Sundorag Scouring

This conflict started mere months before the Cataclysm swept over the world and was never offically ended and is unlikely to given the threat that the Sundorag presents. Scouts in Ursand had reported a massive gathering of the Sundorag in the Dragon-Teeth Mountains which is a prelude to a full scale invasion. Knowing that the people of Savorah began to muster everything they could to find and eliminate the pockets of Sundorag that managed to lodge themselves in hard to reach places across the continent. None of the factions could withstand the brunt of the Sundorag on the front line while the back lines were being raided.
The Scourgers were created to fight these battles where armies can't reach. There are still groups active despite the fact they haven't had orders in years. Some units of Scourgers have come together to form their own leadership having become an unoffical guild. Many exiled dwarves choose to join the Scourgers to help protect their families from the eternal menace of the Sundorag.

The Conflict

Prelude

Ursand regularly sends scouts into the Oasis of Norhesh who make journies into the mountains to keep track of the Sundorag movements. When a group of scouts came across a massive gathering of orcs it could only mean they had a leader to unite them all and keep them in line. Which meant it was only a matter of time before they poured through the Doom Pass and into the south lands.

Deployment

As preperation for the oncoming invasion military commanders came togoether to form specialized units known as the Scourgers. The dwarves gave their knowledge of the mountains and years of combat experience against the orcs, the Falsoree comitted healers to the cause, the gnomes alchemical and magical weapons. Ursand provided the majority of the warriors but were also aided by the local tribesmen and beast race volunteers. These Scourgers were meant to deploy to areas suspected or known to have Sundorag outposts that were left behind during previous invasions. Their objective simple, find and destroy the pillars of ruinination at the heart of the camp and bleed the Sundorag of their numbers. If they were unable to complete the first objective they were to harass the Sundorag and send word for reinforcements.

Battlefield

The battlefields of the Scourgers would be in the hardest to reach places, where armies and siege wepaons couldn't make it. They would fight on skree coated slopes, among frozen peaks. They were trained to use gurellia tactics against the vastly number superior forces of the Sundorag.
