Shark has once again completed an audacious siege in TVM’s land claim, this time razing Lorcan’s city of Ennis in Oarnamly in a region packed with TVM cities. The Times first reported on the landing of the siege on October 12th as complement to their operation against TVM in the Newlands against Fediglio. This morning, Shark officials confirmed that the city has indeed been razed:

Ennis, belonging to Lorcan which was located at -193|-2085 has been razed by Haroldus.

This is yet another high-profile raze for Shark, who managed to siege on of TVM’s top military players is what is arguably the alliance’s true homeland; eastern Oarnamly was the region that TVM first settled in when they migrated from Elgea at the end of the Great War. The locality where Lorcan was razed is filled with TVM cities, however, a quick scan of the region indicates that many of the cities appear to be underdeveloped and not running full sovereignty. It remains to be seen what level of military assets remain for TVM, especially after the contentious failed siege of BayNights in Newlands two weeks ago.

The Times has reached out to Shark leaders for more information on the siege and will update this article accordingly.

 [UPDATED — 10/16/2015]

The Times reached out to Haroldus on the details of this particular siege, and confirmed early reports that the siege was largely uncontested by TVM. Haroldus noted, “. . . we did not expect to be coming home with our are forces largely intact, and the fact that we were able to do so is largely due to SHARK’s teamwork and the military pressure other players have been putting on them elsewhere in a coordinated way. I do think it is telling that a TVM leader withdraws a city from Newlands (Wiclow) and that they did not break a siege in the middle of their territory.  The reason why remains to be seen.  We marched 2000 squares from Elgea to fight on those two hills, so I can’t say that we were totally satisfied, despite it ending in a raze. As far as I know, there has been no attempt on the part of TVM leaders to contact SHARK, and therefore our operations are ongoing.”
