The Branch of Linden was a human supremacist organization operating out of Tethyr in the late 1400s DR.[1][2]

Activities[]

It was composed of supporters of Evonne Linden and her revolt against her half-sister Anais Rhindaun as queen of Tethyr. The Branch of Linden worked to overthrow the queen and install Evonne's daughter Ysabel Linden on the throne.[1][2]

History[]

Following the Children's Massacre in the 1469 DR and the death of Evonne Linden, Anais's own grandfather Reinhold blamed Anais and created the Branch of Linden.[1]

After several skirmishes between the queen's army and the Branch of Linden, with the last and worst on the Ebenspy Plateau, the rebels retreated into Ebenspy Keep. After several days of siege, half of them died with a coughing sickness and the queen's soldiers broke the siege and seized the castle, defeating the Branch of Linden. The leaders were hanged before the High Palace at Darromar.[2]

After that, the Branch of Linden were believed to be wiped out.[2] Yet the organization survived and was resurgent in the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR.[1][3]
