They ignored any attempt to negotiate accepting only absolute surrender or complete destruction. Most of the world could do nothing but fall before them, but a few of earth's greatest power fought back bringing to bear humanities incredible talent for war and destruction. At the end unable to overcome the Sidhe strange powers the humans acted out of desperation and unleased weapons they had sworn to never use again.
