North Mine Massacre

The North Mine Massacre was a terrorist attack in the year 287 4A that left 37 miners dead.

Magickers seized the mine, demanding that magic no longer be prohibited in the Galdradic Empire. After nearly a weeklong standoff, the magicker rebels ignited a gas vein, destroying the North Mine and killing all inside. Due to all bodies being destroyed in the explosion, the number of rebels is unknown, though 37 miners who where taken hostage were presumed dead.''The mine actually exploded in a failed raid by the Emperor's Falguarda. Any evidence of government involvement was erased, and all blame was placed on magickers.''

As a consequence public support for the death penalty for magickers rose, and magicking became a capital offense.
