Battle of the Pillars of the Sun

The Battle of the Pillars of the 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 the Sun, home to the famous Pog Bar, as a diversion to draw members of The Chancellor's Hands away from the "main" battle at New Dorasterrock.

Combat leaders Eric2772 and Luke6556 organized twenty-nine Coalition fighters and raided the town in an attempt to distract The Hands. This diversion was intended to allow the attack on New Dorasterrock to go smoothly for the other members of the Coalition and keep The Hands busy; The Hands, meanwhile, were mostly indifferent to the war, with members from Allium choosing to fight and the rest staying home. Still, the players Moyye, Dex_Og, Dotto21, Yaykei, Ezexus, and ThunderfanTV would help defend Pillars of the 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 Cheli_ enter the city with invisibility potions and TNT. The TNT was placed to instill terror among The Hands. 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. The Tortugans quickly went to Pillars of Sun where they defeated Moyye, and allegedly drove off the remaining defenders.

According to the defenders, they slaughtered countless waves of attackers, but abandoned Pillars after killing 33 and lost none. However the attackers' claim to have defeated Moyye contradicts this. Regardless, the city was looted after Coalition reinforcements showed up, and left to celebrate a Coalition victory.
