Redeployment of armies of Aundair

Military action

Aundair’s Regent Marlex, securely in power now, concocted a bold scheme in late 925. Troops would be stripped from the static Karrnathi campaign, including the garrisons over the key supply line across Scions Sound, in order to reinforce the two towers operating in western Thrane.

A major push in the area of Ghalt would cut off the southern half of Thrane and force the church to sue for peace. Even if the operation was not a major success, Thrane forces would be pushed that much farther from Fairhaven and would be unable to conduct serious operations elsewhere.   Unfortunately for Aundair, a deep-cover devotee of the Flame was embedded in its command staff. At great personal risk, he leaked the plans to his priest, who passed them along to his superiors.
