After Curon announces their crimes of breaking a pact with Renatus while preparing for a siege on Norland, they sought to finally deal with Curons crimes as they began to send a raven to Count Eimar who lived south of Curon. A few days later a war camp was placed in the forest downhill of the Curonic palace near Cyrilsburg, and as the war camp was built giving Count Eimar the ability to scale the walls on numerous occasions undetected having the Ram’s Brigade wrought havoc in the city, capturing many members of House Devereux and government officials, executing some and imprisoning others. While doing this he was able to see an opportunity to storm Cyrilsburg having fewer casualties.

On the 11th of Snow’s Maiden 1661, an army of the size of 2400 soldiers gathered in the camp, under the command of Count Eimar, and his vassals. As the army marched uphill at midday towards Cyrilsburg. Count Eimar lead a band consisting of fourty men over the walls during the day and successfully captured Linette, using these fourty men to seize control of the town to allow the rest of his army to enter the town to seize it.
