The Eve of Crimson Midnight
Not a quarter century after the Marrow War ended and
the line of kings was established, a smaller, internal
conflicc rocked the capital city of Rexxentrum. A number
of noble houses with a strong history of studying arcane pursuits began to compete with other high-born magic
practitioners from the Julous Dominion. Throughout
the lands of the newly expanded empire, these houses
escalated their subterfuge and espionage against one
another, until the rivalry finally erupted into an all-out
magical conflict in the streets of the capital itself.
The events of the Eve of Crimson Midnight destroyed
numerous buildings and maimed a number of innocents
caught in the crossfire. The struggle ended with all
involved shackled and brought before the king. After
days of deliberation, an agreement was drawn up that
would absolve those involved of the usual punishment
in exchange for direct subservience to the Crown and
the goals of the empire. Establishing themselves as the
Cerberus Assembly, this council of mages became a
powerful tool for the empire to maintain its position as
the dominant force of Wildemount.
