SIN Lays Siege To Ron Fay’s La Vila Strangiato

It appears that the claimers have finally drawn Ron Fay’s oft-moved city into a battle. This evening, server time, the Herald noted a new siege on Ron Fay’s city of La Vila Strangiato:

Player Being Sieged: Ron Fay [Stomp] City: La Villa Strangiato [704|-1836] in Pawanallpa Sieger: Fiona [SIN] Date/Time: Sat 18 Jul 20:00

This is the first siege that SIN has attempted on one of Stomps newly-exodused cities in Pawanallpa. Stomp appears to be positioning these news cities on flat plains, giving siegers no real terrain options. This single siege — which currently has no accompanying blockade — will be exposed to cavalry attacks from nearby Stomps cities.

La Vila Strangiato has been one of the most high-profile cities in the Stomp/Claimers war, and holds perhaps the strangest story. After Fay exodused the city into the Newlands, he abruptly exodused it back to Elgea in order to avoid an early TVM siege attempt in the war. After dropping out of the headlines for some time, the city surprisingly showed back up in the Broken Lands, this time in Pawanallpa, the site of the most active battlefield in the war.

Ron Fay clearly sent the city back into the BL fray in order to use it to provide assistance to the remaining embattled Stomp cities in the otherwise Aesir-dominated region, and perhaps be part of a new Stomp cluster designed to take the fight to the claimers in the Broken Lands.
