Peace in the Seven Realms of Adalmearc is only as strong as those who rule them. With the death of the high king and his heir too young to assume the throne, political intrigues fill the landscape as the leading noble families scheme and plot their way to power. Meanwhile, enemies abroad sense the changes and make their own preparations. 

Standing as a safeguard against both foreign foes as well as enemies closer to heart are the Order and its knights. Keeping the realms of Adalmearc united and at peace is their foremost duty. But when the strife turns political and the enemy is difficult to discern, when alliances shift and allegiances are torn, even the hitherto unassailable honour of a knight may become stained.

The Eagle's Flight: The Chronicles of Adalmearc

In the aftermath of the battle of Lake Myr, the remaining Order forces were not making plans along the veins of Vale or Isarn. Instead, they were marching with forced speed through eastern Adalrik while evading or placing distance between themselves and Athelstan's mounted scouts. When finally a full day had passed where there had been no sign of Isarn's soldiers, Richard and Brand agreed that their ruse had worked and Athelstan had turned his mind elsewhere; they turned the army north into the hills and marched towards the imposing Weolcans.
