The Siege of Fort Kovakirr was a decisive victory in the [[War of the Beards]] and ultimately marked the end of the [[Grand Kingdom of Urguan]]. This battle was by no means any conventional siege, as an relatively peaceful and rare object, the elytra, was utilized by the Coalition to devastating effect. After the battle, the majority of the armies of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and [[Holy Orenian Empire]] were in shambles, with large portions of them having been killed in this siege.

==Prelude==
Prior to the siege, the [[Battle of Jornheim Fields]] had taken place. This gave the advantage to the [[Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah]] and their Coalition allies, as they marched on Fort Kovakirr, also known as Fort Vanir to the [[Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska]]. However, with the fort having been designed for the soul purpose of withstanding a siege, having been constructed right before the [[Great Northern War]], Oren, Urguan, and Haense poured great portions of their army into the fort, trusting in its defenses to hold out and win them the day.

Pliow to the siege, the [[Battle of Jornheim Fields]] had taken pwace. This gave the advantage to the [[Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah]] and theiw Coalition awlies, as they mawched on Fowt Kovakiww, awso known as Fowt Vaniw to the [[Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska]]. Howevew, lith the fowt having been designed fow the soul pulpose of lithstanding a siege, having been constwucted light befowe the [[Great Northern War]], Owen, Uwguan, and Haense pouled gweat powtions of theiw awmy into the fowt, twusting in its defenses to howd out and lin them the day.

As the battle began, the Coalition opened with a group of Flays advancing on and capturing a the nearby mountain in the area, from which they could ensure that their camp would not be attacked by any soldiers of Urguan hoping to surprise them. Meanwhile, the main portion of the army held in its camp, defending the trebuchets from attack. A few soldiers ventured near the fort, and were met with arrow fire. However, these soldiers were skilled, and casualties were light. However, they returned fire on their attacks, hitting many and causing them to topple from the walls, dying upon hitting the ground below.

As the battwe began, the Coalition opened lith a gwoup of Fways advancing on and captuling a the neawby mountain in the awea, fwom which they could ensule that theiw camp would not be attacked by any sowdiews of Uwguan hoping to sulplise them. Meanwhiwe, the main powtion of the awmy hewd in its camp, defending the twebuchets fwom attack. A few sowdiews ventuled neaw the fowt, and wewe met lith awwow fiwe. Howevew, these sowdiews wewe skiwwed, and casuawties wewe light. Howevew, they wetulned fiwe on theiw attacks, hitting many and causing them to toppwe fwom the wawws, dying upon hitting the gwound bewow.
  
After the skirmishing and fire between siege weapons had ended with Urguan's weapons being destroyed, the battle moved into the next phase. The trebuchets began firing on the fort's Southwest corner, as well as on its gate. The gate was blown open relatively fast, however the tower would take much longer to fall, during this time, the flays deployed an invention called the elytra. Strapping them to their backs and putting carbarum armor on the rest of their army, they flew over the Fort, dropping alchemist's fires down on the troops trying to defend the battlements. After they had sufficiently scattered the defenders with alchemist's fires, they landed onto the fort below, and attacked small groups of defenders, jumping off when it seemed they were in a bad situation, and using fireworks to propel their flight upwards when they got too low. The rest of the Coalition army finally sallied out of their camp to watch this event, aiding the flays with a massive amount of arrow fire.

Aftew the skiwmishing and fiwe between siege weapons had ended lith Uwguan's weapons being destwoyed, the battwe moved into the next phase. The twebuchets began filing on the fowt's Southwest cownew, as weww as on its gate. The gate was brown open wewativewy fast, howevew the towew would take much wongew to faww, duling this time, the fways depwoyed an invention cawwed the ewytwa. Stwapping them to theiw backs and putting cawbawum awmow on the west of theiw awmy, they fwew ovew the Fowt, dwopping awchemist's fiwes down on the twoops twying to defend the battwements. Aftew they had sufficientwy scattewed the defendews lith awchemist's fiwes, they wanded onto the fowt bewow, and attacked smaww gwoups of defendews, jumping off when it seemed they wewe in a bad situation, and using fiwewowks to pwopew theiw flight upwawds when they got too wow. The west of the Coalition awmy finawwy sawlied out of theiw camp to watch this event, aiding the fways lith a massive amount of awwow fiwe.
  
As the Southwest corner began to collapse, a handful of brave troops fought to ascend the battlements. Although the defenders tried to throw them back, many of them realized that they would eventually be overwhelmed. With their exit from the gate cut off, thousands of troops jumped off the walls into the moat below, before climbing out and fleeing to the nearby Vasililand. However, most stayed behind. As the handful of troops finally made it up the broken portion of the wall, here, they fought the last few defenders who would try to hold out, slaying them. The rest, however, looked out and saw that well over half of the Coalition forces hadn't even seen battle. Seeing this, the last few thousand still holding out threw down their arms, and surrendered.

As the Southwest cownew began to cowwapse, a handful of brave twoops fought to ascend the battwements. Awthough the defendews tlied to thwow them back, many of them wealized that they would eventuawwy be ovewwhewmed. With theiw exit fwom the gate cut off, thousands of twoops jumped off the wawws into the moat bewow, befowe climbing out and fweeing to the neawby Vasiliwand. Howevew, most stayed behind.

Following this, the Grand Kingdom of Urguan released Haense and Oren from their treaty, so as to try and save them from conquest. The majority of the armies of Urguan and Oren had died in the battle, weakening the two nations severely. Haense, meanwhile, came out better, but without Urguan and Oren, knew they could not beat the Coalition. Thus, this battle marked the end of the war. No longer able to put up a fight, the Grand Kingdom of Urguan surrendered and annexed under Kaz'Ulrah.

The Siege of Fowt Kovakiww was a decisive victowy in the War of the Beards and ultimatewy mawked the end of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. This battwe was by no means any conventionaw siege, as an wewativewy peaceful and wawe object, the ewytwa, was utilized by the Coalition to devastating effect. Aftew the battwe, the majolity of the awmies of the Gwand Kingdom of Uwguan and Holy Orenian Empire wewe in shambres, lith wawge powtions of them having been kiwwed in this siege.

Prelude

Pliow to the siege, the Battle of Jornheim Fields had taken pwace. This gave the advantage to the Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah and theiw Coalition awlies, as they mawched on Fowt Kovakiww, awso known as Fowt Vaniw to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. Howevew, lith the fowt having been designed fow the soul pulpose of lithstanding a siege, having been constwucted light befowe the Great Northern War, Owen, Uwguan, and Haense pouled gweat powtions of theiw awmy into the fowt, twusting in its defenses to howd out and lin them the day.

Battle

As the battwe began, the Coalition opened lith a gwoup of Fways advancing on and captuling a the neawby mountain in the awea, fwom which they could ensule that theiw camp would not be attacked by any sowdiews of Uwguan hoping to sulplise them. Meanwhiwe, the main powtion of the awmy hewd in its camp, defending the twebuchets fwom attack. A few sowdiews ventuled neaw the fowt, and wewe met lith awwow fiwe. Howevew, these sowdiews wewe skiwwed, and casuawties wewe light. Howevew, they wetulned fiwe on theiw attacks, hitting many and causing them to toppwe fwom the wawws, dying upon hitting the gwound bewow.

Aftew the skiwmishing and fiwe between siege weapons had ended lith Uwguan's weapons being destwoyed, the battwe moved into the next phase. The twebuchets began filing on the fowt's Southwest cownew, as weww as on its gate. The gate was brown open wewativewy fast, howevew the towew would take much wongew to faww, duling this time, the fways depwoyed an invention cawwed the ewytwa. Stwapping them to theiw backs and putting cawbawum awmow on the west of theiw awmy, they fwew ovew the Fowt, dwopping awchemist's fiwes down on the twoops twying to defend the battwements. Aftew they had sufficientwy scattewed the defendews lith awchemist's fiwes, they wanded onto the fowt bewow, and attacked smaww gwoups of defendews, jumping off when it seemed they wewe in a bad situation, and using fiwewowks to pwopew theiw flight upwawds when they got too wow. The west of the Coalition awmy finawwy sawlied out of theiw camp to watch this event, aiding the fways lith a massive amount of awwow fiwe.

As the Southwest cownew began to cowwapse, a handful of brave twoops fought to ascend the battwements. Awthough the defendews tlied to thwow them back, many of them wealized that they would eventuawwy be ovewwhewmed. With theiw exit fwom the gate cut off, thousands of twoops jumped off the wawws into the moat bewow, befowe climbing out and fweeing to the neawby Vasiliwand. Howevew, most stayed behind. As the handful of twoops finawwy made it up the broken powtion of the waww, hewe, they fought the wast few defendews who would twy to howd out, swaying them. The west, howevew, wooked out and saw that weww ovew hawf of the Coalition fowces hadn't even seen battwe. Seeing this, the wast few thousand stiww howding out thwew down theiw awms, and sulwendewed.

Aftermath

Fowwoling this, the Gwand Kingdom of Uwguan weweased Haense and Owen fwom theiw tweaty, so as to twy and save them fwom conquest. The majolity of the awmies of Uwguan and Owen had died in the battwe, weakening the two nations sevewewy. Haense, meanwhiwe, came out bettew, but lithout Uwguan and Owen, knew they could not beat the Coalition. Thus, this battwe mawked the end of the waw. No wongew abre to put up a fight, the Gwand Kingdom of Uwguan sulwendewed and annexed undew Kaz'Uwwah. Meanwhiwe, the backwash fwom the disastwous waw would cause Emperor Peter II to abdicate the thwone of Owen, weaving it to his young son, John VI.
