The Brelish Siege of Cragwar

Military action

The forces of Breland launch a siege to take the rich mines of Cragwar, but the siege exacts a high price.

In Breland, the high command received ailing King Boranex’s approval for an attempt to retake the rich mines of Cragwar, this time from its new lords in Aundair. Although this would prove to be the only major confrontation between regular Aundairian and Brelish forces, the month-long siege featured heavy fighting and much bloodshed.   Among the dead were two princes, Boranex’s eldest. In the end, the city was taken and the royal bodies recovered, but the price paid in Brelish morale was high. The entire nation mourned the brothers, and bards soon named them the “Martyrs of Cragwar.”
