Military action
Queen Beatrix I Mettvergen's forces clash with the Heirs of Baltha in the Wyvernwald near Lyndhoff. The queen takes the field herself, and leads her army to victory, routing the insurgents and driving them into the lake of Alusee. Beatrix sustains an injury from a rebel archer during the battle, but refuses to withdraw; she collapses and dies minutes after the battle's end, the slow-acting poison upon the arrow claiming her life and rendering her body impossible to revive.
