[center]The North Coast Of Valenwood 17th of Midyear, 4E 205[/center] The near ninety ships had anchored off the shoreline of northern Valenwood, and with the altmer forces there fully eradicated or pushed underground, or to the south, the redguards had in fact begun to fortify themselves in makeshift encampments stretched across the beaches that bordered the Gold Coast. Empty troop-transports had already begun to be ferried back under escort to Stros M'kai, Taneth, and Rihad. All to establish a steady supply line for the near ten thousand Ra-gada forces now settled on Bosmer lands after their short skirmish. The bulk of the forces gathered north of Emperor's Run and west of present day rooted Falinesti. Thankfully the region was not as densely forested as the heart of Valenwood, so close to the coast as it was. In the center of one such fortified camp dotted with many tents and supplies, with men scurrying about them like ants, was erected Temijens commanders tent, within all his top lieutenants and warlords had gathered, a square table capable of being dismantled in a hurry between them, maps and charts laid out upon it. "Our forward forces have not spotted any Thalmor forces since they have started fleeing deeper into the forest south." Khasta said. "As per your orders we have not followed to engage them." Temijen nodded. "Good. With any luck their power bases in northern Valenwood should already be competently taken by the empire. What of the Imperials and other local forces?" "As might be expected, their splitting up and wiping out any left over Dominion forces or areas of remaining resistance." One warlord, by the name of Shadand, quickly pitched in. "Have our forces aid in hunting down whatever's left of the Dominion, they have been in this country longer then we have, they know it better than us. Be sure they learn as much about the region as they can, as well as the movements of the imperials." Temijen then added. "The latter should be down as discreetly as possible." The man nodded as did the others. "Also, have our ships patrol the coastline, focusing on our supply lines in the gold coast region. With that done, spread our scouting parties in the surrounding region, I want to know every nook and cranny of this province just as well as I know the back of my hand by next months end, tell them to hire guides if they must, is that understood?" Again more nods of understanding. Not that Temijen needed to remind them of the basics of reconnaissance in a foreign land. Still the reminder would do them good. "Finally assemble a party and send it to Falinesti under the pretense of a diplomatic entourage, I want the message sent that I wish to speak with their...[i]Keeper'[/i] of theirs. It's high time I took the man’s measure, and for the Bosmer to start paying for the crimes done by their own hands." Varnklith crossed his arms following Temijen's declaration. "And will we be sending word to the Imperial warlord as well? Legate Barus-- a capable man if rumors are to be believed." "They are, the Emperors choose well in sending that one. I heard of him when I served in the Legions, before the Empire abandoned us. But yes, I will send word once my meeting with the Bosmer Keeper is concluded." [hider=Actions] -Yokudan warships patrol the coast of northern Valenwood. -Word has reached the capital of a Summit in Black March; preparations are under way to send a representative. -Redguard forces have dug in in the province of Valenwood. -Word has been sent to the Bosmer Keeper for a possible meeting between the leaders of both people (have more planned but all I have time to post amt) [/hider]
