The new Grandmaster was particularly concerned about the lands that were liberated by Corintar long ago, yet weren't under their jurisdiction. As the population of those settlements aged, they were starting to forget who gave them freedom and, as such, it was of the upmost importance to bring them back to the fold.
Thus, the preparations for war had begun. The first target was chosen to be the Iron Hammers, whose territory separated the Corintari exclave in Castonath from Corintar proper. They were allied with the Order of the Ashen Rose in the south and the Count's League in the east. The Count's League was also in a personal union with Marrhold, but as Corintar had supported their independence for half a century at this point, it was not expected to cause much issue. Thus, after finishing the construction of the fort in the capital and establishing diplomatic relations with Ravenmarch to cover the southern flank, Grandmaster Aldresia declared her first war.
Circumstances proved very favourable to Corintar, as the Ashen Roses were being overrun by orcs and were thus unwilling to intervene in some far away war in the north. The Iron Hammers' army was sent running after a single battle, and soon enough, all of their land was under Corintari control. Though the enemy had made some advances in the east, they too immediately fled once the superior Corintari-Ravenmarch army approached. With their capital occupied, junior partner disloyal, and orcs joining in on the war like vultures, the Count had no choice but to surrender. At last, after 4 years, the war had been won, and all of the Iron Hammers' territory was annexed into the ever-greater Corintari nation.
With the north reclaimed, Aldresia turned southward, where she saw an easy target in the utterly devastated Ashen Roses. Left with no allies, no soldiers, and probably a crippling debt from the orc war as well, the war against them was going perfectly, up until the orc clans of Bladebreaker attacked.
