(Sorry for the wait, I was busy with work.)

Harald's warband was close to the border. The soldiers rested at Shorstein from the long march from Vindhelm.

Scouts were sent to make sure the path ahead of them was clear of elven forces or traps laid for the humans.

Once the army was rested from the trip, the armies formed up and departed from Shorstein. Jarl Harald's part of the army took the vanguard, while Jarl Ivar took the right flank. Others took the left flank, among them Hjörvard Sea-King.

They marched through the autumn forest on their way to the elven fortress across the border.

Yslenor approached Karyor. "It appears that Gondorin will face battle first after all. We are counting on you, Karyor. The humans numbers are larger than expected." She said.

The fortress had long since been prepared according to Karyor's specifications concerning the side-effects of his Thu'um. The battlements of Gondorin were now covered with a wooden structure that covered the archers from the top and on the outer face of the wall, with only arrow slits having been left open.

Randagulf's warband began work almost immediately building several longboats. For their target was the elven fortress of Vetudar that secured Lake Honnith. It was located on the river Treva, that connected it with Lake Geir.

The Companions cut down the nearby birch trees to the tower fort of Nilheim and forming them into the hull of the boats that would take them to the elven fortress.

Jofrodr was among the ones helping to build the ships.

Skorm held the letter that Jarl Harald had given him. For the Jarl of Reftva, no other. Harald had told him before they departed from Vindhelm. He wondered what was in that letter that he was supposed to deliver to her at Nimalten.
