On June 25, 4 [[Crops' calendar|AC]], [[Jon Dodbane]], the current king of Guldhir, and two of his associates were travelling through Thaambaile.

== Course of the war == |
|||
In an immediate response to the declaration, Thaambaile called upon their alliance, known as the Knights of the Rot Wuds, to take a stand against Guldhir. This resulted in the towns of [[Kherakar]], [[Nightfall]] and [[Scarred Hallow]] joining the war. A settlement named [[Aakan]], known to be in good relations with Thaambaile, was caught in the middle: under duress by Guldhirian forces, they eventually decided to formally merge with Guldhir. |

King Dodbane reached out to his ally, the Commonwealth of Blackthorn, who answered the call to arms soon after. The involvement of Blackthorians sparked interest in [[Kalikhan]], who still held relations with Blackthorn since the days they were both under the banner of the Triumvirate of Ceyreto. On Jule 16, 5 AC, Kalikhan also joined the war on the side of Guldhir. |

Late on Jule 12, after Blackthorn had announced their participation in the war, a city district by the name of [[Fort Khirom]] declared themselves independent from Blackthorn and neutral in the conflict. Fort Khirom had long held a policy of pacifism, a standpoint that differed from the rest of the Commonwealth. This resulted in Khirom leadership opting out from the war and ultimately from the rest of the union. |
|||
Despite their claims of neutrality, however, Khirom forces were recounted to repeatedly raid [[Zethortal]], the Commonwealth's capital. This prompted a response, whereupon the Prince of the newly independent city was captured and persuaded to pledge allegiance to the Commonwealth for a full pardon. Fort Khirom reunited with the Commonwealth on Jule 14. |
