The Bombardment of Blore Heath was an action undertaken by the incident prone Musican Fleet against the Haifan port and settlement of Blore Heath during the course of its transoceanic odyssey from Musica to the relief of Talenore from a blockade sustained by the New Zimian War League.

The primary target of the attack was the city's commercial district, home of a crucial east Keltian brokerage which ironically included shuttered warehouses belonging to the Keltian subsidiary of Shireroth's ESB Group. Although primarily motivated by the prospect of plundering the shoreline and waterways around Blore Heath under the cover of the bombardment, the attack also served in part as a reprisal for the role played by the Jogi Regiment in raids on the Natopian settlements of Elijah's Rest.

In response the the bombardment of Blore Heath's commercial district, the Port of Blore Heath marketplace was temporarily relocated, through an agreement between the leaders of the various Haifan merchant caravans, to the Port of Mylecia. In Mylecia, the merchants who generally sold their goods in Blore Heath continued to sell their goods in relative peace, far from the impact of the Shirerithian navy. The government of the Maritime Markets, furthermore, increased its investments in the Port of Vaeringheim during this period, so as to offset the cost of damage to the Port of Blore Heath.
