War of the Three Kings

The War of the Three Kings was started when the ruling king of , Adamian, was away on a campaign against barbarian raiders where he was injured and fell gravely ill.

News reached the kingdom but was distorted, and instead the kingdom heard that the king died. The queen, fearing for the safety of their lives and the security of her family, and not believing her son ready to rule, backed Adamian's most trusted advisor, Cassius instead.

Meanwhile her son, Bramian, heard both of his father's death and his mother's power move with Cassius, and made his own bid for power as the rightful heir. This all backfired spectacularly when King Adamian made a full recovery and returned to reclaim the throne.

King Adamian was able to forgive his son Bramian, but his mother died mysteriously soon after. Cassius was assassinated, and the villages who pledged their loyalty to Cassius soon reverted to acknowledging King Adamian as their ruler. The one village that remained loyal, Hatal, was recognized for its loyalty.
