History
714TR - When the Eight Demons rebelled and split from the Order of the Hepra the Mace, the temple was seriously under threat. A contingent of the new formed Order of the Cohorts of Gashang and mercenaries arrived in Telen to convince the temple to convert to the new order.
Clan Nordaka supplied Legionary "volunteers" to act as support and after a brief verbal altercation the Cohorts were forced to retreat. Why the Nordakas supported the Herpans when other prominent senatorial figures favored the Eight Demons is unclear.
