Editing Sacrifice of Roses

The '''Sacrifice of Roses''' was an event that happened during the Second Antinium War. Many [Lords] and even more [Ladies] lost their lives here to push back the forces of the [[Goblin Kings|Goblin King]].

== Background ==
During the Second Antinium War, Izril had to fight against multiple threats. part of it was the [[Antinium]], but the necromancer was also active, as was the goblin king, [[Velan]]. Due to all of these fights, the north of Izril was running out of fighting forces. When the Goblin King attempted to take the north, many ladies of Izril took to the field in [[First Landing]]<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/06/24/7-30/ Chapter 7.30]</ref> and sacrificed their lives to turn the goblins back. Through this sacrifice, they did manage to kill one of Velan's Goblin Lords, [[Murmar]].<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/23/s02-the-antinium-wars-pt-3/ The Antinium Wars Pt. 3]</ref> This was the first time that one of Velan's Goblin Lords was killed and so the Goblin King abandoned his direct attack of First Landing and instead focused on pillaging the countryside.

== Families Affected ==
While most families of Izril were affected in some way, some were hurt more than others:

* [[Rie Valerund|Rie Valerund's]] entire family was erased<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/24/7-24/ Chapter 7.24]</ref>
* Each of the Five Families lost members in the sacrifice though [[Wellfar Family|House Welfar]] felt these losses most harshly due to them already having few members<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/29/8-40-ctv/ Chapter 8.40 CTV]</ref>
* The line of [[House Walchaís]] was ended personally by Velan the Kind though Lady [[Bethal Walchaís]] survived.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/06/15/6-25/ Chapter 6.25]</ref>
