The '''[[Auspicious Occasion]]''' (24.XI.1651 – 14.XII.1651 [[AN]])  saw the expulsion of the [[House of Ettlingar Freyu]] and the [[Church of the Froyalanish Ancient Ways]] from [[Elwynn]]. The double coup in [[Shirekeep]] and [[Eliria]], instigated by the [[Imperial Advisory Council]], brought to an abrupt end the Froyalanish hegemony over the Imperial Republic that had begun with the abdication of Prince [[Jonathan Ayreon-Kalirion]] in 1623 and the [[The River War|River War of 1635]].

In some quarters the Auspicious Occasion has been said to have ''"ultimately yielded a result so cataclysmic in scope that populations along most of the Benacian theological spectrum had found difficulty ascribing it to anything other than divine intercession"''[https://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1543&t=21519#p162097(1)]. There are those who would suggest it something even rarer than divine intervention, albeit no less miraculous, that is to say a plan hastily conceived and executed that unfolded almost exactly as intended. The success of the coup, compared with Imperial operations before and after this date, can perhaps largely be ascribed to the fact that no-one outside of the ideologically committed cadres of the [[Vanic Temple Guard]] was really willing to fight, still less to die, in defence of [[Noah]]'s abiding love of pomp and pageantry.

Esagila of Raynor: One of Shirekeep's more dubious landmarks...

The Esagila of Raynor is a remarkably oversized, and assuredly not ominous, stepped Pyramid in the heart of the Ancient City of Shirekeep. It was build in the 15th century by the Adepti of the Church of the Machine God, the Cult of Mors and other sects too reclusive and dubious to identify with any reasonable level of precision. For years it had been the main hub for these sects that mostly operated outside mainstream Cedrism.
