Not much is known about the conflict, it is shrouded in mystery even to Lorien's greatest historians. It is known that it was a time of death and war before Lorien had reached it's full potential, when peace prevailed and the Loric were gifted with Legacies. Later, Setrákus Ra, an Elder at the time, conflicted with Pittacus Lore. After the conflict, the surviving Elders reconvened and reduced their numbers from the original Ten to Nine because of the betrayal of Ra.
