jan 1, 971 - Oberon Joplin elected High King of Caspia. He is slain by Grand Paladin Miranda Crake. War of the Swords begins.

Description:

There was once a Caspian prince who was also a famous bard, Prince-Elector Oberon Joplin. This warrior-poet was a peerless swordsman, perhaps the greatest duelist of the age in any continental style. Oberon was also known for his outstanding performances and even possessed magical talents, though he was not mageborn. In the year 971, the well-loved Caspian prince won the Kingsmoot and was to be crowned High King of Caspia.

At the urging of Divine Matriarch Temperance IV, Elyria starts the War of the Sword against House Joplin of Caspia, believing Joplin to be mageborn. The Grand Paladin of the Silver Order kills the High King of Caspia in a duel when negotiations breakdown.
