The Mad King was a long-haul, secretive plot run by Casa di Cavalieri leadership from January – September 2020. It involved hidden villains disguised as average members whose identities and true motives were not revealed until six-months (9 months, for one member) after their initial introduction in-game. It made use of the pack's founding leadership, Jazper Rhiannon-Knight's history, throwing back to his and many of the pack's Knight's Scottish roots.

While a handful of non-plot privy players were given various, smaller roles within the plot, Casa di Cavalieri players, as a whole, were still left in the dark about the plot in its entirety to leave them guessing about what would happen next.

The plot itself resulted in the death of long-time pack leader, Lune Luca Knight, and the temporary formation of a new council, The Knights of Fenris—led by Warlord Cedric Stryder, Laborhead Honrin Wolfe-Denahlii, First Officer Jamie O'Neil, First Officer Raghnall Thorburn, and First Cadet Nayavota Denahlii—to come into power shortly afterwards. At the plot's end, Cedric Stryder ascended to Lune as his father's successor, as well, Sola Aldora Knight reclaimed her previous title as part of the pack's leadership.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, sed ne splendide consequat. Duo te probo justo tacimates, congue tempor cu sit.
