The Five Year Miracle (AoC Universe)

The Five Year Miracle refers to the series of reforms taking place 5-6 years after the conclusion of Grevalon's Civil War (-1,155 until -1,150). The precursor was the civil war between the ruling Magelords and the secessionist group, the Protectorate, and their realm, Commoncrown. While the Protectorate were defeated, the impact of their secession led to a series of government reforms which made Grevalon more meritocratic and less hereditary.

Timeline
-1,149 -1,148 -1,147 -1,146 -1,145 -1,144
 * Magelord Caste broken up and replaced with the 154-member Council of Arcanists, elected to serve as representatives and lawmakers in the city-state. The council is led by The Seven.
 * Creation of the Deposits and Laboratories, reducing the external impact of arcanum experimentation.
 * The construction of five new magic schools begins, the first time such institutions have been built since -4,000. By -1,100, there are 7 of these institutions.
 * Magic Aptitude Test reworked. Total marks changed to 1,080 (from 600), merited grade removed (except on some tests) and mark required for top grade increased to 90% (from 85%).
 * Major changes in Grevalon. The magocracy becomes a co-principality, as the position of Monarch Consort is created to serve as the country's Head of State, while the leader of the Council of Seven serves as Head of Government.
 * Council of Commons introduced: 77 non-magic using nobles enter the Chambers of Grevalon as elected lawmakers. To compensate, the Council of Arcanists is slashed in half to keep the Dom's total membership at 161.
