(Shalidor is considered the greatest mage in Skyrim, though not everyone knows that he's still alive.)

The presence of the human mages made things more difficult and allowed the humans to continue their march towards the fortress gates.

The vanguard was nearing the gatehouse now, about 100 ft. They were now within the range of Karyor's shout from his position on the battlements.

With them getting closer to the gates, Harald yelled for the Hawk Priests in his formation. "Tongues! With me!"

Jarl Ivar's flank took up position about 300 ft from the walls. He ordered the archers to move into position and begin firing at the battlements, to offer suppressing fire for the vanguard. The left flank did the same.

With the arrow slits being the only openings on the battlements it was very difficult to hit the Falmer defenders. Though with the humans returning fire, the elves' rate of fire slowed a bit.

Randagulf's warband disembarked from their vessels.

Jofrodr cast his spell again and noticed that the elves were still watching from a distance and were moving farther.

"Are they moving to attack?" Bodvar asked.

"It appear that they are staying away. We might have scared them off when we came ashore." Jof replied.

"Cowards." Bodvar cursed.

"Randagulf, what is the plan now?" Captain Gunnar approached the Harbinger.

"The elves were up to something. They might have laid a trap for us further up river. We will send scouts towards the fortress and find out if they are laying in wait for us." The Harbinger replied.

Skorm remained in the Jarl's keep for an entire day before the Jarl spoke to him once more. She called him back to her throne room and he complied.

"I am still not sure of your Jarl's intentions, but his letter was intriguing. Since you know nothing of it, I may need to speak to him personally. Where is he?" Hildr asked.

"Jarl Harald is currently invading Mereth from Shorstein. I am afraid that if you wish to speak to him you'll need to head there." Skorm replied.

The answer didn't seem to please her. "It seems so. I sent some warriors on this war of his, but I didn't go myself. I suppose I should join the battle. You must know about the status of the war, tell me about the details."

Skorm explained the details that he knew.
