The First Family Wars

Political event

This was a period of unrest in the Gold Coast, where the weak reign of the Prince of Opal resulted in bloodshed not long after the founding of the City as the Merchant Families fought one another openly and violently. This spread to Ruby. At the end of the Family War, many of the Merchant Families had fled the Cities before order was restored. They would go to found the cities of Beryl and Pearl.
