Dread Fleet mutiny

The Dread Fleet mutiny was a rebellion with the "True Dread Fleet" commanded by Jehra Kass`l during the Brothers' War.

Jehra, the daughter of Lothar Kass`l, was nineteen years old and had only been a commander for two years when her father was assassinated and her half-brothers, Broll and Veli, assumed control of the Dread Fleet's capital, Belzior, and many of its ships. She challenged her brothers, but failed to capture Belzior, and fought inconclusive engagements against her brothers over the next two years.

Eventually, her more seasoned captains began to conspire against her, feeling her repeated failures proved her unworthiness to lead, especially given that neither Broll nor Veli had much real tactical experience. The situation only became worse when Zongar, King of the s, entered the conflict and began to harass Jehra's territory. Eventually a half-dozen captains and several of their officers planned to kill Jehra, seize her fleet, defeat Broll and Veli, and unite the Dread Fleet under their control.

Warned of the plot at the last moment, Jehra had to fight for her life with her own s. She managed to kill the assassins, though she was injured in the fight, and her survival made some of the conspirators hesitate. Rallying the fleet, she had the treacherous captains arrested and put to death, but the entire affair weakened morale, especially as Jehra herself took to being accompanied by her Dread Sentinels everywhere in the wake of the mutiny.
