The First Schism

Political event

As Energetics knowledge expands, members within the First Circle begin to disagree over how this newfound power should be used. The conservative faction, led by a practitioner named Eldris the Pure, argues for restricted use of Energetics, focusing solely on healing and protection. Meanwhile, the progressive faction, led by Mira of the Storm, advocates for its potential in warfare, exploration, and other domains.

• Result: Tensions reach a breaking point, and the First Circle fractures, creating two powerful factions: the Order of the Sanctum (conservative) and the Free Guild (progressive).
• Lasting Impact: The schism begins a power struggle that spans generations, as each faction vies for control over Energetics knowledge, leading to the gradual codification of techniques as either “sacred” or “forbidden.”
