Attacking a House's icon became an accepted means of making war between Houses. Icon degradation could be increased through the employment of [[Icon Alchemists]], even unto collapse. Born from the power of the icons themselves, icon alchemists were denizens able to chip away at enemy House icons when commanded, and they were commanded so often. Though the icons were virtually invulnerable during the twenty four phases through which they shifted over the course of a [[month]], they were completely defenseless during one of them. Knowledge of a House icon's phase of vulnerability was thus a closely guarded secret, and one coveted by every other House in the inevitable Icon Wars which plagued the two and a half centuries of their existence. | Attacking a House's icon became an accepted means of making war between Houses.

[[Lorielan]]'s summoning of the [[Ventos Allegros]] with a shard of the [[Sceptre of Divinity]] on the plane of [[Nishnatoba]] in 671 AF shook the free-standing icons to their cores. The ritual violently disrupted them until each ultimately collapsed, ushering an end to the Age of Icons. | ||
