 Siggard won't find his peace through vengeance. It only bores hatred. And hatred never bring peace. Siggard will find true peace only when he has made an act of love. And that may take him centuries before finding it. Tyrael gave him the option to seek that act of love that could bring him peace, or wander Sanctuary for centuries helping the Angels and Heaven in their fight against Hell. Siggard has quite a gift -- Tyrael said. The Primal Evils seek a way to have a hold on the mortal plane. Siggard would be the perfect soldier against them if he helped the forces of the Light.
-Siggard had a big deal to think about. Tyrael started fading with the dawn, and his las words were that Siggard had all the time of the world to consider it. "May the light go with you, my friend."

 The destruction of Baron Assur in Brennon happened on year 302.  It  was one of the most significant victories in the early days of the [[Sin War]].  Earl Tilgar reclaimed Brennor from any surviving demons. Siggard served Earl Tilgar to help rebuild Brennor for many years. The land was free of demonic forces for at least two hundred years. Earl Tilgar founded the dynasty that would rule Entsteig until the capture and binding of the [[Prime Evils]], six hundred years later.

 If the demons established a foothold on Sanctuary, they could assault the very gates of Heaven from Sanctuary, while  the forces of light couldn't in turn besiege the demons for their inability to appear and enter Sanctuary. This is why Assur has been sent.  He will be victorious.
-They fought the demons all day until late night.  The demons stopped attacking. They had killed the first wave. The army of Brennon rested, and prepared in anticipation.  The second wave hit them and goatment started climbing the tall walls with ladders. The army of Brennon was able to hold them. Suddenly, Assur appeared and demanded them to surrender. He would slay only half of them if they surrendered, and allow the other half to serve him.  Earl Tilgar yelled back refusing to surrender. Better to die in battle than to serve him in life.  Siggard came to the realization that this was the same strategy played at Blackmarch. The arrival of Assur signaled the attack of the Hiddens. They had most likely infiltrated the fortress after the first wave ended, while they were resting and distracted to notice.

 Siggard asked Earl Tilgar to evacuate the city. He commanded the order to evacuate and asked Siggard to come with him to the underground tunnels. The remaining city guards knew what to do. They would stay behind sacrificing to allow the city to evacuate. The King's men decided to stay behind to buy time for the evacuation.
