Tânê 16, or what would become known as the Pyramid of Conflict, was built in 408 LE. It was like the other Pyramids of Power, a Lith-Crillion research center.

Tânê 16 focused their studies on the motives and actions of peoples. At the time of its construction there were a number of peoples in the Ma'Ohari Region whose spheres of influence were about to collide. These were the Turkûn of Felak, the Tragarans of Tilnangau (446 LE - 944 LE), and a lost demon regiment that would come north to build Orias Vaul and go on to found the Varelay Empire. The collisions of these groups was studied by the Pyramid's researchers out of harm's way. Behind impenetrable walls, masked by powerful magic, the Pyramid remained hidden for over a thousand years; its researchers watching and testing.

In 2558 LE, Varelay's Psi-Core made their way into the Pyramid of Conflict. Its occupants long gone, notes from this exploration say that the Pyramid was "alive", that it feeds on conflict, particularly the elevated levels of psychic energy that come with it. They also recorded the loss of 71 slaves to areas attuned only to the biorhythm of a Lith-Crillion.

In 985, a Conclave wizard named Adîlkhâru plundered ancient Lith-Crillion tomes from the Pyramid. One of these was the Izrukîn Sa Thir, a book providing the step by step process for manipulating the Web of Magic.

In 1456, the Pyramid was captured by forces serving Gorthunder. Under new management, Gorthunder turned the Pyramid's power on Orias Vual, clearing its battlements. Six years later in 1462, the Pyramid fell to forces of Rax.

Like most Pyramids of Power, the Pyramid of Conflict is home to Pyrmidian Ghouls.
