The '''Battle of [[Cheun|Ayermer]]''', also known as the '''Siege of Ayermer''' took place in the [[Alshar]] theater of the [[Second Great War]]. Long a point of contention between the two empires and a dangerous impediment to [[Corumm]]ese naval forces in the area, the island was captured after four months of heavy fighting both in land and in the surrounding waters. The surprise assault on the island marked Corummese entry into the war, after a secret protocol was signed with [[Caphiria]] in which the [[Corumm|Qian]] agreed to open another front to draw Burgundie's resources thin. The loss of Ayermer and its garrison was a heavy blow to [[Burgundie]]'s armed forces and its capture allowed the [[Harmonious Flotilla Invincible]] to move into the western [[Pukhtun Sea|Taizi Sea]] and threaten Burgundie's colonies.
