Three descendants of King Baleste engage in a civil war for the throne
Bazo Balest came along, he was the third born son of the king of his age, and that meant he would likely never receive the throne. Bazo was greedy and hired a great mercenary company as his personal standing army, stealing the gold from the kingdom's treasury to raid it himself. Unbeknownst to Bazo, his brother Bellar was also plotting to kill the current king, eldest brother King Barrick Balest III, and used this oppurtunity to attempt and subsequently fail an assassination attempt in the throne room. The forces were driven back, as Barrick did not want to execute his brothers; This began a conflict called the War of Three Brothers, a conflict that lasted a few years, until Barrick Balest was unexpectedly killed in his bed chambers in the night; some even said the murder was carried out by a demon or perhaps a spirit. Both remaining brothers tried to claim responsibility for the assassination to assist their own claims to the throne but failed to captivate the populace to their own sides.
