Tanya Besieged As Dlords Hit Fairy Leader in Contentious Siege of Alliance’s Capital City

The Fairy/Dlords war flared up again, with a bold, new Dlords-led siege targeting Illyriad veteran and Fairy leader TanyaFairy’s alliance capital in what looks to be a major operation. The Herald is now reporting the details of the siege, which touched down earlier today:

The siege pits Tanya against her arch-foe Belegar Ironhammer, who once again is looking to deliver a major victory for the Dlords, along with a siege by Skybreaker, which was the first set up on the city.

In spite of being Fairy’s capital city, Pixie Hollow is situated in precarious terrain, with small mountains on either side. Dlord has taken advantage of this terrain and is stationed on these small mountains. The sieges will prove extremely difficult for Tanya and her group to break.

Just as the Newlands Wars appears to be winding down, a new war has erupted among two of the older alliances in Illyriad. Today at 2:28 server time, the Dwarven Lords [Dlord] declared war on the Illyriad Fairy Nation [Fairy]. The war declaration was later posted in the Herald’s diplomacy section:

 

Illyria Fairy Nation [Fairy] and Dwarven Lords [Dlord] enter War

Tue 27 Oct 2015

Little is known about what precipitated the war declaration between Dlords and Fairy, however, this is not the first time that there has been tension between those involved in the two alliances, as Dlords once did battle with Fairy’s sister alliance, the Fairy Roads Authority [Roads] during the Consone war.

Dlords was founded in April of 2010 — the first year of Illyriad’s history — while Fairy was founded in December of 2012. Both alliances have a presence in the Broken Lands, but are predominantly based in Elgea. Fighting is likely to coalesce around the region of Arran and Turalia, where both alliances have a well-supported cluster of cities.
