The Long March (Khadenz: Elancri Rineg; Latin: Iter Longum) was an episode during the War of the Magpie and the Dragon, when the Cadenzan expedition under Tariq Kimepra advanced through Imperial Kamalbia over the course of a year. During the Long March, Kimepra captured numerous Imperial outposts and small towns as he waited for reinforcements to arrive piecemeal. Having landed in Kamalbia with two thousand men, he laid siege to Castrum Tiberium with seven thousand, securing Cadenzan control over the entire province.
There were few pitched battles along the March, although local Imperial guerrillas harried the Cadenzan army as it progressed through a hostile landscape. Kimepra's success in overcoming the logistical nightmare of leading thousands of men, subduing a province and rendezvousing with reinforcements arriving only intermittently earned him the praise and admiration of his superiors and, begrudgingly, his opponents.
