Solasi falls to Dhas

Military action

"In the end, they begged for mercy. So I told them I would grant the only mercy they knew of. The pagans did not seem to understand what I meant by it, until they heard the screams of the first being impaled on the city walls." -Dhas

Crucifer forces lead by Dhas arrive outside of Solaris on the 14th of Eldralla. Dhas sets siege around the city, then she orders Not-Seen to infiltrate the city.   On the night of the 16th of Eldralla, Not-seen smuggle the chieftain of the city and his family outside and into the Crucifer Camp.   On the 17th, about mid-day, Dhas climbs to the top of a siege tower and orders the chieftain and his family brought up. She tortures them in full view of the city walls for hours before killing the family in front of the chieftain, and then killing him as well.   On the 18th of Eldralla, the city of Solaris waves the white banner and opens their city gates.   Dhas marches her forces inside of the city, but does not accept the surrender of cult forces. She orders her men to fight fleeing cultists. By the end of day, 30,000 cultists have been killed, and roughly 5,000 captured.   Dhas orders the cultist captives to be impaled on the walls, but spares the remaining peasantry.
