The Orkish Triumph at Dawnhold

[DrunkPapaBear 1975]

 

Hôn izûbu grîzh, Ilzgûls.

(See our blood, spirits.)

(Accept our offering of darkspawns.)

(We will give you more corpses.)

At the Day of the Battle of Dawnhold, the Krug-hai of The Iron Horde, led by Targoth Kuvirr, were set to defend Zone 3: a gate leading into the subterranean halls of the hilly coastal region with a bridge crossing the valley-ravine leading towards it. Awkwardly enough, no Siege Weaponry (such as ballistae, cannons, trebuchets) were positioned within the walls

 

Alongside with the Krug-hai were deployed Celia’norean forces led by Princess Valyris, meeting at the summit of the hill the halls were built within; yet animosity was forsaken by the Orcish side, recognizing combat against the Mori to be of uttermost importance for the greater good of the Continent. The Celia'noreans, though, did not seek to collaborate and coordinate together whatsoever.

 

The Battle started with the Orcish Force positioning at the wall atop the gates using bolt and rock, while Celia’nor remained at the hilltop weaving voidal spells.

 

Words came out of the hilltop, words unknown to most. He spoke in a strange, foul, tongue the words "Yol Zahkrii".

Wormtongue, draconic.

 

Soon after the Celiano’reans fled, abandoning their position in an Act of Great Cowardry & Dishonor, betraying the defense plan and the orcs in the midst of battle, scattering and running. once they caught sight of the Hydra. Conveniently enough, after such further Azdrazi presence was reported, with multiple individuals apparently being kidnapped by the lizard-men.

 

Thus stood TEN KLOMPING KRUG-HAI to defend Zone 3 of the Dawnhold alone. 

Legions of Giant Moths, Giant Spiders and Mori Warriors tried to breach the defenses yet were warded off and killed. Until at last stood one final foe: an insectoid Juggernaut the size of a House charged across the bridge, swiftly climbing it and attacking those at the wall.

 

[ ST-Provided Ref Art of the “Juggernaut”]

 

So strong  it was that the entire hill shook, boulders cascading down onto the wall. Though as he climbed, Targoth Kuvirr noted its under-body was exposed, and thus was made subject to relentless blows from the Krug-hai: its leg-joints battered, weakening its grip onto the wall, until at last a Great Stone-Pillar was commanded to be pushed down onto the Creature’s Head, performed by Kor’garr. And as the pillar shattered upon its head, the Juggernaut was greatly stunned, rearing back as the Orcs pushed it backwards, causing the Behemoth-Bug to fall onto the bridge, breaking it and collapsing alongside the debris onto its death at the depths of the ravine.

 

With the Juggernaut’s Death, The Battle was Won. Zone 3 had been successfully defended by only 10 Krug-hai Warriors ALONE - despite all odds - while all others fell. 

 

All thanks to Strategy, Discipline & Strength.

 

Now The Krug-hai of the Horde pledge to pick up arms again, to aid in the Defense of the Amathean Capital in the Upcoming Months.

 

10 urûkim stood tall against the bugs, now the full might of the Iron Horde will rally to defend Amathea.

 

Âsh grîzh, âsh voice, âsh Horde!

SIGNED,

Destroyer of Elysium.

Champion of Ogrol, Chosen of the Ilzgûlz,

the Brown, the Burned, the Mad.

 

SIGNED,

Targoth of The Iron Horde.

 

 

[Mannamannaa 1626]

Kor'garr the Clanless removes his Krug-Hai plate, form splattered with Mori and vibrant insect blood. The grey orc lets out a harsh laugh upon reading of Celianorian cowardice, yet focuses more importantly upon their victory, a bright symbol of defiance amongst an otherwise dark and ruined battlefield.

"Lup'Kor, daht those whu fell wyth Honor meet dah Ancestral geytz." A mustached grin spreads around thick tusks.

"We held our position! It's not our fault the paladins and templars got overrun." A dark elf would grumble.

[lemonke 1873]

"May the spirits bless you all. Sons and Daughters of Krug!" An Elder Elfess cheered for her allies!

[Proddy 2242]

Servitos, an automaton who was also present at the Dawnhold that day and fought alongside the Orcs in the third zone would go to frown at the fact that he wasn’t mentioned in this missive… before realising that he possessed no mouth.
