The Conspiracy of the Elven Council of Aristocrats

The Elven Council of monarchs rebels against the High-King of the Elves

The Elven Council of Aristocrats consisted of the Elven monarchs that came under the High-King of the Elves. In 28370, High-King Hia Nefe of the Exalted House of Nefe declared that royal succession among the Elven houses were to pass to only male heirs. This declaration originated with a disagreement the High-King had had with his daughter - and only child - as a means to disinherit her. This was a serious lack of judgement by the High-King as the Council of Aristocrats was occupied by four Queens and one King:

Queen Byeyfi Bihe of Gueda Yaya
Queen Fipe Gugeni, the Queen of the Kingdom of Naniyu
Queen Khe Ya, the Queen of the Kingdom of il Mumu am
Queen Geyfeb Guda, the Queen of Hyage
And, King Fiyet Heyuyi, the King of Ngazomi asa (Evening Star)

In an emergency session, the Councillors met to discuss the ramifications for their Kingdoms; King Fiyet Heyuyi could relate to the issue on the grounds that his mother - Queen Byage Heyuyi - was the first monarch of his kingdom. Initially, the Council proposed to the High-King that a simple royal edict barring his daughter from inheriting was a more rational act, and that it was politically unwise to upset the Council of Aristocrats through one action. However, the High-King would not change his mind; this impasse resulted in the flight of the Council back to their respective Kingdoms, declaring that we were formally severing the supremacy of High-King authority within their internal Kingdoms. The High-King refused to recognize the autonomy of the Kingdoms and declared the Council had committed conspiracy against the High-Kingdom. The High-King would declare war on those Kingdoms.
