, all of this was in the future, in the current timeline none of this had happened yet. That said, knowing the information about the future gave Simon an advantage that allowed him to manipulate the situation the way he did right now.
