Siege of Doma

Template:Sideicon Template:Battle The Siege of Doma is part of the Gestahlian Empire's campaign of world conquest, and a response to Doma's support for the Returners. The outcome, which sees the almost complete extermination of Doma's inhabitants, marks the height of the Gestahlian Empire's power.

Battle

In desperation, Cyan Garamonde suggests attacking the enemy's commander in hopes of relieving pressure from the siege. Cyan alone engages the enemy and kills them in battle and the Imperial forces retreat. Cyan returns inside to help plan the next defense.

In the Imperial Camp, Sabin and Shadow infiltrate the enemy stronghold. Inflicting minor casualties on the Empire's forces, they eavesdrop on the Imperials' plans. After being summoned by Emperor Gestahl, General Leo departs for the Imperial Capital and relinquishes the command to Kefka, urging him not to act inhumanely. Kefka ignores Leo's request and orders the poisoning of the river surrounding the castle to force an easy victory. Shadow and Sabin confront Kefka but it isn't enough to stop him. Shortly before dumping the poison, Kefka, cackling to himself, muses that there is nothing better than "music composed of hundreds of voices screaming in unison". The poison kills most of the population of Doma Castle, including Cyan's wife and child, and of many Imperial soldiers detained as prisoners.

Aftermath

In rage for his family's death, Cyan attacks the Imperial Camp. He meets Sabin and Shadow, who assist him in escaping via commandeering three Magitek Armors and make their way south of Doma into the Phantom Forest. At the time, Kefka's poisoning of Doma was the most horrific war crime he'd yet committed.

Later, during the Empire's formal surrender, if the party asks the right questions when addressing the Emperor he will agree to retreat the Imperial troops from Doma Castle. The Emperor also states he has assigned troops to clean the poison from the area.
