The Norther Reach Expeditionary Forces were recently decimated as they headed to Durndruk Hold, an ancient fortress south of Mosstone. For centuries, this stronghold has guarded the entrance to the Starspire Pass, a crucial trade route for your people. The force, 120 strong was savagely attacked and then betrayed by a trecherous Dwarven Barbarian known as Durn Ironforge, A.K.A. Thrak Ironforge.
The command structure was systematically targeted during the attack. Here you can see the list of the dead (as well as the traitor).
