Political event
Rosalyn Voldaren's murder only fed the distrust among the citizens of Respite for the Vampire Clans. The Tiefling Clans suffered the same festering animosity. This resulted in the first case of neither kingdom receiving sufficient public support to nominate an heir. Katheryna of Clan Malikov was nominated from the Aasimar Throne, but struggled to repair an increasingly fractured population. Lycan attacks, Stitcher abductions, and a sharp rise in rogue Vampire attacks and Witch hexes left the Mortal Lands in a state of constant fear & conflict. Katheryna made her best efforts to reassure citizens, but on a diplomatic mission to offer the Blessing of the Wolfir to a Lycan Pack, her caravan was ambushed. Several members of the Lycan claimed credit for the regicide, but the Packleader denied any involvement in the attack.
