Foundation of the Modarite Cult

Religious event

The date when the first official High Priest of the Cult of Modaris was elected by a secret conclave of Modarite priests. Marks the official creation of the cult as an organized religion.

Although the cult was present before this in some limited regard, after the first High Priest's "election", the cult really began to skyrocket, particularly in and around the capital city itself and the surrounding area. Though the Caleian Empire ignored it at first, by the 14th century, things had changed and the cult had gained such popularity as to be considered a serious threat. This culminated with Valerian's reign, when the religion was officially banned and its leaders executed.
