In an attempt to thwart Skar Bloodwroth's ambitions of conquering all of Orc-kind, the Chiefs of Amplesh have killed the eldest son of the Vanguar High Chief. Seeking vengeance for his son and pursuing his of goal uniting all of Orcdom under a single banner, Skar marched a force of 4000 Orcs into Amplesh in order to crush the coastal clans, and force their submission. Meanwhile, south in Grimmhold, the capital of Vanguar, General Stryke has assembled a band to assist him in administration of the realm. Jup, son of Chief Harrow of Mordun, arrived at the ancient man-made fortress and took up his seat among the band. The move has fostered ill content among the clans of Wyke and Dunland, who feel slighted at not having part in affairs of the realm. Rumours abound of the more radical elements within these clans calling for rebellion. High Chief Skar, having taken nearly all able bodied warriors to fight in the north, has left it a challenge to defend the fortress should rebellion break out. As the season wanes, it becomes known of a great battle across the border in Amplesh, where the coastal clans have used Skar's anger against him, luring the High Chief into a trap. Blinded by rage, Skar sprung the trap and suffered a defeat at the hands of the Amplesh Orcs, decimating the Grimmhold levy. Though most of the Vanguard, the standing army of Vanguar and personal guard of the High Chief, survived, Skar's condition is unclear.
