Plum War

The Plum War was a brief conflict between members of the Boran family over the inheritance left by Lady Lorelai Boran upon her death in 46 CE. It resulted in the arrest of Nikolas Boran and the establishment of Plumfield as a noble House. 
== Events ==
=== Prelude ===
Lady Lorelai Boran was an exceptional botanist and arborist. She established an orchard at her new manor Plumfield in 5 AE and became very successful by the time of her death on 8 Cern, 46 CE. Three of her four children would continue the family business, with Sirena Boran being especially gifted. However, her only brother, Nikolas Boran, believed he was due the lion's share of his mother's property, so when it was discovered upon her death that most everything had been left to Sirena, he became enraged. Tensions began to rise following the reading of the will.
=== The Plum War ===
After becoming Lady of Plumfield, Sirena would enact several changes to the property, one reclaiming a large swath of unused pasture for the use in growing a peach orchard. Nikola objected, stating this area was necessary for his bees to use in creating honey. Sirena would not budge, and on the 30th of Olea 47 CE, she banned Nikolas from using the property. Furious, Nikolas refused to leave, so on the 4th of Avianja Sirena sent in hired mercenaries to forcibly remove Nikolas and his staff. During this conflict, several beehives were burned, causing massive revenue loss for Nikolas. In response, Nikolas fled to Wilemberg, where he raised funds from his investors to hire a small host to raid the manor. On the 33rd of Avianja his host met Sirena's outside the manor gates, resulting in twenty deaths as well as the partial destruction of the orchard that Lorelai had planted. Despite his efforts, Nikolas was defeated as Sirena had built up fortifications around the orchard and received her own protection from her investors. Nikolas fled again to Wilemberg where he recuperated.
On the 26th of Caed a small explosion damaged part of Plumfield Manor proper, destroying a tower and leaving three servants dead. Enraged, Sirena wrote to Queen Helena Wilem of Flowers for aid. She responded by putting a bounty on the head of Nikolas Boran. On the 30th of Caed Nikolas was found hiding in an opium den in Wilemberg. He was arrested and put on trial before the court the following month. He was found guilty of conspiracy to bomb Plumfield Manor as noted by the supplies found in his apartment. Queen Helena asked of what punishment Sirena wanted for her brother, to which she responded she was no kinslayer, requesting instead life imprisonment. The sentence was carried out on the 4th of Hor 47 CE. Nikolas would later die of Glass Joint Fever in 49 CE in Saltrock. Sirena retained full control of Plumfield Manor and eventually sued in 48 CE for her brother's intellectual properties, which she won from his widow Emmeline.
