1457 (WOD)

Events

• 1455-1487: The War of the Roses between the houses of York and Lancaster, both contenders to the english throne.^[1]
• 1440-1457: Mages travel the world, finding and recruiting willworkers of all disciplines and styles.^[2]
• Grand Convocation of the Traditions begins in Horizon (ends in 1466)^{[3][4][5][6][7]}. Huge, fractious gathering which eventually gives birth to the Nine Traditions. Politicking, infighting, duels and outright war mark the event. Many sects and fellowships either merge or drop out entirely; Madzimbabwe join Thanatoic sect; Taftâni, Ngoma and others attend, but refuse to be subsumed into existing groups. In anger, some Tradition mages declare such sorcerers Disparate.^[8][9] The Solificati join the nascent Traditions at this point.^[10][11] One of the reasons the Convocation takes so long is the need to create a magickal paradigm which accounts for hundreds of disparate praxes.^[2]
• Sister Bernadette joins the Chœur Céleste.^[12]
• Sometime during the Grand Convocation of the Traditions, Primus Nightshade discovers the Winter Castle.^[13]
