Bruce Vesperi would leaf through a dusty volume at a library.  He'd find a page that looks interesting and read this:  

A wood elven scribe recall his people contributing a rather sizable force to the war effort. He dips his quill in ink and writes:

"How the Fennic tribes believe they managed to gather a force of 60,000 when they could barely fit 600 in that box they called a fort is beyond me. Of that 600, most seemed to be orcs, dwarves and the undead. However, the fennic tribes are right about one thing, a good chunk of their population survived. I surmise this is because they ran, and let these mercenaries of other races fight for them.

On the Imperial front, while the Empire certainly has the potential to call 100,000 banners to war, in truth, they only sent around 1000. The Dominion Elves did not make up a majority of this force (as a snow elf propagandist would have you believe about his people), however, we contributed roundabouts 3/10ths of the army.

Beware of revisionist history, good Elves of Malin and Men of Horen, for the Fenn Tundrak would have future generations believe he died in a heroic last stand with a massive army by his side. Those who fought will know the truth: The Empire sent a token force and met a resistance of assorted rebels. This was not a heroic battle for the history books, this was clean up duty.

Above all, good citizens of Dominion and Empire- avoid the fate that has befallen me. Turn your nose up and avert your gazes, do not read too deep into the words of the Fenn, whose delusions of glory and power despite his constant destruction at the hands of his betters are what makes him a target in the first place. Do not indulge in the asinine nature of his words.

Because, like the thahnium ridden wasteland we drove them out of..."

Bruce would shrug at the abrupt ending of the account.  "Twas an interesting tale, but very inaccurate.  I was there and I don't remember any wood elves.  Lots of angry snow elves and one flying dwarf.  Good times."  He would set the book back on the shelf and instead read Orcs and Hard Times.
