Galvin's Army IX battles Lord Asroth's entire raised army of around 12,000 just 50 miles south of Fort Faith in Ertund. While Army IX wins due to better discipline, equipment, and training, it is at great cost due to being so outnumbered.

Galvin moves Army IX to Imperial Ertund and leaves it under Hander Fermothson's command, then travels to Donwick.
