Tragedy of Duscur

The Tragedy of Duscur occurred in the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus in Imperial Year 1176. A number of Kingdom aristocrats were assassinated in the inciting incident, including King Lambert and Glenn, first son of Lord Rodrigue. Crown Prince Dimitri, also present at the attack, was the sole survivor. The people of Duscur, a small, barren peninsula on the northern coast of Faerghus, were blamed for the attack, and the Kingdom brutally subjugated the region and nearly exterminated its people in retaliation. In the aftermath, Duscur was annexed by the Kingdom and gifted to House Kleiman to rule.

One of the survivors of the Tragedy of Duscur was Dedue, who was saved through the intervention of Dimitri and became his retainer. Ingrid, who had been betrothed to Glenn from birth, continues to resent the Duscur people due to her fiance's murder.
