Chathair Raidhsénia massacre

Perpetrator	Gál Háspeada
Victim 	Raidhsénia
Deaths 	800 (700 of perpetrators also killed)
The Chathair Raidhsénia massacre was a mass killing that happened in bronze age Raidhsénia City at the time of the war with Námh Bághnard at the hands of a warrior unit called the 'Gál Háspeada'. The Gál Háspeada, also known as the shadow hand, are a mysterious band of assassins from east Abhainnia of the clan of Rúodh in the Vultures Tribe , who had sworn an oath to an unknown entity to silence.
Scaling the dirt wall of Raidhsénia, they use stealth to move over the rooftops as the rain fell down, killing several guards by moving down and slitting their throats. Their supposed strategy was to take the seat of government, prevent the leaders from moving and end the Bághnardi war in one fell swoop.
The intruders succeeded in killing 800 Raidhsénian citizens including a senior politician and his family, before they blow their cover by awakening a rooster by the name of Chúda.
The commotion they cause alerts all the people of this particular part of the city, and a woman named Réabeagh awoke and stared into a muddy face. She screamed, believing the Ghrgii had attacked, before her throat was slit. This alerted the city guard, and a battle erupted between the small city guard, the Raidhsénia garrison and the citizenry on one side, and the shadow assassins on the other. The city hall was captured, but the Shadow Hands were locked inside.
Consequently, all of the Gál Háspeada intruders are killed and have their heads mounted on pikes around the city limits to serve as a warning to further would be attackers and retallitory killings are vowed against the responsible tribe(s), as well as the annilhation of the Gál Háspeada.
