Zhu Bolin's fleet descended on the fortress of [[Dun-Kurrengev]] in southern [[Sarolasta]] during August 1664 and, investing the fortress from land and sea for over a year and sending raiding parties to sack coastal villages and distract relief efforts. Despite intense bombardment from the fleet and the cannons on land, the defenders repelled all attacks. Beset by disease and mounting casualties and with news of a large Kiravian relief fleet on the way, the Daxians mounted a last ditch attempt to storm the fortress. Finally cracking open a breach in the curtain walls, the Daxians poured in and a three day battle for the breach ensued in which the assault was finally repulsed with grievous losses on both sides. | Zhu Bolin's fleet descended on the fortress of [[Siege of Dun-Kurrengev|Dun-Kurrengev]] in southern [[Sarolasta]] during August 1664 and, investing the fortress from land and sea for over a year and sending raiding parties to sack coastal villages and distract relief efforts.

Following the lifting of the siege a low intensity conflict would follow consisting mostly of raids on trade convoys of both sides, scattered and indecisive naval skirmishes south and west of [[Sarolasta]] against the fleet of Alcibiades Verramar and a daring surprise attack on [[Zhijun]] by a small [[Kiravia]]n squadron. With mounting costs for the Qian due to the interruption of trade and Kiravian need to reposition Verramar's fleet to more vital theaters, a treaty of ''eternal peace'' was signed in 1670 when the Qian accepted they would not be able to capture [[Sarolasta]] any time soon. The treaty also included a provision for the establishment of permanent embassies, the Kiravians sent the dwarf Tomtor Maneski as their high representative as a nod to the Qian appreciation of size challenged people. | Following the lifting of the siege a low intensity conflict would follow consisting mostly of raids on trade convoys of both sides, scattered and indecisive naval skirmishes south and west of [[Sarolasta]] against the fleet of Alcibiades Verramar and a daring surprise attack on [[Zhijun]] by a small [[Kiravia]]n squadron.
