History
Around -4 IC a great horde of Greenskins invaded the lands of the Ostagoths and it was only the aid of the Dwarfs of Karak Kadrin and Zhufbar that saved them. By the time the Dwarfs had to withdraw to defend their own holds, King Adelhard he rallied his own warriors and was reinforced by those of the Asoborn, Cherusen, Taleutens and Unberogens and was able to bring them to a decisive battle on the Black Road. [1a]
The Orcs were shattered and the few survivors driven back into the mountains. [1a]
