Night+of+Rage

=Night of Rage=

Term given to an unexplained outbreak of violence -- mainly brawls and fistfights, though several fatalities were reported -- in Sharn on the evening of Therendor 5, 998 YK.

Most of the fights seem to have started with verbal arguments about who should succeed the late **King Boranel ir'Wynarn** to the throne of Breland: His eldest surviving son, **Prince Bortan ir'Wynarn**, or his brother and current Regent, **Prince Kor ir'Wynarn**. In addition, many of the fights took place in inns and taverns catering to Brelish army regulars and veterans.

In several cases, weapons were drawn and participants suffered serious injuries, and at least five deaths were reported. Three of those deaths were in one tavern in the northern Middle Dura district, where the combatants included both so-called "Democrats" (Brelish who oppse the monarchy and want to see the elected Parliament assume full control) and foreign elements (namely, a Dwarf, a Gnome and a Bugbear).

The Riedran embassy in Sharn was quick to dispel rumours that this was some sort of widespread psionic event.
