Coup at Castle Tiraven

Political event

At the start of the Festival of Summers End in 1467, no one in Tiraven, or even Yondar, expected the first day to end so tragically. The people went about their business, preparing for an evening of festivities, completely unaware of the plot about to unfold.   In the early hours of the morning, Prince Percival began to enact the coup to overthrow his father and claim the throne. He helped Valissan soldiers enter the castle whilst disguised as soldiers from Yondar. Whilst King Ronan and Captain Avarice were busy discussing troubles brewing on Yondar's borders, Percival and the Valissan soldiers took systematically took out Ronan's most loyal men.   By the time Captain Avarice noticed anything was amiss, it was already far too late. She warned her husband to allow him time to escape the castle with their daughter. She then made her way to an unsuspecting Ronan, Queen Elise, and Princess Alexandra. Together, the four of them reached one of the castles hidden tunnels, though Jenna could not pass through the tunnel with them. She knew that someone needed to stay behind and buy the other three time to escape.   When the day was over, any Shield sworn to King Ronan was dead, and Percival had claimed the throne that he had desparately longed for.
