The Army of the Kingdom of the West, over 20 strong, invaded Atenveldt during mid-February. After initial scouting forays, both armies noted the approach of an army from the Kingdom of Caid, apparently waiting jackal-like in the wings, to attack the weakened victor. His grace, Henrik, Duke of Havn, Commander of the Western Army, arranged a truce with the Captains of the Sun in order to remove the scavengers from the field.
