''Main page: [[The Long Siege]]''
Mosk-Sopoh planned to surprise Troun and then on his way back 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.
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.
It turned out that just several weeks ago, Nadd saw the arrival of [[Mran Gantorn]], a [[Gantolia|gantolian]] [[superhero warrior]]. Gantorn's power was a subconscious creation of a vast defensive field that would create a barrier, passable only by slow moving objects. The effectiveness of the field could be further increased by Gantorn's conscious effort, as well as his perception of his surroundings.
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 protected the south-western border of the city.
Realizing that a superhero warrior might be involved, Mosk-Sopoh set up siege. An active phase of the siege lasted until winter of 1856, after which the majority of active forces were moved east in order to deal with the increasing Oaleed threat.
Nadd ended up holding Mran Gantorn captive and thus ensuring that no enemy troops could enter the city up until Gantorn's death in 1901. The Long Siege, thus, lasted for 45 years.
