Royal SeaWing Massacre

The SeaWing Royal Massacre is an event that occurred over 2,000 years before the events of the main series. During the massacre, at least 9 members of the royal family (not including guards) were killed by Albatross, the royal animus, before a dragon (revealed during Darkstalker to be Indigo and Fathom's combined efforts, instead of just Indigo as written by history) killed him with a spear. The event lead to animus magic being banned from the Kingdom, leading to Fathom swearing an oath with his sister, the newly appointed Queen Pearl, never to use his magic (which he broke once to defeat Darkstalker), and never to have children, so as not to pass on the animus powers (Also broken).

After the event took place, the SeaWings made a deal with the SkyWings to not spread the news to the other tribes, and promised them fine seafood and jewelry for the next year or so.

The massacre occurred at the Island Palace from chapters 6-8 of Darkstalker.
