Minalan's assault on Castle Salaisus after Dunselen and Isily are exposed as conspirators — Dunselen dies, Isily is left comatose, and Alya's mind is shattered in the blast.

The Greenflower Magewar is the climactic personal catastrophe of Court Wizard. Baron Dunselen and his wife Isily are exposed as conspirators with Lady Mask and the Enshadowed. Minalan convenes his warmagi and storms Castle Salaisus.

Alya personally leads the final assault on the keep. Dunselen dies in the battle; Alya strikes Isily's witchstone with her dagger pommel; the resulting blast reduces Isily to a witless body, shatters Alya's mind, and produces the secondary Bluestone effect that gave Taren his first calcium-transmutation data point. It is, by any measure, Minalan's costliest victory.
