'''The Sacking of Hallow''' was a series of events in the [[NATO-Mir War]] leading up to and including the disabling of Hallow City's bunker network, destruction of the Elder Guardians and removal of wealth from the city. Each event, with perhaps the exception of the final was too small or insignificant to have its own page but was nonetheless important to the overall direction of the war. Therefore they have all been grouped here and described in chronological order. As in the other battles of the war it was fought between [[Mir]] and various groups from the [[NATO]] alliance, mostly [[Hallow]], [[Columbia|Columbian]] and [[Valyria|Valyrian]] citizens. These events took place over the month immediately after the [[The Second Siege of Sempiternal|Second Siege of Sempiternal]].

Eventually Lysika proposed a rout which was successful. The Mirians potted up and rushed the Hallow forces who were taken by surprise. Whilst no one was pearled it revealed two facts. The first was that the Hallow trench was not vault bastioned, meaning it was essentially the superior pvp'ing forces playground. The second was that the vast majority of the Hallow forces were not pvp'ers and would run at the first sign of combat (it was always known they were not good, but it was expected that they would tank and fight a little). After several more rush attacks the Mirians were able to free Ez2Clutch and using their new found knowledge of the trench commenced snitching and casual fighting.
 
The Mirians reached the edge of the Hallow vault and a bow fight ensued. Surprisingly, despite not being pvp'ers, many of the defenders were exceptionally good with a bow completely halting the Mirian advance and largely putting an end to their brief fantasy of breaking the vault. However, Lysika maintained that the Mirians should stay a little longer as they were not losing anything and the players on Hallow's side were likely to make mistakes given their lack of experience. Indeed thisThis turned out to be true when Aimuari, a defender, fell into one of the vault ring traps and was unable to escape due to his excessive drunkenness and null pvp skills. This was spotted by Krallen, a Mirian, who ordered he be focus fired. To everyone's surprise Aimuari poppedquickly died<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Awf5N7bAA</ref>, giving Mir their third pearl in two days. At this point the Mirians left and took the pearl back to Mir.

The first targets were the four Elder Guardians positioned around a factory/pot bunker. The server admins had recently enabled the nerf to their fatigue effect - promised since the server opened, allowing the obsidian Guardian enclosures to be broken easily. The Guardians were killed and Mirian forces went about disabling the potion and factory bunkers. During this they stumbled across a strange shrine like construction beneath the city inside of which was a bedrock reinforced beacon and diamond block base. It later turned out to have been reinforced by DSclouseDsclouse, an admin. The beacon and base were removed by Maxopoly. Once the initial bunkers were disabled the area was scouted more thoroughly revealing a larger bunker complex to the south. This also contained a pot bunker, amongst other things, and was disabled. Notably this second bunker was bastioned at y3 and above but not bedrock and had signs in Hebrew. When the Mirians left for the night only Hantzu came online to inspect the damage - and only very briefly.
 
The next day Mirian forces resumed activities, continuing to break into chests within the bunker systems. After several hours two Hallow defenders came online, Brunotheminer and [[Daddo|Daddo69]]. They are notable for being two of Hallow's best and only pvp'ers. They milled around on the surface for perhaps an hour whilst Mirians ran around at bedrock, continuing their tasks. Finally Bruno and Daddo began digging a staircase down to bedrock. It is not clear what purpose this to serve as the Mirians outnumbered them 3 to 1 making any fight exceedingly risky for them. Upon seeing them descend on radar Lysika immediately had a minecart teleporter placed underneath where the Mirian's estimated the top of the stairs to be. All but two Mirians then retreated off radar. When Bruno hit a snitch at bedrock the signal was given and the Mirians potted up and rushed to engage. Bruno and Daddo immediately began retreating up the stairs - only to find the top blocked by Gregy165 and webs placed by RosieMcCann. A 2v1 fight broke out between Gregy and the Hallow fighters but reinforcements arrived very quickly and soon a 6v2 mess took place in the confined quarters of the stairwell. Bruno attempted to mine out but died quickly, Daddo lasted much longer but was, inevitably, pearled. Upon pearling the two defenders the Mirians retreated, taking the pearls back to Mir.
 
The next day the surface of Hallow City was explored by the Mirian troops. Very little of note happened, other than Prioma, a Hallow citizen, logging in and getting pearled.
