Prelude
The Battle of Shadowcastle was the first engagement in what would be the Ithrun War. The rebellion of House Silverblade and House Tarus had split the Kingdom of Oren in two, with the rebellion seeking control over the Kingdom. The first fort in the way was the Scatternberg which prompted the engagement at Shadowcastle.
Battle
The Tarus Rebellion and the Grand Kingdom of Urguan marched together on the Scatternberg and later siege to it. A flanking force of Orenians pressured the northern flank of the armies, causing them to take shelter in the nearby Shadowcastle. A force of Orenians sallied out and with the flanking force breached the waycastle across the bridge of the keep. The rebel armies attempted to breach the Orenian fort with little success, and were forced to destroy the bride between the Shadowcastle and the nearby mountain peaks. The Orenians and the Rebellion exchanged arrow fire across the bridge until eventually the Orenians recovered fallen trees to use as a bridge. The Orenian army charged across the makeshift bridge and made the rebel army retreat to the upper keep. The Orenians prepared to break down the gate to the rebel army but instead were flanked from behind by a contingent of the remaining rebels and dwarves, inflicting many casualties on both sides and leaving only a handful of either side engaged in the fighting, until the rebel armies called a retreat.
Impact
As a result the rebellion was crushed, and the Dwarven Legion routed back to Urguan. This loss effectively isolated the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and lead to the Oren launching an invasion of Urguan.
