====Vandalism by Yonderians====
During and after the [[Great Confessional War]], mercenaries from [[Yonderre]] traveling through the divided Ænglish duchies to other parts of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] would readily destroy or otherwise vandalize portions of the wall, greatly accelerating the natural decline of the structure of the preceding century. Many mercenaries returning home would also take bricks of the weorc as a souvenir where they would be carved into other objects once reaching [[Yonderre]], ranging from prized bowls and goblets to toys and other stone trinkets. The Weorcbrick Musèe in [[Collinebourg]] retains a large number of artifacts from this period related to this practice.

[[Burgoignesc language]] graffiti stemming from the [[Great Confessional War]] are still visible, having been etched into the brickwork of the Anglasweorc. These graffitis range from simply names and greetings to rude slurs and depictions of penises.
