The Battle of the Border

The Battle of the Border is widely regarded as the most important landmark battle in the Rise of the Orcs campaign against the Commonwealth. The Battle of the Border was the last battlefield on the Orc Incursion in AB.92, it took place on the borders of Nagumbria and the Commonwealth between Orcs and Humans.

It is also the event that gave Morathi of the Ironclaw her fame in the Commonwealth, because of her participation in the war efforts and her effective ending of the Orc King. The battle had started with negotiations, between the famed Heroes of the Commonwealth and the Orc King; Zunodagh one of the Orc Siblings of the Red Fist Tribe. After they had failed the battle commenced.

Both sides took heavy casualties in the encounter, but due to the alliances created by the cities of; Dhanab, Bulin and Furnace the battle was fought on even numbers. It is estimated that each side fought with 20,000 men making it the largest battle since the March of Crows.

Meanwhile on the battlefield, amidst the chaos, the Heroes of the Commonwealth fought their way to the Orc King in order to end this feud once and for all. They chased him to nearby mountains and fought him at the top along with the Orc King's sister Bula, a Half-Orc dark paladin of the Red Fists.

Zunodagh was defeated by Morathi, who decapitated him once he was weak enough to fall. The Heroes had chased him because Zunodagh had carried a particular item on his person when he started the war, a Red Stone known as one of the Stones of Tiamat.

Unknown to any on the battlefield, it was being watched by the likes of an Ancient Red Dragon that was later named Koveinth. When Zunodagh was slain, Koveinth flew over the battlefield, rising to the mountain and demanding the Red Stone for his own purposes, a stone that had been grabbed by Bula, the Orc King's sister.

Bula handed the stone to Koveinth, then she retreated the Orc armies back into Nagumbria. Bula agreed to negotiate the surrender of both sides, the Orcs would remain in Nagumbria and the Humans would remain in the Commonwealth, the Treaty of the Border was signed.

The heroes were honored for their participation and peace had appeared to be achieved.
