jan 3, 576 - Varen Aquilarios overthrows and kills Emperor Leovic.

Description:

Assassinating Emperor Leovic
________________________________

In 2E 576, Varen and his army stormed the Imperial City, before breaking into the White-Gold Tower and driving his sword into Leovic's heart at the foot of the Ruby Throne, instantly killing him, and immediately declaring himself Emperor.

For Abnur's loyalty and assistance in the rebellion, Varen agreed to take Leovic's widow, Clivia Tharn, as his bride, and she was officially remarried to him.

Due to the mass amount of casualties during the uprising, Varen converted the Market District of the Imperial City into the Memorial District, filling it with mass graves.

Varen's rule went mostly without problems, but he was constantly worrying about being an illegitimate ruler as he was not Dragonborn.
