Siege of Mechanicsburg

The Siege of Mechanicsburg was an event that unfolded from Volume VII to Volume XIII of the Girl Genius story. It marked the beginning of the end of the Wulfenbach Empire, drawing in against it Castle Heterodyne, The Storm King conspiracy, and a smorgasboard of lesser enemies and rebels. The tide of the siege turned against the Empire when Castle Heterodyne became fully operational. Baron Klaus Wulfenbach responded by withdrawing his troops then personally activating the Take-Five Bomb, freezing the city and all its residents in time for what is suspected to be a period of 5 years.
