Master vs. Apprentice
編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation
This coup sounded chaotic, but it was simple in nature. In short, the sorceress Philippa Eilhart had joined forces with Redania's head of intelligence, Sigismund Dijkstra, and they planned to kill the sorcerers in Thanedd Island who were secretly supporting the Nilfgaardian Empire. Due to this, even Francesca Findabair, the one who led the Scoia'tael was deemed a traitor. Originally, the coup went down successfully. However, some started retaliating. As a result, the magical spells that prevented the use of magic in the tower was removed, and chaos broke out in the academy… everyone soon became involved in battle, whether they wanted it or not.
This coup was also the event that triggered the second war between the Nilfgaardian Empire and the Northern Kingdoms.
