Reign of Balthazar Talwar

Political event

Balthazar's time on the throne was, unlike many of his predecessor kin, relatively uneventful. Despite his decisive victory in Sacred Combat, he lacked social and political skills, and took a considerably more passive approach to his rule.   The turning point in his reign came when he insulted the members of the Harvest Moon Coven. In retaliation, they launched what would be remembered as the Endless Night, a 4-day lunar eclipse that saw the first invasion of the Rose Kingdoms by members of the Harvest Moon Coven. Balthazar was killed in his sleep, along with over 250 members of the Onyx Throne.   The memory of this massacre still haunts the Rose Kingdoms, and they give the Coven a wide berth.
