Prelude

Following the Covenant's defeat at Westmark, the Captain-General of Veletz announced a southern offensive [1] aiming to establish a foothold within the domain of a Grand Covenent member state. The allied armies of Veletz, the Iron Horde, and Stassion navigated southward across the Petra via the Constance River before continuing on foot to emerge on the rural easternmost reaches of Balian.

The Grand Covenant had regrouped those who survived Westmark to persue the opposing offensive and replenished their forces in the southern canonist Kingdom. In preparation for the battle, Balianese & Covenant engineers built palisades & dug ditches surrounding their camp.
