from https://forum.salemthegame.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4059&p=46826#p46826, trial by fire are 1000x1000 tiles big. I daresay that this means that most islands are siegable. Theoretically, some island could be unsiegable but that'd be one heck of a lake.

Trials by fire are pretty huge.

What happens when a trial by fire has several towns within its' radius? Are they all under attack? lol

According to what I've read, the radius of a trial is not a circle, but a cone in front of it.

it is not a cone, but a rectangle in front of it. It extends 500 tiles to its left and right, and 1000 tiles to its front.

all island towns i have seen are siegeable including candy island, the benefit to controlling an island during a siege is simply that it is easier to control the entire island during a siege and repair any damage instead of having a bunch of zerger ***** stand 2 feet off the claim while the other half of them cooldown their debuffs.

can not do that on an island that has been claimed over because as soon as the first damage is done braziers will trigger on trespass for the next hour or two, so anyone trying to "guard" damage that they have done will either be eating brazier fire or sitting in a boat to far away to matter.

OK. Thanks for the information. It's good to be educated about these things instead of believing random **** and getting butthurt over not having an "impenetrable island".

Yes 1,000 tiles is much longer than most people think.
