The Era of Silent Strains

Founding

During this time, minor factions and solo practitioners begin developing covert techniques and Threads without the oversight of the First Energetic Circle. Techniques classified as “Silent Strains” emerge as practitioners experiment with healing, stealth, and resistance Threads. These techniques are often refined in secrecy, as practitioners fear backlash from conservative factions.

• Influence on Other Events: The First Schism (1048-1085) intensifies when it’s discovered that the progressive faction within the First Circle has secretly cataloged some of these Silent Strains. This revelation fuels distrust and sets a precedent for unauthorized experimentation.
• Lasting Impact: Silent Strains are often forbidden but persist in underground movements, influencing future rebellions and inspiring the techniques later seen in the Silent Rebellion (1304-1331).
