 Another elite army was selected for the final campaign. Twenty knights of the Royal High Guard and 40 men-at-arms of the Royal Low Guard would lead the column. Sixty knights of the ''Checkered Shield'' and 120 men-at-arms would form the rear guard. As before, the bulk of the army would be drawn from the veterans of the North and South armies, 100 knights and 200 men-at-arms. The remainder of the army was made up of elite mercenaries hired at great expense, 60 heavy horse and 120 medium and light foot. In total 240 knights and 480 infantry plus squires and servants formed the attacking army.
-The most difficult troops to find were the siege engineers. A highly specialized trade, there are few on Harn, mostly mercenaries who travel from conflict to conflict. After the loss of Sarkum and Hebon in '''<span style="color:#006699">688 TR</span>''', Grolis tried to hire siege engineers locally without success. Finally, in desperation he dispatched an embassy to <u>Trierzon</u>. After several months, they returned with Gelsing of Buhay, a highly skilled mercenary captain and his troop of 20 engineers. Although expensive, Gelsing proved his worth at the siege of Hebon and just the news of the arrival of the engineers at Sarkum, shortly after the death of King Kabe, encouraged the garrison to surrender. In anticipation of the attack on Menekod, Grolis sent the mercenaries to Dunir two weeks before his other troops.

 The remaining feudal levies and household troops of the nobility totalled over 1500. They would march north to Heroth under the join command of the Earls of Heroth and Sarkum.

They fell in love and were married in '''<span style="color:#006699">677</span>'''. She became his constant companion, even joining him on campaign.

Forty-four years old at the end of the war, Sir Meurs found it hard to adjust to the peace that followed Ezar's War. When Sir Grolis retired to Selvos as Earl, <u>no one else seemed interested in him or his elite infantry.

In '''<span style="color:#006699">689 TR</span>''', he assembled a group of young knights and yeomen from the island and at his own expense chartered a ship to Aleath.

 SIR ANTIN MULEWIS: Another mercenary captain, Antin hailed from Shorkyne. The leader of a group of irregulars known among the army as "The Forty Thieves", his men specialised in infiltration and intelligence gathering. Held in contempt by the traditional nobles, Grolis skilfully used him to gather information and sneak behind enemy lines.
