Through the new central force that now controlled a large portion of the Shviesist world, the priestly class of the temples saw an opportunity to extend their authority and religious influence, while the authorities of the Confederation saw a way to further legitimize their power by obtaining the backing of a centralized religious authority. In 333 BCE, A group of priests from the most influential temples in Auravas, which had already maintained an informal network of connections, held the General Council of Uravin, which proclaimed a central authority over Shviesism, referred to as the Shviesist Council, the first time a central authority had been proclaimed over the religion.
