The War of West Dramari/The Fall of Tel-Harok

About 6 years before our campaign begins, an Orc Uprising in the Western Dramari Wastes led to the destruction of the Human Kingdom of Tel-Harok. When the Uprising began, the Elves of the Wood and the Kingdom of Dupan quickly rushed to the aid of the attacked Kingdom, and the West Dramari Alliance was born. The alliance then extinguished the Orcs. Unfortunately for the Tel-Harok, the Orc God, Gruumsh, became angry with his subjects after the loss and demanded they attack again. The second attack of the Orcs was Swift and decisive, with war boats landing on the Harrion Coast and cutting a line straight from the coast to the capital city of Damalia. Before the rest of Western Dramari could mobilize their forces, the King of Tel-Harok, Merric Jormalla, and all of his heirs were dead. The Kingdom of Dupan and the Elves attempted to push the Orcs out of the kingdom but the blessings of Gruumsh proved too difficult to defeat. The war ended in a standstill about 50 miles south of the border with Dupan, which that Kingdom now claims as sovereign territory. The orcs are still there, watching for a weakness in Dupan, and waiting for a signal from their gods telling them to attack.
