Elledan rode at the head of the armies of the Eagle and Jaguar as they winded through the roads of northern Valenwood. They followed the southern bank of the Strid river eastwards until they crossed a ford and marched into the West Weald, where they camped for a day.

The next day Elledan sent the army of the Jaguar towards Bravil, crossing the bridge of Alessia, and heading northwards towards Cheydinhal. It had been the first time since the Great war that an Elven army had been within a few miles of the Imperial city.

Meanwhile, Elledan marched north with the army of the Eagle towards Chorrol. As they crossed the Gold road they were met by the Count of Skingrad, Janus Hassildor, who was accompanied by 1'000 of his own men. Count Janus rode alongside Battlereeve Elledan. They discussed tactics and agreed to inform the officials in the Imperial city that they were heading for Chorrol. Elledan also sent for the commander of the Dunmeri forces that were encamped near Chorrol, and the Count himself who was greatly relieved by the sight of the Elven army that was waiting about two miles south of the town, as much as he dispised those in it. He noticed that Khajit and Bosmeri scouts were scouting out the outside of the city. If the Aureans came within 3 miles of the city the Dominion's soldiers would know.

In Cheydinhal Count Andel had a cordial meeting with King Mithrandas and Ra'zhirr. Count Andel stressed that the Count of Chorrol was weak willed and cowardly, and that that combined with his favour of a treaty with the Aureans could be disasterous. Count Andel hoped that the presence of the Elven army would disuade Count Chorrol from doing anything stupid.
