Cause
"The Warrior Queen" Cedileth I  had always insisted on carrying a sword while traveling the cities of the empire, and instead have fewer bodyguards- as she wants to keep her image. In 677 Cedileth I  was assulted by a mob at the market in Urbamia. This time she only havd four bodyguards with her, and was killed. According to legend, twenty of the attackes where killed, and twice wounded. It is not known wether the mob was hired to attack her, or simply angry for something.

Her death lead to the Great Civil War, as both her son Esirius IV, Gilerien- a son Manalius II had with another woman, and Jemoriel- brother of Esirius III, made claims for the throne.
