Royal SeaWing Massacre
The Royal SeaWing Massacre occurred after Prince Albatross of the SeaWings built the Summer Palace over 2000 years before the events of the series. As an animus dragon, Albatross's powers eventually overtook his soul, and he was driven insane. During a party arranged by the queen, Albatross managed to kill nine members of his own family, Queen Lagoon, King Humpback, Splash, Reef and Manta, Scallop, Eel, Princess Sunset of the SkyWings, and an unknown musician, leaving only Fathom, his grandson, Indigo, best friends with Fathom, and Pearl, the heir to the throne, before being stabbed through the heart by a spear. A SkyWing named Eagle also survives and flies back to the Sky Kingdom.
In The Lost Heir, Anemone mentioned the Royal SeaWing Massacre when she explained the side effects of using animus magic. She didn't like Whirlpool making her use her powers because she didn't want to be like Albatross.
In Moon Rising, Moonwatcher is encouraged by Darkstalker to read a scroll about animus touched objects, which reveals some information about Prince Albatross and the Royal SeaWing Massacre, although the passage is mostly about Fathom.
The massacre happens in Chapters 6 and 8 in Darkstalker (Legends).
