The Great Betrayal

"'As King Odin's firstborn, Prince Thor was the heir to the gilded throne. But the fiery prince had none of his father's wisdom, and much more of his cruelty. His half-brother, Baldr the Beloved, was favored as a ruler by nearly all of the court. But there were those that would not take any chance of allowing the kindhearted young prince to watch over the 9 realms. Baldr died by an assassin's dart, and with his death began the bloodiest conflict the realm had ever seen.'"The Great Betrayal refers to a series of events that took place in Asgard prior to Alignment. While the exact details are not clear, it is known that a civil war broke out in Asgard following the assassination of Baldr.
