Editing Town Sieges (section)

==Where and When Will a Town Siege Occur?   &   Which Cabalists Will Be Present?==
The occurrence of a town siege depends on 2 things:
* The presence of [[Devotionals]] in the town - if a town contains 1 or more Devotionals, then the town is susceptible to a siege. If a town has no devotionals, it will never be under siege.
* The position of the [[Cabalist Moons]] in relation to the [[Constellations]] in the sky.

When a [[Cabalist Moons|Cabalist Moon]] is within a specific constellation's region, the [[Obsidian Cabalists|Obsidian Cabalist]] represented by that moon will lead a siege on towns that contain the [[Devotionals|Devotional]] related to the constellation. The siege will last as long as the moon is in the region of the constellation. 

To determine which [[Patron City|Patron Cities]] are under siege and which cabalists are in the siege, you can use any of the following methods:
* Equip an [[Astrolabe]], use a list of the [[Cabalist Moons]], and a list of the [[Patron City|Symbols/Constellations For Each Patron City]] (for details on how to use the astrolabe, see [[Astrolabe#How_to_Use_An_Astrolabe_to_to_Track_Sieges_and_Cabalists|How to Use An Astrolabe]]).
* Use a [[Moondial]], a list of the [[Cabalist Moons]], and a list of the [[Patron City|Symbols/Constellations For Each Patron City]] (for details on how to use the moondial, see [[Moondial#How_to_Use_A_Moondial|How to Use a Moondial]]).
* Use a player-made tools, such as [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/companion-of-the-avatar.63828/ Companion of The Avatar].

The cabalist(s) spawn after you have deactivated the 3 catapults (see "Lifting the Siege" below).

If Cabalist Moons are no longer in the area of a relevant constellation (i.e. they moved to an irrelevant constellation while you where trying to deactivate the catapults), then a Lich Mage will spawn rather than cabalists.
