Battle of the Pillars of the Sun

The Battle of the Pillars of Sun was the second battle of the Allium-Coalition War, fought on July 27, 2021. It is considered by some to be a part of the Battle of New Dorasterrock, as the two occurred contemporaneously and affected each other. This battle involved an attack by the Southern Coalition on the autonomous neutral city-state known as the Pillars of Sun, home to the famous Pog Bar, because the coalition believed it to be the capital of Andorn, one of the constituent states of Bardonia (the true capital of Andorn is Orilin).

Combat leaders Eric2772 and Luke6556 of Alamayn organized twenty-nine Coalition fighters and raided the town. Moyye & several Hand members Dex_Og, Dotto21, Yaykei, Ezexus, and ThunderfanTV would help defend Pillars of Sun in the interests of HimoS401, as Pillars of Sun was a nominally independent state within Bardonia and thus unaffiliated with their wars.

The attackers traveled through a nether portal and waited for the first wave, which had players Luke6556, SipForge, Tra1lblazer and Cherry enter the city with invisibility potions and TNT. The TNT was placed to grief the city and distract the Hands, so the battle at New Dorasterrock would go smoothly for Coalition allies. Later, and with full gear, the rest of the troops, led by Eric2772, went to attack the city.

Notably, the attacking city of Lumeno was left unguarded, and knowingly sacrificed by its governor SipForge. Moyye aptly capitalized on this abandonment by going to Lumeno and looting the city, even cratering SipForge's house. At this news, lubw and a band of other Tortugans came to Lumeno to defend it from Moyye, but by that time he had returned to Pillars.

According to the defenders, they slaughtered countless waves of attackers, but abandoned Pillars after killing 33 and lost none. Regardless, the city was looted after Coalition reinforcements showed up, and left to celebrate a victory over Bardonia.
