Background
The Siege of Antioch occured at 10PM, September 30th, 2017 following a rapid deterioration in relations between Antioch and the Kingdom of Cadogen. The majority of the information regarding the information about this siege comes from chronicles made by bcfoss following the siege, during the lifespan of the Cadogen Server.
Cadogen Fire
While joestanly04 was visiting Cadogen, bcfoss set fire to nobel617’s home, oddly enough the blame of this action was shifted onto joestanly04. This united the warring parties within Cadogen to fight united against a foreign enemy; Antioch. joestanly04 was demanded to become a vassal of Cadogen, to which in trying to avoid war he agrees to.
Steel Demand
joestanly04 was the only person in the server who could efficiently make large quantities of steel, necessary for various military and missile-based applications. As a vassal it was expected of him by the greater authority in Cadogen to cough up hearty sums of the metal, which was being used to advance Cadogen's missile launch infrastructure. Antioch was a vassal in name, but danced around the subject of lending steel to the mainland, instead offering to help them use NEI to learn how to make more of it for themselves. This avoidance of the issue was not appreciated by Cadogen and tensions began to increase via the exchange of veiled threats and the percieved impertinance of joestanly04 to his liege lords in Cadogen.

Consequences of the Siege
Following the victory of Cadogen, its forces quickly fractured, with nobel617 parting ways, eventually founding Japin. bcfoss would remain in Cadogen, rendering it an isolationist, rather inhospitable place.
