The Night of Redress

The night of redress was a historical event in Alberean Empire history.

Solidor I, the founder of the Empire, shocked everyone in 1302 he ordered to public execution of all patriarchs and matriarchs of the old great Houses that had previously bent the knee to him and his Alliance of the Red Rose. These nobles were dragged from the dungeons of the conquered townships and either hung or drowned in the following days. But to the surprise of many of the aristocrats of the alliance, who suspected Solidor's popularity would waver under such an extreme edict, the Alberean people rejoiced the death of their formed lords and hailed Solidor as a saviour. It is widely believed that this event cemented Solidor's position as emperor of the new Alberea by in the span of a few days becoming both the most feared, as well as the most loved person in Alberea.
