The First Siege of Sempiternal was a battle in the NATO-Mir war, fought by players from [[Columbia]], [[Hallow]], [[Rhodesia]], the [[Holy Jaded Empire]], and [[Valyria]], against [[Mir]]. It took place on the 17th of February, 2019, between the hours of 4am and 1pm EST at Columbia's vault, which is named "Sempiternal," and has four rings total.
The siege is considered by [[NATO]] to be one of the first significant attempts at an assault by the Mirian forces, as previous engagements have been fought over lesser bunkers.
Two players were pearled during the siege: Doommad, the leader of Valyria, and Godclick, a VPN alt
== Defense of the Vault ==
At 6:34am EST shadedoom (Columbia) pinged everyone in the NATO discord, alerting the alliance that Mir had skybridged partway into the vault. The sky bridge had breached three rings, and had reached a distance of eight blocks from the sky bunker. It is estimated that Mir had successfully broken roughly ten bastions before shadedoom noticed and alerted the alliance. This relative success early on is due to the fact that, at the time of the attack, the Northern portion of Sempiternal's snitch curtain was incomplete, allowing Mir Team 6 to sneak by undetected from that direction.
A major aspect of the defense of Sempiternal was that, at the time, it was largely a work in progress, and lacked many features planned for later implementation. Additionally, the vault was not fully stocked with all of the potion materials and such needed for its defense, and this issue was further exacerbated by the poor initial reaction of shadedoom to destroy some materials in the sky bunker, not seeing the initial defensive response he had hoped for upon alerting NATO.

Some time later, a team of Hallow fighters advanced against the skybridge towards the Mirian attack bunker to the North, attempting to disable it and end the siege. As the operation was under way, Doommad, who was attempting to arc arrows from the trapdoor at the top of the sky bunker, had stuck himself a little too far out, and was shot off the top and pearled as a result of fall damage and being combat tagged. When Mir escorted his pearl back to their attack bunker, the operation from Hallow was discovered, and
Mir soon returned to the front of the sky bridge, where they were met with a secondary barrage from the debuff cannons. The sky bridge managed to get within four blocks of the Sempiternal Sky Bunker before the advance became too difficult for Mir Team 6, under constant fire from archers and debuff cannons, and now in range of NATO defenders breaking blocks on the front of the bridge. They broke it off, abandoning their attack positions and kiting the pearled defenders back to the Mir Vault.
Line 58:
NATO defenders were quick to seize the opportunity by breaking deep into the Mirian sky bridge and attack bunker, greatly disabling and destroying both. Around the ninth hour of the attack, Mir completely withdrew to other bunkers and to Mir Proper, ending the siege.
