From the introduction:
For more than a thousand years the Dark Citadel of the Dwarves protected the mountain pass between the land of Orcs and the lands of men. For all of those years the Orcs and Goblins of the northern lands were prevented from raiding into the south. The fortress was constantly under attack. There were many siege attempts that failed. Now the citadel lies in ruins.
A new tribe of Orcs began to dominate the northern lands. The Death Fist tribe was led by a fearless Orc warrior by the name of Ogrul the Slayer. Ogrul was known to wield a gigantic spear said to be given to him by his god. These Orcs worshiped “One Eye” whose followers lived for war. It is also said that Ogrul wore a grotesque amulet. The amulet was a bloody eye ripped from the face of some enemy in combat.
Ogrul united the various humanoid tribes of the lands to the north and lay siege once again to the Dark Citadel. This time turned out differently. The Death Fist Orcs breached the walls with their savagery and quickly overwhelmed the defenders.
As quickly as the tribes united, the tribes, fell into old habits. Instead of pressing on into the southern lands they instead stopped to loot and pillage. They began squabbling over the spoils. Soon the entire coalition fell apart. Many of the tribes returned home to their lands and have not gathered again. Occasionally small bands of humanoids do make raids from the north but these are few and far between.
Whatever became of Ogrul is unknown. He was not heard of again after the sacking of the Dark Citadel. His Death Fist Clan has not been heard of for some time now.
The Dark Citadel still stands in ruins. The Dwarves that lived in the citadel were wiped out entirely. The Orcs left no survivors and took no prisoners. No one has attempted to rebuild the fortress and few venture there any more. The ruins stand upon a hill overlooking the mountain pass. There are tales of great riches of the Dwarves who lived in the citadel. It is known that these Dwarves provided fabulous gems which were sold all over the lands of men. A few adventurers have attempted to explore the ruins but few have returned alive.
