Upon the reformation of the Flame Of The Bright creed, an authoritative meeting of religious councils was held to address the rise of the reformed religion.

During the gathering, council members of the reformed Flame Of The Bright creed were questioned on their legitimacy of re-interpreting the holy text and spreading their faith within the realms of influence of the other faiths.   The members of the reformed Flame Of The Bright creed reacted by questioning the efficacy of the former Flame Of The Bright creed and the Divine Being religion, and how the two faiths devote to the betterment of the people.

Members of the former Flame Of The Bright creed and the Divine Being religion were greatly insulted by those of the reformed creed.
