In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Tynemont was attacked by soldiers from another nation, waging a greater campaign. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Tynemont lost 101 people, 243 livestock, and 24 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 90, when members of Tynemont 's militia enacted an operation to train a group of civilians for a special clandestine operation. The operation was complicated by aggravated civilians, who cause problems for the militia for a host of reasons. The conflict ended with the defense of the temple against a siege, which ended in a crushing defeat for Tynemont 's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Tynemont 's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
