First War of the Reaches
The end of the Hastur Rebellions was a time of great celebration throughout the Reaches - the reign of terror by the sons of Hastur had ended. However, the men and women of the Reaches were hesitant and confused by the arrival of heroes missing for the last fifty years. Had they exchanged one set of despots for another? The orcs to the north and the Sandalese to the south were on the warpath. The defenses of the Reaches were in tenuous at best - and, in some areas, in shambles. Who was to be trusted? Would the madness ever end?
The Events of 886 TA
The peoples of the Eastern and Western Reaches faced a long rebuilding after the rebellion and a long, harsh winter. Using some of the gold recovered from the retaking of Teufeldorf, King Fleetwood and King Goodfellow provided generous donations to the populace in the form of food, shelter, and clothing - while eliminating the repressive taxes of the previous decades.
Meanwhile, sensing the need for swift and overwhelming military action, the Crown mobilized the armies for a two-front war. The campaign season was dubbed Dwarven Thunder.
Dwarves coming from the western slopes of the Shadowyarn Mountains swept north towards the Pass of Lar dispatching the defending orcs in early April 886 TA. In May 886 TA, they pushed through the pass and into the mostly-undefended eastern plains of the Orc Nation sacking the castle at Broken Wood. While a small orc army led by General Truk remained in the east, the dwarves were able to push through to the orcish capital of Dourmoor - successfully sieging it on the mid-summer solstice. As the dwarves headed south at the end of the campaign season, the orcish strongholds at Stonefist and Tanglewood were also sacked.
In August and September 886 TA, Middlefield was sieged and sacked by an army of goblins, black orcs, and carrion birds led by General Truk. In late September 886 TA, an army of elves, dwarves, and giant eagles led by William Markinghamshire routed the exhausted orcs in the Battle of Middlefield.
Southern Reaches
With advanced warning that the Tomb Kingdom and Sandal were marching on the city of Freeport, the knights of the Western Reaches moved south. These two armies met east of the Crossgate Castle in an epic battle with heavy casualties on both sides. The forces of evil retreated, and the knights pushed further south successfully sieging Whitehall Castle. An emergency mustering of undead carrion and Sandalese marauders finally stopped the southern advance of the knights.
