| Famine breaks out.{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 245: Chronology}} | |||
| A large-scale famine breaks out. The food supply chain from the countryside into the city was severely disrupted for several years. As a result, it became commonplace for the government and the upper echelons of the Church to trade money, weapons, women, and children to the Lords of the Land in exchange for food.{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 245: Chronology}} | |||

| The poor, who are dissatisfied due to the food shortages, and the magicians, dissatisfied with the corruption within the Magic Academies, form an underground revolutionary group known as the "Blue Order."{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 245: Chronology}} | |||

| The Blue Order begins to gain traction. Many young magicians and lords who are dissatisfied with the Church support their cause. The Cathedral City's weaknesses are exposed; specifically their lack of military equipment and human resources due to years of food shortages and bribery.{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 245: Chronology}} | |||

| A massive revolt by the Blue Order breaks out in the Cathedral City (Blue Revolt). They occupy the Central Magic Academy with the aim of abolishing the power of the Lords of the Land within the institution, and creating free and independent Magic Academies. However, the Blue Order is 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 are used as catalysts for the Sealing Magic and die as a result. Meanwhile, the survivors go insane. Work begins to bury them alive.{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 245: Chronology}} | |||

| Following the Blue Revolt, the number of magician applicants approved by the Magic Academies decreases sharply. The government and Church become more and more dependent on the military might of the Lords of the Land. Independent magical research and original magical research funded by the Lords of the Land becomes widespread. This leaves the Magic Academy and the Church in an uncertain position.{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 245: Chronology}} | |||

| Finally, not a single Magic Academy Director across all the Magic Academies is a Lord of the Land. Although the Magic Academies found their independence, they also lost all support from Lords of the Land, leading to their somewhat ironic decline.{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 245: Chronology}} | |||
Independent magical research is ongoing. It uncovers all the secret techniques that were forbidden by the Magic Academies, and the balance of magical power in Europe grows unstable.{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 245: Chronology}} | |||
