(@Red: Kvatch has soldiers elsewhere, they aren't going to sent their capital's forces to deal with a revolt when they have an enemy so close to their capital.  They aren't brain dead.  Hell since the revolt wouldn't be a religious/cultural revolt they can just use the Shardrock garrison to quell it. They don't even need to bring any extra soldiers, only their marshal.

There won't be a siege? Hahaha, that is funny. No, a city's defenses are far too strong to take in an assault. You try to assault a city and you are going to have a bad time. Even double their soldiers won't give you a sure victory. Not unless your men can walk through walls.

Are you going to try to climb the mountain? Which would take way longer and would mean you can't take siege weapons and horses up with you. If that were the case you would be f*cked with no way into the city. A city also isn't a shit fort that you can sneak into and open it up from the inside. They would have dozens of guards guarding the gate's controls. Sneaking in won't help with shit.)

~3rd of Midyear

There were few ways into the barracks. The second and third stories had bigger windows than the first, big enough for a skinny person to fit through. However the keep and barracks complex was a significant distance away from any other building. There was also the fact that because Ivarstead had 700 guards, the complex was always busy. The Bosmer also didn't know anything about the guard patrol patterns inside the building, as he had never been inside. Meaning that s neaking past all the guards presence there at any given time would be near impossible.

~15th of Last Seed

The archers tried to fight initially, but after nearly half their numbers were wiped out and they had only made a dent in the berserker forces, some began to route. Particularly those on the other side of the breach, who saw their comrades get torn up by the vicious warriors.

With the wall secure and the barricades broken, Lord Dathman gave the signal. He then rounded up the remaining Berserkers and went after Korst.

Commander Arnor and the cavalry rode into town through the breach and rode ahead to the keep.

The skirmish at the townsquare had become one of friction. Korst's men had the upperhand thanks to their numbers, but Kastav's guards were determined to fight for their country. And so the attackers weren't able to breach their shieldwall as easily as Korst had thought.
