The Citadel of [[Nimrock]], built from 109 to 114 SC, was considered by many
to be impregnable. Its location on a small peninsula jutting into the
[[Kirulean Sea]] provided an ideal defensive position - and indeed, its site was
selected for that very reason. For Nimrock was built at the beginning of
the Davite [[Consolidation Timeline|Consolidation]], by the fledgling Kingdom of [[Vavard]], with the
knowledge that at some time [[Dav]]'s army would be at its gates.

At any rate, Dav was too wily for a direct assault on the city, and instead
forced the denizens to attempt a sortie, and smashed them between its gates
and his army.

After taking the city, and slaughtering the Merchant Princes who refused to
bow, Dav installed a council of the remaining [[Merchants Guild|Merchant Princes]] after each
declared personal fealty to Dav himself. The monies of Vavard are said, by
those more critical of his holy reign, to have contributed largely to Dav's
miraculous successes. Until the installation of Duke Sivernus dul Acris and
the creation of the Duchy, Vavard had historically maintained both the
council of merchants and a yearly tribute to the [[Lithmorran]] Crown.
