jan 1, 1226 - Ivid I ascends the Malachite Throne

Description:

Ivid I, House of Naelax, ascends the Malachite Throne in Rauxes;

Overking Nalif was the last of the Rax line descended directly from the overkings. A flock of misbegotten cousins, exiles and ne'er do wells of Rax could lay some claim to the title of overking when Ivid had Nalif assassinated, but after a century of hopelessly ineffectual Rax rule all of the royal houses agreed that another Rax overking was simply unacceptable. Ivid proclaimed himself overking immediately and plunged the Great Kingdom into civil war.

Civil war ensues within the Great Kingdom;
Among the competing houses, the House of Cranden opposed Naelax, as did many elements of the House of Garasteth and the remnants of Rax. But in all houses princes were busy using the civil war as a cover for settling old scores and attacking their inhouse rivals.
