Sundering
A key event in the Order's early history, where the attempt of Tremere, the last remaining Founder, to dominate the Order by declaring himself overlord of the Order in a Grand Tribunal in 850[1] was halted by the intervention of a mysterious group of Magi in 848.[2][1][3]
While Tremere did negotiate peace terms with his Sundering enemies with the intervention of the Primus of House Guernicus, his memories of the event were removed with is consent as part of the agreement, and therefore the architects of the event remain unknown.[1]
In 5th edition the critical events of the Sundering occurred at the now destroyed covenant of Dorostolon in the Theban Tribunal.
Members of House Jerbiton claim or are suspected of taking part on the Sundering,[4] as is Albanus, the second Primus of House Tremere.[1]
