Perhaps the single defining event in the history of the Order of Hermes since its foundation, the Schism War wiped House Diedne from the Order and had substantial ramifications for many of the Order's institutions and organizations.[1]
The Schism War happened in early eleventh century, after the crisis of House Tremere in the ninth century, which resulted in the Sundering, and the Corruption of House Tytalus in the 10th century.
The Schism War was terribly divisible and remains a haunting memory to this day.
The Houses and the Schism War
- House Diedne was by all appearances destroyed as a direct result of the Schism War,[2][3] after being under suspicion of diabolism and human sacrifice.[4]
- House Tytalus was headed at the time by fifth Prima Kalliste, who was widely mistrusted in her own House and perceived to be following the lead of House Guernicus meekly. Before the Schism War was fully resolved, Kalliste was murdered by a filius of her successor, Klynoites the sixth Prima.[3]
- House Guernicus attempted a peaceful solution and ended up assaulting House Diedne among terrible internal conflict.[2]
- House Ex Miscellanea was headed by Primus Basilicus.[5]
- House Flambeau, headed by Primus Entisimon, generally approved of the War and enabled it by having many among its ranks decree Wizard Wars against members of House Diedne. Eventually Entisimon rallied the whole House against House Diedne at a famous speech at Val-Negra.[4]
- House Jerbiton largely kept apart, choosing instead to help in the period of reconstruction.[6]
