In [[2467]], Alistair Steiner was assassinated and the initial evidence pointed to Michael Reynolds. Michael Steiner assumed the Archonship but held off on sentencing the Duke, convinced that the Duke was incapable of being behind such an act; the lack of action caused civil unrest in a nation already reeling with shock over the assassination. Fortunately for Duke Reynolds, the [[LIC]] conducted a special investigation that identified the true perpetrator of the plot as [[Graf (noble title)|Graf]] [[Alfonse DeSimon]], a minor nobleman from Fatima. DeSimon had attempted to frame Duke Reynolds out of a desire for revenge; Duke Reynolds had previously responded to DeSimon's abuse of his workers by stripping the Graf of his titles and lands. DeSimon and his accomplices were executed, but their deaths couldn't prevent the Commonwealth from slipping into a period that became known later as the Dark Years because of the sense of uncertainty and loss arising from the assassination and its immediate aftermath.<ref name="HB:HSp20">''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 20: "The Dark Years"</ref>
