In Aprilis of 352, individuals with noble blood began to get sick all across
[[Lithmore]], and then all across the Kingdom. The disease from which they
suffered involved terrible bruising and bleeding from all orifices. It soon
became apparent that those most closely related to the royal line - Queen
Gemera's own - were the worst-afflicted, and as more distant relations
recovered the rest only grew sicker.

In June of 352, Queen Gemara ab Harmon perished as the last representative of
her immediate bloodline, and Lithmore was left without a clear line of
succession. Six contenders rose to declare themselves as interested in the
throne.

Eschewing civil war, the contenders sought to win the approbation of the
Kingdom as a whole with the aid of their supporters. Several favorites rose
and fell over the four-month period of indecision. Eventually, the Kingdom
aligned itself behind Tobin ab Samael, who became the first monarch of the
new Samael dynasty in Octobris of 352.
