A '''Reckoning''' is a series of events used by the elusive [[Conclave]] to select new leadership or membership. There have been two such events in modern history. | |||
== The First Reckoning == | |||
The first "Reckoning" took place in 656 AF when the wizard [[Maklak]] challenged [[Yudhishthira]] for control of the Conclave. Quoting the [[Rules of the Reckoning]], each side took twenty-eight [[months]] to demonstrate their worthiness and used [[adventurers]] as tools to battle for control. Each of the two [[Conclave]] members recognised this to be a personal challenge and agreed not to hold grudges against either the adventurers or their [[:Category:Organisations|organisations]] beyond the limits of the trial itself. During this time, the city of [[Cyrene]] experienced its [[House Renaissance]] and the [[:Category:Protean relics|Protean relics]] were unleashed upon the world. In the end, the [[Greater Dragon]] Yudhishthira utterly and completely defeated Maklak before returning to his proper place in [[Polyargos]] where he stands ready to lead the Conclave to greater heights than ever before. | |||
== The Second Reckoning == | |||
In the year 825 AF, the Conclave announced they would be recruiting a fifth member to replace the imprisoned Maklak. Anyone who deemed themselves worthy of the seat was able to apply. After the deadline for applications had passed there were fifteen applicants. The first stage of selection began with a worldwide referendum and the top five moved on. | |||
