The time to pacify the threat to our east has arrived, the opportunity presenting itself at a time when their armies have marched to the mysterious lands east.
An independent cohort of Changelings was hired - The Guerillas - at an exorbitant value in Opal stones. These stones will never be delivered as payment. Payment does however go out to changelings willing to supply relevant forward information from within Ordalan, as well as to the north in Guliseare. Now would be a most unfortunate time for a Harpy attack, so the border is regularly patrolled and monitored through the changeling intel network as well as by scouts on Drakeback.
To the south, Domo mercenaries too are also hired, promised payment in the form of land at the Rose Garden, an apparent site of past defeat. These non-human tribals are known to be a risk, their terms of employment are strict, prohibiting savage behavior and punishing it harshly. This is a mission of liberation. Normally, it may seem antithetical to march with beasts the Ordalan have quarreled with in the past, though it is hoped that seeing them behave in accordance with Adenai civility will prove the power of the Confederacy to not simply defeat enemies, but to peacefully civilize them.
The Adenai military rallies at Castra Orienta, and heads south along the coast. This circumvents easily fortified locations along the main road, though it makes the travel more difficult. This also keeps the army supplied more steadily, as supplies are shipped through the Mapled Bay by boat and collected uncontested at the shore. Changelings scout ahead, aided by Drakes to prevent sucessful ambushes. The army will then turn east, and march on Sturnes to capture the heart of Ordalan.
The Changeling mercenaries are better used as agents of chaos - using their powers of espionage and confusion to sow panic in Ordalan, both in Sturnes and beyond.
The Domo mercenaries link up with Adenai to assault the city.
