The Sacking of Rekkenmark

Military action

Aundair’s armies crossed Scions Sound and overran Rekkenmark and pushed far to the east, even approaching the Karrn River

By the spring of 898, the Aundairian navy had managed to force the bulk of Karrnath’s ships north of the White Arch Bridge. That enabled a sizable force to cross over Scions Sound and begin a long-standing campaign in the north.   When word reached Cyre, raids launched from the south struck deep into Karrnath, again focusing on supply lines and communications. The extent of Karrnath’s predicament at the time was not fully understood outside the highest echelons of the nation’s aristocracy. Even so, all knew starvation hovered and plague stalked the land. It is a testament to Karrnathi courage and tenacity that the nation’s depleted armies did not fail. In the worst of circumstances, they stood firm, exacting a price for every mile of land they gave up.
