The defenders have taken up field positions in the unwalled town of Kievrÿl, a Canaris Novan village on a slight hill surrounded by unbroken grassy plains for several hundred kilometers in every direction. The plains are mostly flat, and a shallow river runs through it to form a natural U around the town's borders.

Valerius's armies have set up in the opening of the U over a long front, while the thirty thousand Donorian pikemen have joined with the hundred thousand from the Empire. A further forty thousand veteran Imperial men-at-arms under the command of Archcount Caecilius Marius from the northern border will arrive at the Imperial camp in two days.

The current commander of the larger Imperial force, Count Julius Antony, son of Viscount Gaius Antony, waits for Valerius to join his forces and take supreme command.
