April of 1856 [[FR]] saw a massive 12,000 army march from Gaskal. Contrary to the narrative, sold to Troun, Mosk-Sopoh went past Nadd and approached Troun without in the early hours of the day. The forces were positioned in a semi-circle and then attacked. Although Troun was a formidable fortress, the unpreparedness of its defenders coupled with the sheer amount of attackers that hit its south walls all at the same time created panic. Troun fell within several hours. In the ensuing days, Troun was ransacked, a lot of its population slaughtered and the rest enslaved. Mosk-Sopoh then ordered the city to be leveled.
Troun was never re-built and its destruction typically marks the subjugation of Laeooy Coast by the Dolysohs.
==== The beginning of the "Long Siege" ====
Mosk-Sopoh planned to surprise Troun and then on his way back to attack Nadd from this unlikely direction. However, when his army approached the city, none of the arrows or siege engine were able to reach the walls of the city: as if hitting an invisible wall, all projectiles just fell to the ground, stopped midway.
It turned out that just a week ago, Nadd saw the arrival of [[Mran Gantorn]], a [[Gantolia|gantolian]] [[superhero warrior]]. Gantorn's power was an almost subconscious creation of a vast defensive field that would create a barrier, passable only by slow moving objects. And the effectiveness of the field would depend on Gantorn's feeling of security.
At the time of the attack neither Gantorn nor even most of the naddians realized that the city was under siege, but as projectiles, hurled at the walls were moving very fast, and thanks to the fact that Gantorn was staying fairly close to the walls, his field just protected the south-western border of the city.
Mosk-Sopoh had to wait for 4 long years to be able to respond.
