Battle of Dovrefjell Forest

Taking place near the end of the reign of Jarl Haskell, the expedition into Dovrefjell Forest was an act of hubris on behalf of a Jarl who thought his forces invincible.
Dovrefjell Forest is considered perhaps the greatest defeat in Buskagar's history and its shame ultimately lead to the over-throw of Jarl Haskell, who was killed in a holmganga by the 20-year-old Asger Jorikson, who's father was killed in the adventure.
Since the defeat, the Astari of Buskagar and the Wood Elves of Dovrefjell forest have maintained a watchful peace, with neither seeking to infringe of the athority of the other.
