Eve of Blades

The Eve of Blades was a massacre that took place directly before The War of The Bears, causing the war to start. It was arranged and committed by King Dannis I Boyce who feared that the Lords of the realm were plotting to overthrow him in favour of his kinder and loved younger brother Prince Kaegan. Kaegan and his family was invited back to the capital by the King for a feast, he had planned to assassinate Kaegan, his family and loyalists from the Lakelands. 
While many Lords, such as Lord Bart Durham, were killed and Lords such as Ethon Carlisle and Tobin Slait all pledged fealty to Dannis, Kaegan and his family were able to escape from the massacre with the help of Lord Wyllam Rocke, Sir Henri Alder and Sir Harler Blackford. Together with Dayron Durham, the son of Bart, they fled back to the Lakelands and the Lords of The Lake (bar House Pyke), along with House Perle and House Durham, called their banners in rebellion against King Dannis.
