''Main article: [[War of Loss]]''
Before the Hierocracy could spread to western Roshar, the Hierocracy became embroiled in the War of Loss, a conflict spearheaded by the man later known as the [[Sunmaker]].{{book ref|sa1|18}} The Sunmaker united together the ten princedoms of Alethkar for the first time since the fall of [[Alethela]] into one nation.{{book ref|sa1|24}} It is unknown if any other factions joined them, but working together the Alethi forces fought the Hierocracy in truly epic battles, whose like has not been seen on Roshar since then.{{book ref|sa1|52}} The Sunmaker managed to cast down the Hierocracy.{{book ref|sa1|18}} Its fall
The Sunmaker himself interrogated the remaining priests and went through their correspondences.{{book ref|sa1|18}} He claimed that he had found no proof of any of the visions that they had claimed to be receiving from the Almighty, stating that it had been a massive fraud on the part of the Church. The central leadership of the Vorin Church was destroyed.{{book ref|sa1|36}} From that point forward, Vorinism continued in as a decentralized religion, with each devotary working mostly independently, sometimes clandestinely competing with the others for followers.{{book ref|sa1|33}}
