The War of Fateful Dark

The War of Fateful Dark is a conflict between the House of Gonzo and newly formed House of Dolosus. The war had its origins the day after Tetnaziwyn had been coronated Kaiser von Cruor, in which Elandre Gonzo had stumbled upon the Lassar Grottoes. A co-founder of the Gonzo that had been in hibernation for over two centuries at least, revealed she had used divination to keep an ample supply of power to grow on while she was recovering. After the two had a discussion, she denied his ways and a very quick duel began, Tetnaziwyn proving too powerful for the recently awoken Mahjarrat. She had fled and it was reminded that divination was used to raise her power.

As the next month passed by and near the end of Rintra, Elandre had managed to gain a following. Reconnecting with a few living Gonzo Mahjarrat that split from the house and a few Mahjarrat companions she hibernated nearby, including her other two Mahjarrat children, she formed the House of Dolosus and created the Order of Occido, finding humans who fit the mold for Skodanov Adepts and taking them in. She and her following had also changed their allegiance to Zaros, renewing their loyalty to him. She tasked a few warriors to spy on a village near the Lionheart-Dargonian border, in which Tetnaziwyn and his group of warriors attacked and burned to the ground. Learning of Tetnaziwyn's intention to eradicate the Clough, Elandre had used one of her human mages to disguise himself as a Clough warrior and created a bit of buzz, drawing the Gonzo's attention. Elandre herself, with the disguised warrior and another Mahjarrat had ambushed the attack, resulting in a small skirmish that led to a slight Gonzo victory, more towards a draw. This officially began the war.
