The Plague

The Plague was a massacre led by Bill Lovie and his loyalists against a sizeable group of rebels that had grown themselves inside the Kingdom of Lucerne. The Plague itself caused extensive casualties to the noble houses of Lucerne, and was responsible for the destruction of House Nune, and the near destruction of House Jackson.

House Jackson

House Jackson was painted very early on as the ringleader of the rebellion and for this reason their destruction was made to be paramount but also Bill wanted to know the true extent of the movement and for this reason the operation had to make sure that they captured Walter Jackson alive so that he could be tortured for information.

Joshua Jackson was being put to bed by his mother when he saw a man come into the room behind her. He pointed at the man in warning to his mother, and when she turned around the man killed her. She fell onto the basinet and shielded Josh from view. Not knowing the child was in the room, the assasin left and went throughout the House killing various other targets. When they captured Walter, one of the assasins went back into the house in the pretents of making sure everyone was dead. When the assasinBrandon Von Gruger entered the room where Josh's mother had been killed he found Joshua rubbing his mother's back trying to get her to wake up. The assasin in this moment moved to the child, and whispered for him to be very quiet if he wanted to live. The assasin then proceeded to put the child behind him attatched to a rope, and hidden behind his cloak. This was how Joshua travelled to Lucerne, and when they arrived the assasin brought him to the steps of the Lucerne orphanage and left him there.

If House Jackson was the centerpoint of the rebellion then their vassal house in House Nune had been the communicator of the rebellion. House Nune was entirely inside Bredgooden when the attack against House Jackson were launched, and like much of the town they didn't notice as the killings went on, but when the assassins entered their home the members of House Nune awoke to the sounds of screaming as the entire House Nune was put to the torch. Unlike House Jackson who they required Walter Jackson alive they did not need anyone from House Nune alive so the assassins simply barred the doors and then proceeded to burn the house down with the entire house inside.



House Heard

In the same way that House Jackson had led the rebellion House Heard was one of the greater supporters and for this reason Bill made sure that their punishment was severe. At the time several of the sons of House Heard were located in Lucerne as they were serving inside the actual gaurd of Lucerne. The heir to the throne of House Heard in Martin Heard, along with his brother Telvin Heard were located in Lucerne and they were both summoned to their commanders office where when they entered they were attacked by the gaurds inside and killed. Their bodies were hung from the rafters of the Lucerne wall. Following this assassins entered the actual house heard home in Forks where they proceeded to butcher the entire family. The wife and children of Telvin were destroyed along with the patriarch of the house in Hektor Heard who was forced to be dragged throughout the house and look at the sene of his entire family destroyed.

In a mistake by the assasins the other side of House Heard was left alive because they were on a trip west to visit the city of Hillsbrad when the attacks were underway.

House Hale

When Tywin had come to Bill and told him the extent of the rebellion Bill had been shocked and terrified about the involvement of House Hale. Firstly he had once been close to Tarnide Hale, and for this reason he didn't know what to make of his betrayal and for the second reason House Hale had made themselves so important financially that Bill couldn't just destroy them as he did all the other rebels invovled. In order to make sure Tarnide Hale understood he went personally alongside his personal gaurd during the night of the attacks and forced the entire house to watch as his gaurds murdered Tarnide Hale II. who was the heir to House Hale. Bill Lovie said the following before walking out.

"Understand that this was nothing more then a warning. Don't involve yourself in rebellions again or you'll find it won't matter how much money you control I'll just take it all.  You better understand what happened her because if this has to be explained again there won't be any of you alive to tell me that they understand."

-Bill Lovie

With his departure the rest of House Hale sobbed over the death of Tarnide Hale II.
