Battle of Mount Gorgon

Battle of Mount Gorgon

 

Anyone who watched the flight of the loons would know that something was afoot in the north. The migratory birds avoided the pillars of chimney smoke rising from the rooftops of St. Karlsburg. The metropolis of Haense was positively bustling with armies levies of all creeds and banners shuffling about the city, arming themselves and ultimately returning to the organized sea of tents that made up the preliminary war camp.

 

Far away from the industrious preparations of the Imperial Army, the Emperor sat in the court of Haense with all his dignitaries, commanders and regional nobles. They had convened there every evening for a span now, and those outside had only heard excerpts of the conversation.

 

“The Urguanites have been given a chance to uphold the terms of our peace, but they have failed! The snow elves we exterminate return to the warm bosom of the Dwedmar, escape the justice they deserve. The savage orcs too live under their vassalage. Urguan has become nothing more than a safe harbor for enemies of Oren to hide and rebuild, only to strike at our Empire once more! We must put this to an end!”

 

As days passed, and the armies of Oren prepared, it became more and more evident that they were soon to be marching in the direction of the Dwarves.
