Third ride, Autumn Harvest, 1262 | The queen found a box in her ante-chamber. When she opened it, it had a head of a goat man in it with nails stuck in its eyes and strange symbols carved on its horns. The queen immediately sounded the alarm and the grounds were thoroughly searched. No intruders were found and the morbid package was taken away. The next morning, the queen fell to illness, slipping into a torpor from which she has not awakened.
Accusations of dark sorcery were levelled at House Radowan, claiming that the rebels were in league with demon worshippers and had made pacts with warlocks.

Autumn Harvest, 1262 | Regular emissaries were sent back and forth between Kingsport and Farcorner. Things got heated, hostages were taken, but it did not come to open warfare yet.

Third Ride, Summer End, 1262 | A cart filled with tarred heads of goat men was delivered to Kingsport by an armed escort of House Fetterling, Mazurek and Longstrider guards.

Upon arrival, they were taken hostage with a few casualties. Lord Royce was separated from the guards and knights and moved around from location to location to prevent his rescue.
When news returned back to Kingsport, House Grey was outraged and called for the crown to field troops to bring down House Radowan. The queen refused to wage war against the rebellious houses without exhausting diplomatic options first, but refused to blindly give in to house Radowan’s demands. It was the crown’s opinion that it was up to House Radowan to secure the eastern border as they had for generations. |
First Ride, Summer Flame, 1262 | Lord Szymon Radowan, younger brother to Lord Mirek, was sent as an emissary to Kingsport to once again plead for the crown’s help. He was detained in the Kingsport Carceratum on orders of the Steward of Kingsport for treason in a move that was meant to pull house Radowan back in line. |
Summer Light, 1262 | House Radowan and its banners moved to stand in open rebellion to the crown, withholding its dues and refusing to levy taxes from their people until the crown commited aid to protecting the kingdom’s eastern border from the encroaching threat of the savage races coming from Silesia. |
