The Glorious Reclamation was an order of zealous Iomedaean knights in Cheliax who were responsible for recovering an Iomedaean artifact, the Heart's Edge, from the Hellknight Order of the Godclaw in 4715 AR. The order soon fostered a rebellion against the empire in southeastern Cheliax, seizing Citadel Dinyar from the Hellknight Order of the Godclaw and eventually targeting Westcrown for liberation.

Leadership

The Glorious Reclamation was founded and led by the paladin Lord Marshal Alexeara Cansellarion. The order was structured as a military force comprised of Iomedaean followers.

Demise and aftermath

House Thrune and the church of Asmodeus defeated the Glorious Reclamation in 4716 AR and publicly executed its leaders. House Thrune's efforts were greatly aided by the work of Archcountess Levisvia Vasvion of Egorian, who rooted out traitors and marshaled forces against the Glorious Reclamation.

However, Cheliax's focus on the Reclamation contributed to the success of the simultaneous Kintargan Rebellion that ended with the secession of the Archduchy of Ravounel into the independent nation of Ravounel that same year. Cheliax engaged in aggressive redaction and propaganda efforts after the Glorious Reclamation that suppressed or destroyed many sources of information about these events, and by 4722 AR details about the Glorious Reclamation had become sparse, particularly within Old Cheliax.

Despite being led by Iomedeans, Cheliax did not outlaw the worship of Iomedae after destroying the rebellion. However, agents of House Thrune increased their surveillance of Iomedean orders within Cheliax. Queen Abrogail Thrune II ordered the deaths of the Iomedean church in Egorian for sedition after entrapping them in a legal dispute over her deceptive gift of the Heart's Edge to them, killing some of them herself with the sword and executing Iomedean protestors of her actions. As of 4720 AR, she kept the Heart's Edge at her throne still coated with its victims' blood.

As of 4720 AR, a church to Iomedae in Westcrown destroyed by fire during the Glorious Reclamation had become a safe house of the Bellflower Network.

In 4721 AR, minor Thrune noble Aydrian Thrune enacted a plan to detain Pathfinder Society Venture-Captain Varian Jeggare and Glorious Reclamation survivor Sabina Malatesta, who was a trustworthy contact of Jeggare. The Society was successful in rescuing Malatesta, then recovered Jeggare, thwarting Aydrian Thrune's plans.
