Third Siege of Korth

Military action

Showing some signs of recovery, Queen Dannel ordered a new offensive against the hated Karrns in 971. The Cyran forces, heavily supplemented by new warforged units, once again pushed north and laid siege to Korth.

It was never a particularly active siege, but rather one intended to strangle Karrnath and slowly demoralize the nation, with its king effectively held prisoner by Cyran troops. Cyre maintained the siege for nearly two years, and King Jaron never left the city—indeed, he was rarely seen outside the palace, where he consulted with his generals and fomented strategies to repel the invaders.
