An Orcish Incursion
In the years following King Haldric's arrival to the Great Continent, the elves struggled to adapt to the presence of humans. There were great differences and disputes between the two peoples, but at least there was some common ground. The orcs, on the other hand, were completely alien. Fortunately they were also seldom seen.
Scenario 1 – Defend the Forest
Erlornas' scouts encountered a party of orcs in the northern reaches of elvish lands. They defiled the forest and their actions cried out for their removal. Erlornas and his party drove the orcs out and hear that an orc named Rualsha is organizing
Scenario 2 – Assassins
The orcish war band cut an obvious trail through the forest. Following it, the elves were surprised to see an unknown keep; it was on elvish lands but elvish scouts had been to relaxed in their patrols. Erlornas defeated the Orcish Assassin and laid waste to his keep but again heard troubling reports of orcs massing under Rualsha's banner.
Scenario 3 – Wasteland
Again the orcs' trail was easy to follow; they destroyed not just people and property, but the very land and forest. The elves encountered a small band of orcs and took no prisoners.
