| A '''Reckoning''' is a series of events used by the secretive [[Conclave]] of Wizards to select new leadership or membership. There have been two such events in [[modern]] history.
| | The '''Conclave''' is a band of mystics that were tied to the disruption of the [[Ethian]] cycle and the destruction of the [[landmarks]]. Its known members include [[Hycanthus]], [[Haag]], [[O'ising]], and their leader, the now [[:Category:Greater Dragons|Greater Red Dragon]] [[Yudhishthira]]. Former member include the ice wizard [[Maklak]] who is imprisoned in ice on the [[Elemental Plane of Water]]. |
|

|
| == The First Reckoning ==
| | Originally appearing during the [[Reflection Incident]], the group also played an important role in the [[Birth of Destruction]], resulting in the creation of the [[God|Goddess]] [[Makali]], and were obviously at the centre of what came to be known as the [[Conclave Reckoning|First Reckoning]] in the year 656 AF. |
| The first Reckoning took place in 656 AF when the wizard [[Maklak]] challenged [[Yudhishthira]] for leadership of the Conclave of Wizards. Quoting the [[Rules of the Reckoning]], each side took twenty-eight [[months]] to demonstrate their worthiness and used [[adventurers]] and their champions [[Oughlor]] and [[Torrid Rakia]] 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]], [[:Category:Protean relics|Protean relics]] were unleashed upon the world, and the [[:category:Conclave talisman set|Conclave-themed talisman set]] was developed. 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, Yudhishthira called for a [[Conclave Reckoning|Second Reckoning]], to fill the vacant seat last held by the captured Maklak. |
| 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. | |

| ===The Reckoning Championship===
| | [[Haag]], Third of the Conclave |
| Just fifteen days after the referendum results the top five contenders moved on to the second round of selection. During the Reckoning the supporters of each contestant showcased their strength, cunning and wit in order to continue to the next round. This round consisted of a number of different activities where cities and rogues would throw their support behind a candidate and help them collect facets to be fused to the Impious Sceptre.
| |
|
| |
|
| Facets were collected in a variety of ways:
| | [[O'ising]], Fourth of the Conclave |
| * Defeating a Champion awarded one (1) facet.
| |
| * Conquering an Outpost awarded a fragment of a facet, of which three (3) were needed for a whole.
| |
| * A written essay on ''Why Your Candidate Deserves to Win'' awarded twenty (20) facets and was won by Ashtan for Maim.
| |
| * A series of riddles deciphered by Jurixe won five (5) facets for Sevet.
| |
| * Defeat of the final champion, [[Yudhishthira]]'s [[Torrid Rakia]], by Crixos, won five (5) facets for Sevet.

| After sixteen (16) months of hard fought battles between the supporters and commanders of each candidate, Pryla'ari, Priestess of Life, earned enough facets to claim the fifth seat of The Conclave. In her final test she summoned magic from the Tower of Falaq'tor to eradicate the [[Barrier_shards|Barrier Shards]] that Yudhishthira himself created. After this final act of power all four members of the Conclave agreed to her induction.
