Eastmarch had waited and planned long enough. Their original force of 1850 soldiers, 200 from each village and 450 from the town, was bolstered by converted 100 bandits that had been imprisoned for a year and then trained for 3 months to join the lower ranks of the army. With 1950 men under his command Jarl Engar marched his forces west of Windhelm and then north, heading towards Kastav.

Unlike Amol the old Fort hadn't grown into a town, but into a large village. Due to the seclusion in the north of Skyrim. Winterhold maintained a good garrison of soldiers there, about 500 men. But that wouldn't be a problem for Eastmarch's large army.
