The War of the Queen's Knife

Revolution

After a decade of increasingly tyrannical rule, Queen Pyronike of Aldernord is assassinated by her granddaughter, Heliodora. A civil war breaks out, in which Heliodora is eventually victorious, having won the support of many of the Baltho-Alderni nobility including a number of the Jarls who dissented from the Treaty of Tolheim. Heliodora becomes the third Queen of Aldernord, and is simultaneously acknowledged as Jarl of Jarls in the Balthan territories, thereby succeeding at uniting the two nations under one banner as even Erastes could not do.
