=== Second Northern War ===
In June, Emhyr var Emreis heard news of the Aedirnians and Lyrians stationed in Dol Angra, awaiting orders to attack Glevitzingen, an Imperial border post, to set off the Second Northern War. The White Flame mustered an army, led by Coehoorn, in the region in secret, ready to counterattack at a moment's notice. During the night of July 1st, Caldwyn and other Nilfgaardian forces disguised as Lyrians and Aedirnians seized Glevitzingen. Mere moments after, a group of King Demavend III's heralds escorted by Lyrian soldiers – all of whom were quite possibly still disguised Black Ones – informed the folk of the surrounding villages that Aedirn was taking control now. Claiming this an act of aggression, Coehoorn led the Imperials across the Yaruga immediately, conquering the Lyrian border fortresses Scala and Spalla in just three days. Rivia was prepared for months of siege but capitulated under the promise of no harm.
Following Rivia's capture, Coehoorn appointed Caldwyn's Father Duke Ardal aep Dahy to govern the city, leaving a considerable force to hold the capital but Caldwyn stayed in Coehoorn's Army.
From Rivia they marched north, almost without encountering resistance, as the armies of Demavend and Meve withdrew, unable to form a front in the deciding battle. The Nilfgaardians reached Aldersberg, and so Demavend and Meve decided to join battle, though their numbers proved too light, and the fortress was capitulated. Next Coehoorn's Army besieged and sacked Vengerberg over a week's span, slaughtering nearly all 6,000 residents. Finally they march north to Lormark, where on a bridge on the river Dyfne, Coehoorn shook hands with Margrave Mansfeld of Ard Carraigh, signalising Kaedwen's newfound neutrality to Aedirn's capitulation.
In late 1267 Caldwyn was tasked to deliver a letter to his Father and the commander of the East Army Group, Duke Ardal aep Dahy, a ultimatum signed by Emperor Emhyr var Emreis. On his way to his father he was surrounded by Meve and her troops. He talked to Meve without telling her that he was the son of Ardal and played the role of a simple courier. She didn't believe him but after reading the letter she let him move on. When Caldwyn arrived at his father's he handed him the letter. Caldwyn already knew what the letter was about and made sure his father followed what the letter said. Which resulted in Ardal's suicide by poison.
Under the appearance of a simple messenger, Caldwyn was able to simply return to Coehoorn with his men. 
In March 1268, Coehoorn's Army met his defeat at the Battle of Brenna. The reconnaissance units commanded by Lamarr Flaut he sent out before the battle failed to notice the Nordling reserves under voivodes Bronibor and Blenckert. These units tipped the scales in favor of the Nordlings and Caldwyn was forced to flee. He was one of the only Officer's who were able to retreat.
