Category:Katsky Family

This section contains canon info from officially published sources

The Katsky Family was a noble family of Prime Material Barovia and perhaps remains a noble family of Barovia. In 314 BC, Izabela Dilisnya, the aged matriarch of her line, was assassinated. 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. It was far less a war than a series of tit-for-tat assassinations that Count Barov von Zarovich ordered an end to in 316 BC. Peace was restored, but the distraction and the losses helped pave the way for the Terg Invasion in 320 BC.
