Siege of Norstaff

The Siege of Norstaff (June-October SA 312) comprised the principle engagement of the Aranieul Valley War between the Halmarian Berskins and the Second Geatan Kingdom. The Siege began in June of SA 312 when the Berskins, who had invaded the Geatan-held lower valley a month earlier, placed the city under siege. Norstaff, a major trade city on the mouth of the Aranieul, served as the de facto capital of the Geatan Kingdom and it's fall in October after heavy fighting signaled the destruction of their Kingdom.

Background
The power balance in Northern Westreach, always unstable, shifted in SA 310 with the elevation of King Harris Halmar I of the Berskins to the title of Councillor.
