Tragedy befell the basilica in 288 AF when it was destroyed in events surrounding the coming of [[Varian|Other]] and the [[Aetolian Saga]]. However, thanks to the efforts of the [[Gods]] [[Lorielan]] and [[Pentharian]], the Chrysalis Basilica was rebuilt in 301 AF, the new floor plan larger and more airy than the first.

It was here that the [[Holy Codex]] and later [[Codex of Light]] were ensconced upon a pillar of light.
