Athora came from Adorn as she had promised, following her were the men of Adorn and the surrounding areas that were not lready with Neurion. The Dunland banner flowed with the afternoon wind, the sounds of horses hooves could be heard before they reach the fort. Athora looked at the fort that she had not seen before and was impressed, the design was perfect for defences.

Neurion had been busy preparing his men were ready out front, and the baggae train was all loaded now they just had to wait for Neurion.
Inside the fort in the main building Neurion was discussing plans with his generals over maps of Rohan. When Athora arrived Neurion quickly summoned her in, and pulled up a seat.
"At the moment i can't tell you exactly what my plans are but as i see it Rohan will move their forces to their stronghold Helms Deep. I have a scouting party there and 2000 corsairs already waiting. It shall be a hard war but i think we can win."

She listened carfully and looked at the maps at his last comment she replyed "We are from Dunland of course we shall win! Helms Deep is strong but it has been breached before it can be done again."

Neurion smiled at her optimism. "Yes Rohan shall fall and Dunland shall rise to where it should be, and our ancestors will know we have our land back."
Neurion started to fold up the maps and sketchs putting them in a bag he handed them to a boy who placed them in one of the baggage trains.
A meal was brought out for those present and they ate and drank for some this might be their last meal.

"Tell me, what do you know of the ones that lead Rohan and who are their allies in this?" Athora ate and drank little of what was there and had trouble staying seated.

"From what i've been told only Gondor has offered any support at the moment. They have sent 1800 men to Helms Deep. Other than that Rohan has 7000 warriors all up."

"I personaly have not, Rhodry the leader of the scouts has met Eowyn. He said she had spirit but he would break her. Other than her Eomer her brother was at Helms Deep but did not get the chance to meet Rhodry."

She nodded "They do not sound altogether to challaging, but I hope Rhodry does not say he could break her merly beacuse she is a women." she smiled.

"No he means he shall break her spirit untill she is to scared to even appear at Helms Deep, In war it matters not if you be man or women, orc or goblin, elf or dwarf.

"We wait, until i know exactly how they have organised their army then we shall move. They should feel threatend as corsairs are at their doorstep."
Finishing his meal Neurion stood and stretched his legs his sword buckled to his side swayed with the movement.
