The '''Midnight Coup''' (also known as '''Ghaul's coup''') was a military-led coup d'état against the former [[Cabal Emperor]], [[Emperor Calus|Calus]]. It occurred thousands of years before the [[Red War]], and resulted in [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul]]'s ascension to [[Dominus]] of the [[Cabal|Cabal Empire]], as well as the militarization of [[Cabal]] culture.<ref>[[Cabal Booklet]]</ref> Most members of the coup were assassinated by Calus's shadows, except for the Consul and Ghaul, who the former was killed by the latter, and the latter was killed by the Guardians. The only confirmed survivor is [[Caiatl]], as [[Otzot|Otzot's]] whereabouts are currently unknown. | The '''Midnight Coup''' (also known as '''Ghaul's coup''') was a military-led coup d'état against the former [[Cabal Emperor]], [[Emperor Calus|Calus]].
