However, the conflict's roots stretch back to the late 420s. Princess [[Falzrahm]], second in line to the throne, began maneuvering to win over the majority of the Senate, wanting her sister, Princess [[Shahrewar]], to give up her right of succession and take it for herself. | However, the conflict's roots stretch back to the late 420s. Princess [[Falzrahm]], second in line to the throne, began maneuvering to win over the majority of the Senate, wanting her sister, Princess [[Shahrewar]], to give up her right of succession and take it for herself. Rumor has it that the Barows family was the real force behind all this scheming, as they had married one of their members to Princess Falzrahm and were obsessed with maintaining their power given that both Queen Olhazeta's and Princess Shahrewar's husbands were from the Godwin family. However, how true these rumors are is unclear. | ||

The height of these plans was the [[Sacred Games]] of Falzrahm's daughter, Princess [[Arshtat Falenas|Arshtat]]. Even though Princess Shahrewar's daughter, [[Haswar]], was older than Arshtat and therefore had a higher priority of succession, holding the games for Arshtat first would lend credibility to the idea that Falzrahm herself was the predominant successor. | ||
Ironically, the unexpected outcome of [[Ferid]] winning the Sacred Games would cool tensions as this allowed neither side to gain a decisive upper hand in the power struggles. But then, when Queen Olhazeta finally passed away, the reality of the situation meant that things quickly broke down into open conflict. The resulting conflict saw countless victims, as many from both the Godwin and Barows factions were slain. In the end, even the husbands of the two Princesses themselves were assassinated. | Ironically, the unexpected outcome of [[Ferid]] winning the Sacred Games would cool tensions as this allowed neither side to gain a decisive upper hand in the power struggles.
