The Dreemurr Murders

Summary
The Dreemurr Murders was the nickname given to the assassinations of King Ausgrid Dreemurr, and Queen Eleanora Dreemurr. The assassinations had been planned for well over a month prior to their occurrence. The group in charge of planning the murders was a group of radicalists wanting to overthrow the monarchy.

Their motive for the murders was disgruntlement at Ausgrid's friendly interactions with their human neighbors in the kingdoms across the mountain range. They believed the humans were trying to find out their weaknesses, and would try to destroy them given the chance. Their objective was to overthrow the monarchy and instate a new government that would show no trust to the humans.

The deed was carried out when two assassins snuck into the palace at approximately 3:30 in the morning on September 12th, 595. At 3:41, both monarchs were stabbed to death. Their dust wasn't discovered until nearly 10:00 am. Asgrid Dreemurr was crowned king later that day, and those responsible for the murders were arrested, and executed.

Impacts
The chaos the assassinations brought about made it perfect for the radical group to spread propoganda against Paral's monarch. Once they had gained enough supporters, they launched an attack on the palace at Ebott, sparking The Paral Civil War. Over the following years several attempts were made on Asgrid's life, all failed. In the end though, it actually helped to strengthen the relationships between the monster kingdoms, who provided aid to Asgrid in the crisis, as did the human nation of Kralum. It also ended up being the reason Asgrid met his wife-to-be, Celia.
