The Great Seshui Campaign

Overview: The Great Seshui Campaign began as a response to the Marian Invasion upon the Highborne Empire. This attack came right after the attack by the Gilnean State, leaving the Highborne Empire in a rough spot. In this campaign, a bright young general known as Ulthras Alellor who had beat back the Gilneans at Ravencrest and nearly succeeded in capturing Zeltbirge, would truly make a name for himself. In all the campaign would last four weeks with varying results.

Initial Stages - Marian Advancement upon Teldryr
When the Marians led by Commander Aiche the Grey saw weakness in the defenses at Teldryr due to the moving of armies and glaive throwers away, an opportunistic attack had been ordered by the naive commander. He had truly believed that the time of Highborne hegemony was coming to an end, and with two armies numbering 16,000 combined he marched upon Teldryr. The City of Teldryr only had one measly army defending it, which was diminished in size due to four battalions being sent off to join the war against the State. The Highborne defenders only numbered about 6,000 when the much larger Marian Army invaded. They crossed the I'ro (Seshui) River easily, submerging in the water and swimming downstream for a flank upon Teldryr. In the eyes of the Marian high command, once Teldryr falls the entire rotting structure that is the Highborne Empire will come crashing down. Aiche the Grey held this belief with him dearly, which would lead to his premature death.
