The Tetk'in, on receiving a letter from Daconia, diverted their coffers towards building up their military to its highest level thus far in history. After several years of construction and training, the forces were ready to be put into action. A navy composed of many brand-new Catamaran Warships and several Dromons (which remain from the mostly destroyed pirate-combating flotilla) was assembled in Tz'amtanak'al, then maneuvered around the horn of Chik'in Ak'al, through Chakat waters, to the waters of Pylona, where the sips have been rafted up to await orders. Aboard the Catamaran Warships are 7800 military manpower of troops, many of whom are fresh from training around a year earlier.

The Tetk'in have also contacted Chakat, promising them a sum of 750 gold if they will put their troops under the command of Tetk'in generals in an upcoming war.

The Tetk'in are prepared now to move against the Soft Sands. All that the fleet waits on is the result of the soon-to-complete First Conclave of Aumwen.

Tetk'in forces have been prepared, and moved close to the front. Their composition is as follows:

Navy: 665 Naval Power

• 90 Catamaran Warships (UU Caravel Replacement)
• 7 Dromons

Army: 7800 Manpower

• 1500 Tohil Riders ("Feathered Serpent Riders"; Knight Reskin)
• 2500 Pikemen
• 3000 Plumed Archers (Compound Bowman Reskin)
• 80 dissembled Trebuchets (with operators/engineers)

Levies: 3000 troops to be levied from Chakat for 225 gold

Only LED is currently privy to the knowledge of the fleet's position.
