Description

Castle of Dlod "Varnmayer", Münzen-Hidrallic war (3240), Siege of Dlod.

The city of Dlod, founded at the 2959 a.a.H, would be the for long the capitol of the Sueccian colonial administration of the Stornkold Archipelago, and capital of the Republic of Münzen from the independence at the 3183 to the 3230, when a Coup d'etat against the socialist president Mark Vadders will instaurate in power a Military Junta under General Jorge Münzen, who moved the capital.

Principal port of the Stornkold Archipelago, the Sueccians will built fourteen castles to protect the city: four to protect the bay, and ten around the city, forming a fortified ring, built with the last fortification knowledge.

With it's fame of impregnable, it will stop by it's mere presence Nutk raids in the region, and neither other Aelian powers in their wars against Sueccia attacked the "fortress of the north", being more effective to do naval blockades to cut out the colony out of it's metropolis.

By the Stornkold Independence War (3179-3183), the fortification will fall from within, as the garrisons of the castles and city of Dlod mutinied against the colonial authority, imprisoning their sueccian officers: the following years of the civil war, it will see intermitent and failed attempts of the Sueccians to siege and conquer the fortified city: during it, the rebels will do extensive works in the fortifications, but of a temporary quality, compossed of trenches, earthen ramparts and barbed wires.

As capital of the new Republic of Münzen, they will conduct limited but necesary modernizations of the old fortification system.

Once more time, in the Münzen-Sueccian War of the 3211, the Sueccian attemps to recover their lost colony will fail again against the walls of Dlod, which led the Münzen to once again bolster the Dlodian fortifications in the aftermath, in the period of the 3211-3219 a.a.H: However, in the next two decades, the economic situation and budget shortages, no further plans of modernization or maintenance of the forts was done.

By the coup d'etat against Mark Vadders in the 3230, there was only some marginal skirmishes in the coastal forts between golpist forces of the army and police against industrial port workers and sailors supporting Mark Vadders.

The Münzen-Felcheland War of the 3235 will lead to a modernization, expansion and maintenance of the fortifications of Dlod, thought it wouldn't see action during the war, as the Felchelanders and Nutks decided to avoid the heavily fortified area.

Between the 3235-3240, there was an extensive plan of modernization of the fortifications, which expanded well beyond the original sueccian colonial castles, but keeping them active as parts of the defense:

By the Münzen-Hidraullic War of the 3240, as the rest of the country fell to enemy forces, the garrison will resist in the Siege of Dlod against large enemy forces, up to the truce:

it will remain as a Free Münzen enclave, surrounded by Calintropian occupation forces, with a permanent danger of combat and frecuent skirmishes for 7 years.

This was the greatest test to Dlod, as despise the modernizations, the fixed defenses it had where becoming more and more obsolete, being fortunate of the limited use of air force used by the Calintropians and the only occasional sorties of the Ruhenian Royal Air Force.

However, a last time the Münzen will use the aging forts of Dlod and the every time, in the Münzen-Anuchian war of the 3290: by then, the inner fortifications where obsolete, but as the Münzen forces collapsed in every front, large ammounts of the remnants of the retreating armies retreated to Münzen: the legend of the impregnability of the fortress bolstering their moral, where they will be able to win a bloody defensive victory, but that ended with much of the city in ruins.

In the Münze civil war (3291-3293), there will be again combats in the streets and old ruined forts of Dlod between the warrying factions.
