One of the earliest, and possibly most memorable, events in its history was the funeral of [[Nicator]] where [[Priest]]s and [[Occultist]]s, [[Serpent|Serpents]] and [[Druid|Druids]] all stood side by side in peace, unified in their mourning. In the words of the architect [[Lantis DeGage]]: "It could have been the first and last time that the Basilica would ever be crammed with so diverse a group." [http://www.achaea.com/seleucar14.htm] Also notable was the Basilica's role as a haven for Delosian refugees during the [[Wars of Succession]], though it did not stop the forces of [[Castomira Brangwin]] from seeking out and murdering the family of [[Damen Kephry]]. | One of the earliest, and possibly most memorable, events in its history was the funeral of [[Nicator]] where [[Priest]]s and [[Occultist]]s, [[Serpent|Serpents]] and [[Druid|Druids]] all stood side by side in peace, unified in their mourning.

In [[Modern Age|modern times]], the Church petitioned to [[Sarapis]] to move the Basilica to Shallam. The first formal [[marriage|wedding]] was held here in the year 196 AF in the Wedding Chamber of [[Maya]] between Changcoix and Morlana. Some years later, in 217 AF, the Goddess [[Aurora]] helped to organise a choir for [[orphans]] to join, led by [[Handel]], the Choirmaster. Tragedy befell the Basilica in 288 AF when it was destroyed in the events surrounding the coming of [[Varian]] and the [[Aetolian Saga]]. However, thanks to the efforts of the [[Gods]] [[Lorielan]] and [[Pentharian]], the Basilica was rebuilt in 301 AF. In 568 AF the Basilica was disintegrated by the Te'Serra, preceding the formation of the crystalline [[Citadel of Light]], which stands today on the site of the former Shallamese Royal Palace. On the site of the old Basilica the [[High Altar of Pasiphae]] was raised to commemorate the first Rite of Passing, the altar itself lost with the destruction of Shallam in 612 AF. | In [[Modern Age|modern times]], the Church petitioned to [[Sarapis]] to move the Basilica to Shallam.
