The Battle of White Mountain (Dwarven: Krazdran eron Haj'Nogaak), was an early battle in the Eighteen Years' War fought on the 1st of the First Seed, 1536, in which an army of 19,000 dwarves and human mercenaries under Belegar Ireheart were defeated by 21,000 men and elven auxiliaries of John I, Holy Orenian Emperor, led by the general Henry Rothesay, at Haj'Nogaak ("White Mountain"), near Erochland. The battle marked the beginning of the Orenian invasion of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, leaving the Orenian landing point of Erochland and Luciensport safeguarded from Dwarven incursion.
