Fifth Siege of Tanugra

The **Siege of Tanugra** Citadel was the first major defeat for the Fifth Dubaraszian Republic during the 2nd Dubaraszian Civil War and the final battle fought of the string of uprisings in the Gairncorm regions of the Dubaraszian Northwest. It was the 2nd bloodiest battle to take place in the 2nd Dubaraszian Civil War and marked the end of Caialutite ambitions in the West. The remnants of both the dwindling Dubaraszian Free State, Quaredriatic Free Territory & numerous other territories would end up being merged into the monolithic Caludonhian Union, creating an amalgamation of might in the west finally strong enough to rival the Fifth Dubaraszian Republic who had long laid east of the Harkhedale River in wait for the next confrontation.

## End of the Siege

### River Harkedhale Massacre

On the dawn of April 15th, Ervathus Quaredrian, Warlord Commander of the Quaredriatic Free Territory ordered no quarter to be given for all retreating members of the Aumares Brigade out of personal vengeance. As the 74th Brigade reached Tannengrad's harbor front on the west bank of the Harkedhale River, the 79 remaining Fevundasi Black Guards accompanied by scores of bandits and peasant soldiers opened fire on the escaping soldiers, aiming for anything that moved. Ervathus Quaredrian himself would take part in the slaughter and in fact, reveled in it.
