A conspiracy against King Roger III formed in 249 HE. The conspiracy was headed by Prince Baird, the king's younger brother who wanted the throne for himself. They kidnapped Prince Gareth of Conté, the king's only child, and would have sold him into slavery if they were not stopped by Sabine of Macayhill and Rebakah Cooper.
