Battle of Graxboro

: See also: Season Five, Season Premiere: I Am a Flaming Moltres!
In August of 1442 SA, Tyro Avampour assassinated Absolute Dictator Grax in Landover with the assistance of the Toggenburg Corporation.
==The Motivation==
The Toggenburg Corporation ran into Sluf, the local counterrevolutionary organizer, and accidentally convinced him that they had arrived to help with the assassination of Grax. The party, being in Big Damn Hero mode, rolled with it: Grax was royally fucking up Baldur, and that just wasn't going to stand. As they had previously captured Tyro, he too learned of this planned assassination, and resolved to be a part of it.
==The Overall Attack==
After being freed from captivity by the Dread Pirate Gauve, Tyro fled to make his own preparations. Meanwhile, the Toggenburg Corporation joined forces with Claire the Deadly and sneaked into Landover by way of a network of tunnels leading into the center of the town. Grax had been giving a speech to his troops in the town center. The Toggenburg Corporation scoped out the scene and waited for Claire to take a death attack with an anti-aberration bolt. Once she fired, all hell broke loose. The Toggenburg Corporation neutralized most of Grax's army. The Circle of the True also revealed their presence. Under the command of Aura Larellian, they also began attacking the army. Tyro met up with Andrey Hilltopple, Claire, and Tobo Lakhanai on the roof of one of the nearby buildings. Tyro then used Andrey's tablet of Meteor Swarm to kill Grax and almost every remaining member of the army. The Toggenburg Corporation and Tyro both managed to escape the scene in the ensuing chaos.
==Major Figures==
*Grax is the chairman of the Absolute Dictatorship of Orc and was the assassination target.
*Tyro Avampour is the mayor of Tindersmarsh and a counterrevolutionary in the service of Edmund Vargus, the overthrown president of Baldur. He delivered the killing blow, though the magical backlash left him dazed and weakened for weeks.
*The Toggenburg Corporation weighed in from the sidelines for shits and giggles. The Baldur War Commerce later blamed the assassination on corporation's ship captain, the Dread Pirate Gauve.
*Aura Larellian is one of the more prominent members of the militant anti-aberration group The Circle of the True.
==The Aftermath==
Grax was quickly resurrected, but the disruption in the chain of command deepened the rift between the Graxians and the Saviors. By the time Grax had recovered, his armies had suffered heavy casualties on both the Malvont and Goneril fronts. He was thus forced to abandon the Malvont siege in order to maintain his attack against Goneril...in winter.
