A meeting called by the high priests of several Heavenly Council deities and the leaders of the kingdom of Iskendra, which eventually resulted in the creation of the Palladian Empire.
The Palladian Era
The Palladian Era marks the beginning of the reign of the Palladian Empire, an imperialistic and theocratic state that spread across much of Nioa, Auloa, and Iroa. While it brought peace and prosperity to many, its expansionist policies and culture of slavery and zealotry created a violent environment in its border territories. The Era ended with the Sundering Arcana and the return of arcane magic to all the mortal races of Holos.
Second Intermediate Period
1 IP2-256 IP2
Following the Reckoning of Temekan and the Exile Arcana, much of the world of Holos was plagued by war and violence. Without the explicit guidance of the gods, mortals relied on the works of others whom claimed a personal relationship with the divine. This period continued until the Council of Dazimon when a group of religious scholars and political leaders in the city of Iskendra established the Palladian Empire.

The Palladian Era marks the beginning of the reign of the Palladian Empire, an imperialistic and theocratic state that spread across much of Nioa, Auloa, and Iroa. While it brought peace and prosperity to many, its expansionist policies and culture of slavery and zealotry created a violent environment in its border territories. The Era ended with the Sundering Arcana and the return of arcane magic to all the mortal races of Holos. Holosian history is broken into distinct four distinct Eras: the Dawn Era, the Mithril Era, the Palladian Era, and the Sundered Era. A fifth Era known as the Twilight Era is prophesized in many cultures. Each Era records dates consecutively, with the dates accumulating over time (i.e., 1 SE occurred one year after the last year in the Palladian Era, 998 PE). These dates have been agreed upon largely by scholars from the colleges in Iskendra and Placidia and were codified in 238 SE. They are largely unknown by common folk, who instead refer to time as however many years prior to the present an event occurred.
