In 7042 (2519 IC), a Goblin horde assailed Zhufbar without warning but failed to breach its defences. An army from Karaz-a-Karak rapidly marched to the beleaguered hold's aid. The goblins were quickly dispersed but it soon became evident that the goblins had actually been fleeing a greater threat. Within weeks a powerful Ogre army bypassed Karak Kadrin and marched on the Moot. The armies of Karaz-a-Karak, Karak Kadrin and Zhufbar unite under High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer and give battle as the Ogres hold the River Aver. Just as the Ogres turn at bay, their forces divided by the river, an army of Men from Nuln arrived on the scene. Caught between the Dwarfs and Men, the Ogre ranks are swept by the largest concentration of artillery yet seen in the Old World and utterly destroyed.[1a]
