Seige of Santora

The Seige of Santora is a large attack and defense sytle seige, based in the city fortress of Santora. The objective of the attacking team is to burn down the sacred tree in the holy grove at the top of the city and claim the reward inside, while the job of the defensive team is to eliminate the lives of the attackers before they can claim the item encased in the tree.

History
Santora was constructed by the 'Outlaws' as an outpost for passing merchants, as a place of rest but also as a watch tower to prevent armies from passing into the Kingdom of the Five Thanes unannounced. As time passed its importance grew, as did its size, becoming more and more like a city, even gaining some religous importance. To mark the growth of the outpost into a fledling city of the Thanes, a divine seed was planted at the very top of the city to grow into a glorious tree.



Santora's geographical location in relevance to the Outlaws makes it a desirable spot for the other factions to gain a foothold in the Outlaw's lands and turn their own city against them, but being a titantic construction of defensive walls, tiers and barricades, the city would not fall easily.

In-Game
The attackers must traverse seven tiers of housing and buildings, in addition to winding through the interior halls of the mountain city in order to gain access to the very top to burn or cut down the tree trunk to capture the relic inside. The defensive team takes to the walls and vantage points to decimate the enemy while they attempt to gain entry into the city. The attackers are gifted with battlefield trenches, and gain entry to the city via a breach in its sewers. The battleground ends when the relic is captured or the attacking team's lives are eliminated.

Trivia

 * The tree at the top of the City was inspired by the "Tamarisk Tree" in egyptian mythology.
