The Fall of House Wildemere

Military: Battle

On the eve of a realm-wide holiday-- the Victory of the Evenlights-- House Vangrim used the undead forces gathered by Seraphina Onyx to launch a surprise attack on the city of Kesgrave. Using tunnels through the Underdark to move forces unnoticed and the mines of Kesgrave's Down-Town to access the city, Onyx's undead forces completely blindsided the city guards. Before Lord Ferdinand Wildemere could issue commands or even escape his home, he and his wife Diana were killed by a dracolich under Onyx's command. Their children escaped due to the efforts of the House's first knight, Nils Verrik; however, control of the city was seized by sunrise. This first act of war would plunge the Realms into war for the first time in a century, and is considered on of Kesgrave's darkest days since the reign of the Undying King himself.
