• At the age of 105, the half-elven King Orris of Neptaris abdicates his crown after failing to resolve a rebellion by Politos of House Rimman. As his last act of office, Orris designates his mentor, Regent Joandar, to select his successor. He then takes the cloth and becomes a monk of Clementia the Dove.

• The Second Neptaran Ecumenical Council is held by the priests of Neptaris to revoke the trust King Orris had placed in Regent Joandar to select a new King. The people of Neptaris rise up against Joandar and he is stoned on the steps of the Temple of Clementia. Later that year, the Council selects Tivan Laes of House Kraegar to become the new ruler of the city. Furthermore, they issued the Rule of Neptaris, which renamed the royal ruler "Neptarch" and established the Church of Betshaba as the authority through which all nobles would be granted the right to rule.
