The Siege of Kaagaat

  "aliases": [
    "The Last Clutch"
  ],
  "content": {
    "consequence": "The refusal to assault is the tactical fact underneath the political choice the parent entry already records. Storming Kaagaat would have killed the surviving Mulaagjuns, and Kaemisyol wanted the Paathur system intact and legitimate enough to govern through. A bastion taken by storm has no one left with the standing to surrender it.\n\nThe delegation went to Vusokaar in 1305. The Paathur system was preserved beneath the Dovahrein; imperial garrisons were admitted at key sites; the Mulaagjuns kept authority over Zegtuzsos villages.",
    "engagement": "Kaemisyol invested it in the winter of 1303 and did not assault it. Rings of fortified road were built around the mountain over the following two years - the same methodical technique used at Yuliz, applied to a target that could not be starved out quickly because it sat on its own water.\n\nThe defenders were not short of food when they surrendered. They were short of reasons.",
    "overview": "The last hold. Canon records the war\u0027s end as a delegation sent from a surrounded mountain bastion to Vusokaar under a white-scorched banner; Kaagaat is that bastion.\n\nIt was never stormed.",
    "two_names": "The Last Clutch is the Zegtuzsos name and is used without irony. The Empire has no distinctive name for it - it is simply Kaagaat, which in Saarotsos usage has come to mean an ending that everyone survived."
