Backstory

The War of a Thousand Skirmishes began when the civilized races, in an effort to push further into unchartered lands, woke the collective wrath of the monster races living there. At first, it was a goblin tribe here, a kobold tribe there, but with further expansion came more and more enemies. Under the banner of the Ogre Chieftain Dargok, all Ogre tribes rallied. In time, many other monster races heard of Dargok's victories and soon pledged their loyalty as well. They were able to band together against civilization, thus calling themselves The Legion of Dargok. In total, they were comprised of gnolls, bugbears, orcs, ogres, trolls, kobolds, and goblinoids. The gnolls brought their necromancy, the bugbears rode giant spiders into battle. The orcs had dire wolves and archers, ogres brought their mages and brute strength, and the trolls brought poison and disease. The goblinoids were mostly scouts, decoys, and fodder.

The war has gone on for seven years and is referred to as the War of a Thousand Skirmishes. This is in part due to the many, differently-styled attacks the Legion of Dargok launches at various villages and towns along the borders, and of all the retaliations as a result. During these past seven years, both sides have taken great losses, chieftains and shamans, nobles and commoners. Mages' Guildmaster Tynun MacMillain theorized the battle would eventually wipe out so many of each side that human expansion would no longer be necessary.

What shall this year bring?
