The Orc Incursions

✎ Edit☷ Tools

A sequence of invasions and border wars that reshaped the northern roads and hardened the alliances of the settled kingdoms.

Origins

The Incursions were not a single invasion but successive movements of orc clans under changing war-leaders, driven south by scarcity, prophecy and rival powers beyond the known frontier.

Legacy

Fortified roads, abandoned valleys and several modern alliances date to this period. Later histories often flatten the conflict into a simple war, concealing the treaties and betrayals that ended it.
