Assassin Wars

Following the Treaty of Dusk, the descendants of the Beast Monarchs retained their power.

Each of the Blood Kingdoms was made up largely of warlords loosely bound to a monarch by a sense of loyalty to the bloodline.

Soon, members of each royal family started falling to assassination. The monarchs, suspecting one another began sending assassins to kill family members of the other.

One account names a single assassin responsible for each assassination (including those ordered by the monarchs). Though many historians believe this to be a romanticism of the time period. More likely, the evidence points to the Silent Keepers as the group responsible for sparking the Assassin Wars as well as the group hired by the Blood Monarchs.

After completely wiping out the lines of succession in the Blood Kingdoms, the assassins left the Monarchs as the sole rulers. However, with the paranoia of years of assassinations as well as the deaths of all those they held dear, each monarch committed suicide.
