A new war has erupted between two major Illyriad alliances, pitting the predominantly Elgean Dwarven Lords [Dlord] against Agalloch’s Unfettered [TUF]. The war, which was sparked by a Dlords declaration, appears to center on disputed silversteel mines.
In a statement to the Times, Dlords leader Belegar Ironhammer did not mince words, saying, “This is a preemptive strike to protect our mines from future attacks planned by TUF and in retaliation for TUF attacks on Dlord sieges in the Broken Lands on non-TUF players.”
The Times also received an official statement from TUF concerning the war:
This war has been expected since Dlords has been diploing members of TUF for about months without any aggressive moves by TUF. The only thing done was an assisted siege break of a Dlords siege several weeks ago, as we feel it isn’t right for a player to be punished in game for a certain view on the forums.We hope this war is enjoyable, best of luck to Dlords.
Dlords have worked quickly to engage TUF, setting up a siege right at the onset of the war on Agalloch’s alt Elfs Bane. The city of “..Grew a Pair?” was swarmed on by the Dlords and sieged by Belegar Ironhammer, who later confirmed to the Times that the city had indeed been razed:
..Grew a Pair?, belonging to Elfs Bane which was located at 645|-539 has been razed by Belegar Ironhammer.
This war has the earmarks of being a serious, potentially protracted conflict. Should siege operations continue, the Times will publish a War Score Card for the war and track sieges and siege breaks.
