Reforms in the Republic

After 20 years of rule the government of Urudik had finally been bale to cut off the dead and rotting parts of the old imperial system of rule, leaving a refined and effective set of laws for the Republic to follow. Many reforms had focused on economic reforms and removing power away from the rich merchant families that had dominated local politics for centuries and kept many from being able to navigate the social ladder. However a few had worked on trying to return the army to the same professional force it had been under Adahasis I of Erigarash Urudikāra and these plans had been greatly sped up after the series of embarrassing defeats at the hands of Dorgoil and Kisuran, both of whom many saw as rebellious vasal states.
By the end of the year 6301HaL (21 AR) the Commander of Urudiks armed forces, Hur ĭna, had increased their army to 12,000 men strong, mostly made up of Pikemen but having around 3000 mounted warriors as well as a 500 strong artillery group to try and combat the similar weapons used by Kisuran. The first battles this army would face would be in the attempted reconquest of their astern riverbanks from their new Drukai overlords, to limited success, only taking back a few small villages that had limited defenders. Their failure here was written up as limited supplies, due to their barges being blocked or captured by the armies of Dorgoil.
Another year went by and the Sabahras of Urudik grew inpatient due to his lack of expansion into the old lands of Urudik, as he had promised the people upon his ascension 7 years prior. With an election following soon he would demand that the army invade and occupy the city state and the armies would begin to rally outside the mighty red walls and a force of 4,000 would then march across the river to Ashuran.
