In the year 775 AH, the High Council of Stavenn sent scholars into Caanae under the guise of architects looking to build a temple to [[Avasyu]]. In reality, they were stealing mathematical formulas from the astronomers of the [[Academia Sylvalis]] that allowed one to calculate the trajectory of shooting stars. The scholars returned to Stavenn and turned over the formulas to [[Czezlo Tota]], who used them to create the blueprint for a massive siege machine that could catapult boulders through the air with terrifying and deadly accuracy. Those machines would be used against Caanae in the [[War of Avarice]], which began sometime near the year 850 AH and lasted for approximately seven years. Both Stavenn and Caanae claimed victory in this war, and both were left severely weakened and lacking supplies. | In the year 775 AH, the High Council of Stavenn sent scholars into Caanae under the guise of architects looking to build a temple to [[Avasyu]].

The [[Horde]] that decimated the city of | The [[Horde]] that decimated the city of Caanae in the year 100 AA did not travel further south to attack Stavenn, which ultimately led to the city's rise to dominance over Aetherius in the early [[Second Age]]. Survivors of the attack on Caanae fled to Stavenn and begrudgingly became citizens, and the city was allowed to flourish for several years with almost no outside interference; the greatest threat to Stavenn actually came from within. Underground groups of [[magick]] users alarmed Stavenn's High Council and provoked [[Gautier Lajos]] to pass a law in the year 150 AA that prohibited the use of magick within the city. | ||
The law did not stop [[Ayasha Gazali|Ayasha]] and [[Galen Gazali]] from finding fellow practitioners of magick and banding together. Their sect became known as the [[Noctusari]] | |||
