Siege of Alameen

Military action

After a long and bloody siege, the Pilgrim Army takes Alameen, the richest city in the Mashiq. However, their losses are heavy and even one of their commanders, Lady Alysaria the Lioness is gravely injured during the battle.

In 309 SE, the Pilgrims attacked Alameen, the largest city in the Mashiq. After a long and bloody siege, the Pilgrims captured the city, losing some 10,000 men in the process. However, one of the emir’s sons had hid his forced in foothills of the Sulfur Sea and attacked while the walls of the city were still being repaired. The Pilgrims were sure all hope was lost, when Lady Alysaria the Lioness led a daring charge against the reinforcements. The Lioness broke through the battlelines, killing scores of Qartagonians before confronting the enemy commander and slaying him and his wyvern mount. Though gravely injured, this act of bravery rallied the Pilgrim defenders allowing them to snatch victory once more.
