The War of Silver Knives was far less a war than a series of tit-for-tat assassinations involving the Dilisnya, Katsky and the Petrovna families. Izabela Dilisnya, aged matriarch of her line, was assassinated in 314 BC. The crime was blamed upon the Katsky and the Petrovna families. They had been locked in a dispute with the Dilisnyas over the rights to the prosperous (but now played out) silver mines of Mount Gries. There was also a century of accumulated ill-will between the families. The assassination touched off the War of Silver Knives. Count Barov von Zarovich ordered an end to it in 316 BC. Peace was restored, but the distraction and the losses helped pave the way for the Terg Invasion in 320 BC.[1]

The Ba'al Verzi flourished during the War's era, for they conducted many of the assassinations on various parties' behalves[2]
