After [[Nicholas Kerensky|Nicholas Kerensky's]] death the position of ilKhan became less powerful and less prestigious over time, and following Tobias Khatib's indictment and execution in [[2947]] lapsed completely for a century. The arrival of the ''[[Outbound Light]]'' in Clan space in [[3048]] and resulting [[Operation REVIVAL|invasion of the Inner Sphere]] led to a revival of the role from 3049 to c. 3075, first to lead the invasion itself and then to handle the [[Wars of Reaving|crises]] resulting from that invasion's failure.
