Weight of command (1)

With the dawn arrived a new day. The day brought a gentle breeze to accompany the warm sun that bathed the Steppes in its light. Several hills near Lenia's camp had been fortified and soldiers prepared calmly within those temporary fortifications as they waited for the battle which was sure to begin soon. Small earthen and timber forts had been built on those hills with defensive towers overlooking the area between the two armies. It was sure to soon become a place of brutality and death. 

Between the two armies was a mostly flat plain, with the occasional hill or large mound. Although Lenia had a force of cavalry, her army mainly consisted of infantry and ranged units. However, they had a large number of magic casters which could summon all manner of beasts and cast a variety of buff and debuff spells. Lacking a larger cavalry force was a weakness in this case because of the Dark Elven rangers and cuirassiers.
