-=Blackstone Fortress, The Black Pass, Empire of Man territory=-

The Blackstone Fortress has stood for generations once as a dividing wall between two great nations, and now as Mankind's primary defense from the creatures of the Dread Desert. But the Legendary Fortress' gate now sits splintered and shattered the courtyard filled with the scattered bodies of the Empire Knights who defended its walls, and the Orc invaders that breached those defenses. Scattered battles still wage across the Keep as the Empire knights fight to slay as many Orcs as they can before they fall.

The Knight Captain stands long sword drawn as he faces off against an unusually big Red skinned Orc, his helm is already slashed and his armor stained with his blood. Stumbling forward he tries to attack the orc again who side steps the strike and backhands the knight. The knight tumbles to the ground and the orc drops its ax. As the Knight Captain tries to stand the Orc grabs him by the throat dragging the man to the rafters holding the captain over the edge.

"[color=9e0b0f]Today we have shown the filthy Humans exactly why they used to fear our kind! Why they will fear us once more![/color]" The Orc yelled to his troops who gave a cheer at the words. "[color=9e0b0f]We now have a land to call our own and this is just the beginning! Soon the Bloodfang Clan will become stronger and subjugate these pitiful Humans! We will return them to their rightful place![/color]" He boasted just before tossing the Commander off the balcony leaving the broken corpse to rot with his men. The orcs below cheered in victory, a dreadful cheer that spread out for miles around the keep.
