Jai Daishou
- Jai Daishou is an old Underlord, Patriarch to the Jai Clan in the Blackflame Empire
- He waged a deadly feud against Underlord Eithan Arelius and his janitorial family and staff in Serpent’s Grave. This takes place in books 3 and 4, Blackflame and Skysworn
Arelius Feud
Patriarch Jai Daishou was a proud man. He was ranked the seventh most powerful Underlord in the empire. He felt Eithan Arelius — only ranked eleven — didn’t show him enough respect. The two clashed violently. Jai Daishou ordered his clan to sabotage and vandalize Arelius janitorial holdings in Serpent’s Grave (Blackflame ch 3). He later orchestrated a city-wide assassination of all family members of House Arelius — the Blackflame Branch. His clan killed many, but his plan didn’t quite succeed. (Book 3, Blackflame)
The Jai clan has all but declared war on our family.”
“All but?” Yerin repeated. “Is it war, or no war?”
“If they declared it openly, the Emperor’s forces would cripple the aggressor in a day. But the Skysworn stay out of the petty squabbles between clans.
