House Redwood Tragedy

The House Redwood Tragedy was a major political assassination committed by Duke Richard against the entire Redwood family in 28 BA. The Duke hired a few skilled assassins to kill every member of the house at a family feast during 28 BA. Due to the sacrifice of a few members of the family, Katherine Redwood escaped unseen, but had taken a wound in the process. She was the only survivor, and gave birth to the Redwood twins Aidar and Eragor a few days after the event. The Duke assumed that every member had died, and took undisputed control of the Redwood lands and titles, as he was the next successor to the claim if all the members of the Redwood family died.
