Iconoclasm and Backlash: 407-416

The way in which the Order had united against the perpetrators of the Nonae Fidelitatan Incident left many convinced that there would never again be cause for even the most dubious of magi to fear Order opposition. This perception gave a number of the Order's more unusual segments carte blanche to pursue their own affairs freely, but it also led to a widespread feeling, by no means limited to conservatives, that the Order as a whole had spun out of control, that it was now lacking any moral center or cultural common ground. The years following the Nonae Fidelitatis incident saw the rise of a number of unusual and iconoclastic magical schools, but also of a traditionalist backlash, as magi struggled to redefine for themselves some sense of Order coherence and unity. These two trends have continued, side by side, into the current day.
