Siege of Caroha

The Siege of Caroha, lasting from RM 724 to RM 726, was the major engagement of the War of the Second Feast. A huge Vellari army under the personal command of Taracis the Cruel laid siege to Caroha, constructing double lines of circumvallation, while an equally large fleet blockaded the straits. Despite the enormous force brough to bear, Caroha's fortifications proved impenetrable, and the impossibility of completely blockading the harbour rendered any attempt to starve out the defenders impossible. Ultimately, the simultaneous arrival of a large Seshweay relief force mustered in the Sesh delta and an Aghrali force shipped across the straits by a Helsian fleet threatened to cut off the Accan retreat. Taracis elected to retreat rather than chance a battle, and abandoned the siege in failure.
