In four years' time, the Blue Order began to gain traction. Many young wizards and [[landed lords]] who were dissatisfied with the Church supported their cause.{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 245: Chronology}} A year later, they staged a massive revolt in the [[Cathedral City]]. They occupied the Central Magic Academy with the aim of abolishing the power of the landed lords within the institution, and creating free and independent Magic Academies. However, the Blue Order was destroyed overnight by a large-scale sealing magic attack seen across the city. Eighty percent of the citizens living within two of the city's wards were used as catalysts for the sealing magic and died as a result. Meanwhile, the survivors went insane. Work began to bury them alive.{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 245: Chronology}} | |||
