Siege of Vapore

The sun hadn't risen yet when the Army of Penance was sighted at the horizon.
When they from the West, and destroyed everything that crossedd their path.
They stopped before the walls of Vapore, and their leader came closer and shouted, with an inhumanly loud voice: "Repent!".
Receiving no response from inside, he began the attack.
The siege lasted for two years and a half before Lady Lynne guided what was left of the city's army to defeat the invaders.
Leonard Teapot, Chronicle of the War of Penance
