1003-12 The Schism War:
1003 House Tremere declares Wizard's War against House Díedne.
1004 House Flambeau also declares Wizard's War against House Díedne.
1005 (Tribunal) The Quaesitors produce evidence that House Díedne has committed diabolism and Renounce the entire House.
1006 By now the war has spread to every House, an uncontrollable free-for-all of old grudges and petty feuding.

1015 The final hostilities of the Schism War cease.

1095 The Crusades begin.
1096 (Grand Tribunal) The Levant is recognised as the 13th Tribunal.
1117-24 The Shaman War:
1117 Shamans and shapeshifters ambush and slay several Hermetic Magi on their way to Tribunal. Only Magi of Houses Flambeau, Merinita and Tremere are targeted.
1119 Deunan ex Flambeau rescues her amicus, Cedar ex Flambeau, captured in the first wave of attacks. Cedar's knowledge of the shamans' tactics and strength proves crucial.
1123 (Winter Solstice) The Winter March: Bullatus, Primus of Guernicus, leads a strike force of over 70 Magi, including every surviving Hoplite, against the shamans' primary stronghold (located in the spiritworld). More than half the shamans and shapeshifters involved are slain, at the cost of 22 Magi.
(Autumn Equinox) Gwyntar ex Bonisagus and Deunan ex Flambeau invent the "Aegis against Shamans", which is immediately circulated throughout the Order.
