Opening summary, to include significance, construction, project leader, building placement, and building layout

In January 2022, in the aftermath of the battle to liberate the sieged Caledonians during the Tear in the Tapestry, a catapult was smuggled back to Salsola in secret by Kamari Kaiser with the help of Tattersall Valentine, Morrow Larue, and Mirko Morandi. This large siege weapon now sits outside the War Room.

Though the War Room is often associated with the Shield and the Kingdom’s fighter-types, it currently houses many of the Kingdom’s spoils, from wars to skirmishes and smaller conflicts, to great or rare hunts, to other notable moments within the Kingdom’s history. Trophies must have a significant meaning to the Kingdom, not just a single individual. For example, the sword of the leader of a group that harassed Salsola as a whole would be acceptable; the sword of a single, random, trespassing Loner would not be.

  • Obtained in secret by Kamari Kaiser during the liberation of the Caledonians during the Tear in the Tapestry
  • Crafted primarily of wood, this siege weapon is a marvel to see and behold. It is heavy, and, while it can be rotated or moved short distances by multiple, strong Luperci due in part to its wheels, moving this weapon any great distance requires the work of either strong, labor and pull-trained draft horses or mules. It has a few metal components, and is cranked via applying tension to a thick, sturdy rope. It has a sling that can toss sizeable boulders (no larger than 300lbs or 136kg) or whatever else the operator deigns to send hurdling towards their enemies so long as it is properly packaged for the forces caused by the catapult's throw.
  • Additional notes:
    • The obtainment and possession of this weapon is a Secret that should not be shared with Outsiders
    • Due to the dangers of operating this weapon, Salsolans are not permitted to use the catapult or fire it without a member of the Shield present.
