- (Spring) The Great Betrayal. Heylel Teomim bani Solificati (hoping to create a crisis which will unite the Traditions) betrays the First Cabal to Rivallon de Corbie, who assembles an army, the Iron Hounds and the Legion de Triumph to meet them at Narbonne. Fall Breeze[3], Daud-Allah Abu Hisham ibn Muqla al-Baghdadi and Louis DuMonte[4] are killed, along with three Iron Hounds and many soldiers. Akrites Salonikas and Heylel escape.
