Territorial Claim [Aetius vs Altharim]

[Galion]

On foot, bands of fighting men and women set out from boundaries of Aetius. The crossing to reach the base of the peninsula is brief, where tents rise like stalagmites from the earth. A force unyielding and patient, as the task of Aetius has refined this fighting force to be. Altharim, a long standing stretch of black and gold, homes raised in the name of cause of freedom now bare once more challenge and grave danger to their livelihoods.

In this movement, no letter nor missive need be read aloud, for the message is plain as day.
Regardless, and in the name of courtesy in warfare, a missive reaches the settlement- conveyed aloud by couriers:

"By decree of acting Field Commander, Nymeris, Archmagos of Guardianship and to the King of Altharim:

Your settlement, once-before a mere neighbor, is now observed as a dangerous blockade between Aetius and the mainland. A thread now know through magnification by the attempted occupation of mercenaries- and the extraordinarily risky action taken to deal with it. As this settlement, for years now, has acted as a blockade between us and the mainland, we have decided upon our swift and abrupt ultimatum. Today, you're not a threat, however, tomorrow may angle the sword you bear toward us- and you are ever in striking distance.

This course of action has been weighted and agreed upon by two other Archmagos.

Thus, allow these words to be your only notice with utmost clarity:
You're under siege."

Objective:
Siege & Conquer the Settlement of Altharim. 
(This course will forcibly NPC the settlement and claim the area for Aetius.)
