			==History==
			Siege weapons were used against Elanthian forces when the [[Gorbesh]] ships entered harbors and began a catapult barrage. Once the [[Crossing]]s fell the devices were brought into the city to propel the dead over the walls. When the Zoluren militias were formed they were alloted four types of siege weapons to be strategically placed in defensive positions about the province.

			Although no working examples exist, the doors to [[Chyolvea Tayeu'a]] mention cannons:<br />

			Each door is a huge, undivided, flawless slab of black almhara stone. Merely a foot thick, the stone is nevertheless strong enough to withstand the fiercest attacks by magic or '''cannon'''. The silver of the symbol gleams as if it were polished daily.

			The 4 types are:<br />
			Scorpion- A robust crossbow type weapon mounted to a swivel on a wheeled platform.<br />
			Ballista- A massive crossbow type weapon mounted on a wheeled platform.<br />
