The Sack Of Sunvale

The Sack Of Sunvale was an event that occurred at the city of Sunvale, which was the capital of Coalvalley at the time during Lord Kross' War.

Background
House Bohn had deemed Coalvalley weak enough to defeat since they had just barely managed to fight off the combined forces of Bymead and Falldale. House Bohn gave Coalvalley six months after The Year Of Thorns until they invaded, striking out at the capital of Sunvale and Fairebridge first.

A force under Lord Kross Bohn, the head of House Bohn and Lord Of Coldoak at the time, went to lay siege to Sunvale, while a separate force under Sir Hifur Koss attacked Fairebridge while three separate forces, under Augustus Bohn, Baron Cedric Bohn and Sir Hanz Bohn respectively, went between the two to prevent aid arriving to either of the two besieged cities.

The Sack Of Sunvale
The Sack Of Sunvale began after the siege broke through Sunvale's defenses. Lord Austin Levigne led the defenses, which held out admirably long but not long enough, as relief could not he provided by other armies levied up in Coalvalley, as they were busy with the forces led by Sir Augustus Bohn, Baron Cedric Bohn and Sir Hanz Bohn.

The city was ultimately taken, with Lord Austin holding out till the end, though he sent his family out of the city through a secret entrance once defeat became certain. The soldiers of Lord Kross Bohn were unleashed upon the city's populace; butchering, raping and pillaging. Thousands of civilians died; men, children, women and children raped and murdered, their heads displayed on the city walls along with their lord's, as soon as Lord Austin fell.
