Queen Alicent's Banners

The War of the Six Realms, or better known as "The Viper's Conspiracy" was twenty-three-year war that damaged the kingdom inside out. The immediate coup began with Queen Alicent Stafford when King Foltest was paralyzed to bed and lost in trance, assumed by many as paralysis poison to usurp power. She led the coup of the Capital City with the absence of the Lord Regent and Leader of the War Council alongside acclaimed corrupt military leaders.
=== Origins ===
In Late 166 CE, when King Foltest returned from the Dormund Gulf Campaign, with infection and paralysis, the king was soon cut off from the realm, paralyzed to his bed chamber and lost in trance soon afterwards. Employed with poisoning, Queen Alicent Stafford, the king's second wife took up arms against the king's brother and first wife, supposedly as traitors behind the poisoning. Queen Laena Towers, the king's first wife along with her children were imprisoned until rescued by Prince Robett and freed to return to the Vale.
Prince Robett and Queen Alicent came at war, with the kingdom divided in two, with each noble and knight house supporting one of the two. In 167 CE, Prince Robett attempted to retake the Capital, but failed drastically, although he did manage to free countless imprisoned Kingsmen and soldiers with aid of a pirate mercenary army in a night rebellion inside the capital city, retaking the Capital as Queen Alicent with her forces fled to her vassal kingdom, and this set into a motion, a war that would last for years to come. In April 167 CE, Prince Robett took his place as Acting Lord Regent and Protector of the Realm, while Queen Alicent Stafford called her banners and was proclaimed as "Queen of the Realm" or rather Queen of Stafford, with House of Stafford, a duchy nobility raised to royalty.
=== Taking Power ===
After proclaiming her coronation, Queen Alicent appointed a royal council in motion to take power, followed by a strong army.
In Fall of 167 CE, a gathering was called where all the noble and knightly houses of Portshire, Westshire, Stafford, and South Bay were present to bend the knee to Queen Alicent, twenty-eight houses out of forty-two houses supported Queen Alicent's ascension, while the fourteen absent houses supported against with most of them supporting Prince Robett in his ascension to the throne, while the remaining scattered off to Duskendale.
Following her take to power, Queen Alicent appointed her loyal bannermen and loyalists in the Royal Council of 167 CE, which later changed to the Queen's Council in 168 CE. To strengthen her ties, Queen Alicent brokered an alliance with the Duchy of Tyrinia, the Kingdom of Romalia.
