Schism War

Perhaps the single defining event in the history of the Order of Hermes since its foundation, the Schism War wiped House Diedne from the Order and had substantial ramifications for many of the Order's institutions and organizations.

The Schism War happened in early eleventh century, after the crisis of House Tremere in the ninth century and of House Tytalus in the 10th century.
