Siege Engine

A Siege Engine

The use of siege engines in warfare was generally limited among clans outside the Crab. Even the brilliant leaders of the mighty Lion armies considered them time-consuming to construct, difficult to transport, and of limited effectiveness in battle. They saw use in almost any large-scale conflict, to be sure, but they were still regarded as specialized implements of war. The Kaiu regarded them much differently. To the Crab, they were tools that daily preserved the lives of soldiers upon the Kaiu Wall, and that destroyed creatures that would otherwise be immune to harm. Siege devices were a common sight along the Great Carpenter Wall. [1]
