Sack of Baz

First Appearance and Context

Within the Hylaean Way at the Concent of Saunt Edhar, a sequence of gallery scenes culminates in frescoes depicting the Sack of Baz together with the burning of the city’s library. In lexicon citations, The Dictionary treats “the Fall of Baz” as a historical touchstone when explaining usage shifts in terms such as “Extramuros.”

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• The event denotes a violent assault on Baz in which the city was sacked and its library burned.
• In the Hylaean Way’s historical sequence, the Sack follows depictions of Baz’s imperial achievements (temples, capitol, walls, roads, armies, and its library) and the later prominence of the Ark of Baz in advising rulers. The gallery places the Sack and the library’s destruction as the end point of that arc.
• The text available so far does not identify the attackers, causes, or a timeline beyond the fact that it is treated as a completed historical event.

Relationships

• Terminology: Also known as the Fall of Baz in sources such as The Dictionary.
• Distinct from the concent’s historical sackings collectively known as The Three Sacks.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Artistic depictions emphasize the burning of the library and scenes of Imperial Bazian galley combat in the surrounding sequence.
• The event functions as a widely recognized marker of transition in historical narratives and exhibits.

Current Status/Location

A past, consequential event in the world’s history. It serves as a reference point in institutional memory and scholarship; further specifics (participants, dates, outcomes beyond the burning of the library) have not been detailed in the material available so far.
