Siege of Two Tigers

This was one of the most iconic conflicts in the empire's current history and the grand finale to the previous battle for the throne among the princes. The Siege of Two Tigers was a grand and bloody battle where the previous emperor sieged the manor of his brother who barricated himself there after claiming that he is the one that should inherit the throne based on the copy of the will that only he himself has in his possession. As he refused to come out for more than a month, eventually his residence was leveled to the ground, all belonging turned to rubble and "miraculously" a copy of the late emperor's will was found somewhere else, actually contradicting the prince's claims. Who would have guessed.   This conflict is not only famous for its victor but also for the ingenious use of fireworks, as both of the princes were somewhat of tinkerers and knew a great deal about how fire and gunpowder could be used to advance one's military goals. They both also received the best education available over the years as they were both expected to become great general and serve the empire with their very lives.   A little more than ashes are now left out of the princes manor and more than seven unique weapons and three siege tactics were first exhibited during their final conflict. The most famous weapon is a hand cannon with three different barrels made out of iron or crude steel that can have different apertures attached behind it such as a spearhead. Since the iconic siege this weapon was also sometimes used in lieu of a polearm for the cavalry. Quite a terrifying sight to behold. Exploding or not. Just make sure you stand on the correct side of the conflict. Preferable miles and miles away.
