#siege engineering

'Designed by Lord Bal himself, these Mortuum Mortars are our perfect engines of malice. By powdering vitrified souls, we can use it as a catalyst to launch devastating cold-iron shells into the air at a trajectory no current trebuchet can achieve. Marvelous.'

-- Anchorite Natalia, marveling the dark engines of death being carried by Worm Thralls into position.

'The whistling of the Mortuum shells are not unlike the screams of its victims. Most pleasing.'

-- Anchorite Natalia, admiring the shrieking sound that the Mortuum shells make as the descend from on high

Shoutout to @we-are-scribe for connecting me with this one. Really enjoy this one because it properly assesses things in terms of objectives - both in attack and holding out, and in clarifying that most sieges were not actually won by force. I also appreciate the constant engineering struggle of cost-effectiveness, we are never truly free from it.
