Athel Maraya
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Athel Maraya was a High Elf trading city in what is now called the Old World. [1a]
Siege
During the War of Vengeance, the city was besieged by a vast host from the Dwarf holds of Karak Azul, Karak Eight Peaks, Karak Kadrin, Karaz-a-Karak and Karak Varn. The Dwarfs offered the garrison free passage before the siege began but this was refused and so no further quarter was given. [1a]
Spoils
The orchards were cut down and burned, the fields salted, the stones of the city taken to be made into gravel and statues smashed and the pieces used for the privy tanks of Breweries. The great gates keystone was taken to be made into a oathstone for the Dwarf King Grundin. Much gold and gems was found and taken back to the holds. [1a]
