Sack of Vengerberg

During the Invasion of the Dol Angra within the Second Northern War, after the capitulation of Rivia, the army of Lyria commanded by Queen Meve and the army of Aedirn commanded by King Demavend III decided to face the Nilfgaardian troops commanded by Menno Coehoorn, Elan Trahe and Markus Braibant: the battle ended with a drastic defeat for Meve and Demavend's troops who were forced to retrea, leaving the city of Vengerberg, the capital of the Kingdom of Aedirn, without defense.

After being besieged for a week, Vengerberg was conquered by the Nilfgaardians, who slaughtered almost 6000 people between population and guards. The ones who were able to survive the siege tried to escape towards the border with the Kingdom of Temeria, helped by the reinforcements of the Aedirnian Special Forces commanded by Rayla. The Nilfgaardian troops, using Scoia'tael as vanguard, started chasing the fugitives in order to make slaves, the cheapest work force in Nilfgaard. Thanks to Rayla and his troops, few citizens of Vengerberg managed to escape, although most of the unit was killed by Scoia'tael during the evacuation.
