The Red Coup

Military: Battle

The Knight-Commander of Saarthal's chapter of the Order of the Lady, Arnald Séguier, is discovered to be a vampire. Séguier laid siege to Saarthal for three weeks with his undead minions before the arrival of the Companion; which brought about his destruction.

Fifty years ago the Knight-Commander of Saarthal's chapter of the Order of the Lady, Arnald Séguier, was shockingly found out to be a vampire. Séguier laid siege to the city for three weeks, commiting horific acts of violence with the help of his undead spawn.   Saarthal seemed all but lost until the appearance of the Companion, the radiant light of which turned to ash the hordes of dead. The High Watcher of the time, Eleanor Bellandi, was credited for the victory. In the wake of the attack Bellandi formed the High Council, and assumed the new position of High Observer, in order to assist with the repair and future rule of the city.
