The Erudites are in the aftermath of a civil war. Your side, the Heretics blew a chunk of the planet away and they decided to stop fighting before they really make a mess, but don't expect access to their city just because the war is stopped.

This isn't even correct, the Erudites blew up Odus, not the Heretics.

Well actually the Heretics are Erudites.
The correct lore is that when it was discovered that some erudites had started to practice necromancy, they were branded heretics and banished from Erudin.

A war of powerful magic started between the two factions and it escalated to such enormous proportions that a big chunk of Odus was blown off into space where it crashed into Luclin, a tribe of Kerrans was on that chunk and the survivors became the ancestors of the Vah Shir.
The chunk also left a big hole on Odus, called 'The Hole'.

Both sides of the Erudites were shocked by what their war had caused and ended it. The heretics, who had almost been wiped out, fled into the mountains at first but started building a new city in secret, the city was built in The Hole and was named Paineel.

So the hole was caused by both the good and evil Erudites, the story also serves to demonstrate the superior magic abilities of the race as well as how they almost wiped themselves out because of it.
