Ah, the Siege of Rhalor—tale of stone and sweat. They say the defenders built a double wall and used fire‑carts, but the chronicles also whisper of a hidden tunnel that let the attackers slip in like ghosts. In truth, I think most of it is a blend of fact and legend; the cleverness of the walls is clear, but whether the tunnels were a trick of the wind or a cunning stratagem remains one of those dusty mysteries I love to chase.
