=== Sacking of Hallow City ===
Mirian forces moved to attack Hallow City on 15th March. Without the proximity of the vault it was considered to be an easy target that Hallow troops would be unable to defend without considerable risk. Tunnels were dug to avoid snitches and bastions protecting the city were broken without incident. Then the Mirian forces descended to bedrock and began disabling the defensive infrastructer.
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 DSclouse, 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 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.
