Operation Faded Cross

Operation Faded Cross, also known as the Von Karlen Incident, was an Inquisition operation undertaken in 1128 PL, with the objective of ending the Von Karlen noble family through the assassination of all its remaining living members. It was deemed necessary in order to destroy the resident spirits of Daudaer the Faded and Meria the Bloodied, two Elven children of Rhegasil of the Profane, that were dormant with the family's bloodline.

The operation was an official success, as all members of the Von Karlen family capable of reproduction were killed, but an unofficial failure, as Elspeth von Karlen managed to survive the attack. Elspeth would use Operation Faded Cross as the justification for revenge against the Inquisition in 1142 PL, though she would ultimately be slain by Klemens Vollmacht and his team before her plans could be realised.
