1210 (WOD)

Events

• 1210 - 1266: Scourge of the Huns. Massive armies ravage Asia, Europe, Middle East. Akashic Brotherhood, Dalou'laoshi, Taftâni, and Wu Lung decimated in fighting and take decades to recover old strength.^[1][2]

• Spring
  • Craftsmason Covenant. Sick of Hermetic depredations, decimated by magickal plagues, several trade and artisan guilds unite with Craftmasons in southern France.^[1][2]

• Winter
  • Fall of Mistridge. A mob of commoners led by a group calling themselves Craftmasons (masterminded by Stephen Trevanus) destroy the sanctum of Mistridge. The Craftmasons use cannons. Siege ends when Hermetic traitor (possibly the warlock Grimgroth^[3]) opens a secret passage into the castle. Few mages escape. Initially assuming the Craftmasons to be catspaws of the Tremere^[4], the Order of Hermes doesn't immediately recognize the significance of this act. Later, the event is retroactively declared the official beginning of the Ascension War.^{[5][1][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][2][16][17][18][19][20]}
