On or around 11 Qushrabash, the Order of the Returning Sun launched their attempted assault upon the Hallows of Baitha, a pantheonic temple complex now popularly known as the Ashen Hallows. Although they apparently did not capture or destroy the complex, their razing of the city of Baitha itself and the subsequent closing of the Hallows to all outsiders has since been enshrined as the widely accepted end date of the Order's purge of Agratekt.


On or around 11 Qushrabash, the Order of the Returning Sun razed the urban center of Baitha and nearby settlements, then attempted to assault the Hallows of Baitha, the most renowned pantheonic temple complex in Agratekt.   The complex's exact fate is uncertain: The Order's forces never occupied the complex, and the complex's ruins remain largely intact and the best-preserved historic site in Agratekt. Yet most of the once sizable populace of Baitha was unaccounted for in the aftermath of the razings and attempted assault, and both Agratekti and foreign traffic to the Hallows, once a popular pilgrimate site, ceased altogether. It is popularly believed that the sheer abundance of temples to ancient Agratekti deities ensured the complex was shielded even from the wrath of the Order and the One Light, but the complex's inhabitants either closed off the temples to outsiders or gradually evacuated the place.
