The Karpatian-Defixius Conspiracy

The Karpatian-Defixius Conspiracy was a conspiracy conceived by the Knights Defixius in an attempt to start a devastating war against Althoria with a prolonged period of peace afterward in effort to gain a mass popular approval over King Elaron II and Prince Diskella Obalenia, followed by a large series of unquestioned mass genocides carried out by Diskella once crowned emperor. The Conspiracy was part of the Knights Defixius' scheme for global supremacy.

Stage One
The Knights Defixius began planning the conspiracy around the year 4175, when they implemented Elenvyss Undeprydus, an archduchess from Bryuland, as a stateswoman in the democratic government of Karpatia. Over the next five years, the Defixius secretly placed many more of their members within the government's senate. Three years after Elenvyss' anointment as a stateswoman, the head of the government, Uwchben Parclaydius Prochurus died from what was believed to be natural causes due to his old age, but was actually a Defixius-backed assassination. After Elenvyss was nominated to run for the position of Uwchben, the election was rigged closely in favor of the Defixius, allowing Elenvyss to win without suspicion.

Once Elenvyss held the position of Uwchben, she used mass propaganda to weaken the already unfriendly relations with the neighboring kingdom of Althoria. Eventually, some knights in the Defixius took on disguises of Althorian soldiers and sacked a small village in western Karpatia. Even after Althoria's denying of the attacks, Undeprydus used this as an excuse to declare a state of war against Althoria.

Stage Two
During all of the events of the first stage of the conspiracy, a sorcerer in the Defixius had placed a curse on the Lady of Sempir Vertus that would allow them to utilize her newborn son as an obedient tool in the oncoming war. Over the next fifteen years, the boy who was cursed, Lucréus Verdaniger, was conditioned in secrecy by an agent of the Defixius Knights named Edward Ledgey. Eventually, when Ledgey believed the time of Verdaniger's age to properly coincide with the progress of Elenvyss Undeprydus, he helped the boy kill his own parents to allow for his ascension to the title of Lord of Sempir Vertus, where he would be able to work closely with King Elaron II and Prince Diskella Obalenia.

Stage Three
Nearly a year after the commencing of the first stage of the conspiracy, Diskella was born through events entirely unrelated to the Defixius' plan. Although too late to place a curse on Diskella similar to the one placed on Lucreus, the Defixius summoned a direct emissary of Pyrtoral who would harness the chaotic god's dynamism directly into the mind of Diskella, placing him fully under Pyrtoral's possession by the time he was five years old.
