| − | The '''Storming of Cyrilsburg''' was a battle fought between the forces of the County of Götha and the Principality of Curon part of the war known as the [[Atlas Coalition War]]. Originally intended as a siege, [[Eimar I of Götha|Count Eimar]] was ordered by [[Prince Antonius Horen]] to besiege Cyrilsburg and seize any and all lands that the principality controlled to permanently dissolve the state for its crimes against the N.A.A and Götha.

| |
| − | After Curon announced breaking of the pact with the N.A.A while preparing for a siege on Norland, the alliance sought to finally deal with Curons after repeated failures to uphold their promises to the alliance. As Count [[Eimar I of Götha|Count Eimar]] was moving his contingent of the rams brigade and vassals northwards towards Norland, he was stopped by Lord Marshal Antonius to set up a camp south of Curon to besiege Curon whilst the rest of Renatus forces and the N.A.A where to take on Ruriksgrad.

As the army marched uphill at midday towards Cyrilsburg. [[Eimar I of Götha|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.
