History

A now-dead member of Blackthorn, Flumen, freed The Hunt, a powerful Faerie which is once again free.
The initial trapping of this Faerie likely would have been a breaking of the code, but this was never brought to tribunal.

Blackthorn, with aid from a Norman Army, destroyed the Covenant of Tagelyn. They originally were a patron of Tagelyn, and a few of its members had once belonged to Blackthorn. The covenfolk were slaughtered and the magi were driven from their caves, which Blackthorn now controls. Again, Blackthorn was never held accountable for their crimes.

899 Blackthorn declared war on Rosalba and destroyed them, claiming their Vis sources.

931 Blackthorn claims the vis sources owned by the Covenant of Sursum which was completely destroyed - including every magus - by a mundane army seeking the Cornish King.
