The Royal SeaWing Massacre was an event that occurred in roughly 3,011 AS. It happened at a banquet that Queen Lagoon held at the sunset beach of the Island Palace. A large number of SeaWings, including nine members of the royal family and Princess Sunset, a SkyWing, were killed by Albatross, whose animus magic drove him insane.
Description
Lagoon held a banquet to negotiate with the SkyWings over territory. SeaWing villages encroached onto the Sky Kingdom's shores, sparking concern from the SkyWing queen, Carmine.[1] Two SkyWing guests, Princess Sunset and Eagle, attended the banquet. It was not long until Albatross appeared and started his murdering spree, killing any dragons that appeared in his way. The massacre ultimately ended with most of the royal family and Princess Sunset dead, and Queen Pearl ascending to the throne at a young age.
Timeline
- The banquet started before sunset, with Princess Sunset and Eagle arriving as guests.

- Albatross then targeted the SkyWings before proceeding to kill the royal SeaWings.[4] Only Eagle survived.
- The mad animus was taken down by the combined efforts of Fathom and Indigo. Fathom successfully enchanted spears to kill his grandfather.[5]
- Pearl became the queen since she was the only surviving heir. She promised the SkyWings tributes of gems and seafood for the next five years due to Sunset's death and to keep the massacre a secret.[6]
- Fathom lied to Pearl about how Indigo defeated Albatross, which would eventually be recorded into Pyrrhian history.[7]
