Political event
Following the massacre of Balthazar Talwar and dozens of members of the Onyx Throne, Respite saw dark times. Rosalyn Voldaren would meet a similarly tragic end less than 20 years into her reign. Riots led to civilians attacking and setting fire to the royal palace. Unable to handle the revolt alone, Rosalyn sent the Blades in the Dark to neutralize the situation. The resulting pacification became a slaughter, but Rosalyn was abducted by Lycan hidden among the villagers and fed burning coals, scorching her from the inside out.
