Massacre of Newcastle

The Massacre of Newcastle was a massacre that took place during the War of the Bears. Originally beginning as a riot, it soon turned into a riot when two Northern Lords, Lord Ethon Carlisle and Lord Oliver Lanser, refused to put down the rioters and were massacred by the Boyce Red Cloaks of King Dannis I Boyce for treason. The event marked a shifting point in the war as it turned most lords away from Dannis and Kaegan's rebels began to call for him to take the throne, which he would declare to do so at the Battle of Timberwood. It also caused the entire region of the North to pledge fealty to Prince Kaegan and join the rebellion.
