Diplomatic action
In an effort to redeploy Aundairian forces King Aarott makes a proclamation withdrawing troops from Karrnath, and claiming that Aundair would only fight to restore its pre-war boarders.
Unlike Cyre, Aundair did not intend to sit idly by while more than half the kingdom seceded. A campaign against the Reaches, however, would require significant redeployment. After years of tenuous occupation, and faced with Karrnathi forces newly freed by Cyre's retrenchment, King Aarott finally abandoned his foothold in Karrnath. Aundairian forces withdrew to a new defensive line at the Starpeak Mountains. During this retreat, perhaps seeking to pacify his enemies, King Aarott renounced the Cyran claim to Galifar’s throne and claimed he would fight only to restore Aundairian borders.
