Vaden II was the crown prince of The Empire who took the throne after the assassination of his father, Emperor Vaden I, and whose reign ended in the civil war known as the Rise and Fall of the Usurper.¹

Crown prince

On Victory Day, Crown Prince Vaden II fought with honour at the head of the esteemed cavalry unit Gladio Heredite. He was a respected heir with two children, and his wife, Lady Thedora, was a benevolent figure beloved by the common people.²

Accession

In 24 AVD a terrible civil war shook the Empire. Emperor Vaden I, the hero of Victory Day, was found assassinated in his bed, and it was claimed that his killer was a Chain Warden. Someone was swiftly accused, arrests and executions followed, and Vaden II took the throne hastily and without much ceremony, swearing to avenge his father. Derek Sunshield, Grandmaster of the Palanthor Knights, had supported him wholeheartedly since the first hours of that night.²

Reign

As his first act, the new emperor declared every member of the Order of Chain an outlaw and began a hunt for Chain Wardens across the realm. Legions marched on their strongholds, and even those who fled beyond the Empire's borders were pursued and killed with no regard for diplomacy; historians hold that within a year seven out of every ten Chain Wardens were dead.²

Vaden II secured the loyalty of some of his father's advisers and pushed others from power. Marus Salinor, who had commanded the Alliance Army on Victory Day, did not believe the story of the assassination, and the realm split between the loyalists who kept faith with the throne and the sceptics led by Salinor. Because Imperial tradition made it unthinkable to replace an emperor with someone of another lineage, the rebels rallied around Elatan, an illegitimate son of Vaden I.²

The reputation of the Order of Palanthor was tarnished in the civil war, because its Grandmaster stood alongside the usurper and became part of the conspiracy.³

Fall

The conflict quickly became a war, and it ended with a sudden raid on the Marble Palace. Vaden II was dethroned and accused of killing his father, and Elatan I took the throne in 27 AVD.¹
