-===Story===
+True to his word, once Lanbec'h had been slain, Howgarth III dispersed the Earl's forces and withdrew them from orcish territory. For his part, Kapou'e withdrew from Dorest and dispersed the Great Horde. However, before the horde was dispersed, he appointed three more shamans — with the consent of all — to make the Great Council complete again.
-As they did his father, Howgarth III issued an invitation to Kapou'e to join the Northern Alliance. Kapou'e declined. Instead he went back to Barag Gór and, making that his capital, established himself as sovereign over all the northern tribes.
+As Rahul had done to Kapou'e's father, Howgarth III issued an invitation to Kapou'e to join the Northern Alliance. Kapou'e declined. Instead he went back to Barag Gór and, making that his capital, established himself as sovereign over all the northern tribes.
 Kapou'e ruled for many years, and those years were a time of unprecedented prosperity and unity for the orcs. Under the leadership of Kapou'e, the united orc forces thoroughly scoured their territory of any renegade bands of humans, dwarves, elves, and undead. Agreements were thrashed out to the effect that orcs desiring to trade would have free passage anywhere in orcish territory without hindrance from other tribes.
@@ Line 1,138: / Line 1,137: @@
 During the eighth year of Kapou'e's reign, and then again in the fourteenth, the orcish territories were once again invaded, first by the elves, and then once again by the humans. As testament to the power of the orcs united under Kapou'e, both attacks were quickly and decisively crushed, even before the Northern Alliance could intervene.
-In order to keep fighting between the tribes to a minimum, Kapou'e also maintained an enormous army, drawn from all corners of his empire. To offset the cost of maintaining such an army, he often hired out portions of it to act as mercenaries in foreign struggles. People of all races took advantage of this and, consequently, those orcs thirsting for battle got more then enough to keep them from attacking their nearest neighbors.

 Grüü in particular took great delight in these excursions. The huge, cunning, and swift troll soon became even more well known than Kapou'e. Tales of his courage and cunning reached even as far as Wesnoth itself.

 Kapou'e agreed to meet Howgarth III. Not trusting the human however, Kapou'e brought along Grüü, as well as one of his most trusted soldiers. Earl Lanbec'h flatly refused to attend the parley.
-The human attack having stopped for the time being, both parties met in the middle of the battlefield. Howgarth III demanded that Kapou'e give Dorset back to the humans and return to their lands as defined in the treaty. Kapou'e refused to do so as long as the humans were attacking orcish lands. He demanded that the humans disperse their forces and return any land they had stolen from the orcs. Only then would he return Dorset and disperse the Horde.

-That having been settled, Kapou'e began to inquire about the death of his father. Howgarth III repeated his story, that the last thing they heard from Black-Eye Karun was the message declining their invitation to join the Northern Alliance, brought by none other then Shan Taum himself.
