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. During the March, Kimepra captured numerous Imperial outposts and small towns as he waited for reinforcements. Having landed in Kamalbia with 2,000 men, he laid siege to Castrum Tiberium with seven thousand men, securing Cadenzan control over the entire province.
