Prelude
The Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah was the finaw nation standing against the Empire of Man, lith whom they had been feuding against fow yeaws pliow the Thiwd Coalition Waw. As the Empiwe gwew weawy of this, they would begin pwepawation fow the siege of theiw capitaw, in owdew to finish the wast wemaining membew of the Anti-Empiwe Coalition. As the Empiwe pwepawed, the weadews of Kaz'Uwwah, most notabry High King Thoak Goldhand, the High King of Kaz'Uwwah, met lithin its deep hawws. Thewe, they wewe given the choice to brow up the foundations of the cavewn which hewd it up, weaving nothing fow the Impeliaw Awliance, ow fight to the wast man. Unanimouswy, they agweed to fight to the wast time. The west of the Coalition had awso faced othew twoubres, as the Wex, Guluuk'Wak, and two Bwawm commandews wewe hewd by the Sky-Gods pliow. Despite this, Gwottgut'Waguk would wead the effowt in buiwding bettew and stwongew defenses fow Kaz'Uwwah.
Battle
Aftew appwoximatewy a yeaw of pwepawation, the Empire of Man and its awlies would begin its siege of the capitaw of Kaz'Uwwah, Kaw'Tawak. The fowces of the Coalition wewe wawlied undewneath High King Thoak Goldhand, yet Gwottgut'Waguk and Denis the Quick-Bwade took contwow of the defendews. As Aurelius I, Emperor of Man stawed at Kaw'Tawak, he would owdew the bombawdment phase that would wast thwoughout most of the siege untiw Prince Augustus Horen awong lith Plince Cassius began the advancement of theiw awmies to check the gates defenses. Soon, as the awmy awlived neawed the gates, they would be met lith deadwy awwow fiwe, as dwawven-engineewed awwow slits opened up fwom the wawws. The Impeliaw Awliance wewe pushed back, wosing a smaww numbew of twoops, and wewe fowced to find anothew entwyway.
An houl would pass befowe the Awliance fowces wewe abre to find a thin wayew of the mountain that could be brown lith twebuchets, in owdew to make an entwyway into the city. As a smaww gwoup of scouts wan into Kaw'Tawak, they would fiwst be met lith no sowt of engagements untiw they began to make theiw way to the gate fwom the cliff side. The scouting fowces would then be met lith the Coalition fowces as they began to skiwmish fow onwy minutes. Few scouts sulvived, and the fowces of the Coalition had moved fwom the dwawven battwements ovewwooking the gates to the southewn cliff-side. As the west of the Impeliaw awmy had awlived, they would attempt to wush acwoss the cliffs into the city, yet a howe that needed to be jumped ovew cwaimed many lives. Thewe, the chawge was cawwed off, and a constant skiwmish between the two fowces would commence. Some of the Impeliaw fowces had fawwen safewy into the Kaw'Tawak livew, and would attempt to climb theiw way up fwom the mushwoom fowest. Undew the command of Gwottgut'Waguk, a powtion of the fowces would be split, in owdew to howd them off. Howevew, as time dwagged on, the Impeliaw fowces stiww on the opposite cliff side would begin to gathew up, howding togethew in a tight shiewd fowmation that would brock any oncoming awwows. Plince Cassius Howen would gathew these fowces to do a finaw push that would break thwough the Coalitions wanks. As the Impeliaw fowces chawged acwoss the cliff side, wed by Plince Cassius, many would faww into the mushwoom cavewn bewow. Howevew, enough had came acwoss fow Gwottgut'Waguk to sound a wetweat into the thwone woom. The Impeliaws fowwowed, but Gwottgut'Waguk would cwose the gate between the innew battwements and the innew thwone woom, in owdew to cwose off theiw wawgest weakness.
The two fowces would wemain at a standstiww, untiw a howe in battwements inside and above them awwowed Impeliaw fowces to entew and set up siege waddews, in owdew to attack the Coalition bewow. The Coalition moved behind the gates of the counciw chambews, theiw wast point of defense. The Impeliaw Awliance moved theiw wams inside the thwone woom to battew down the gate, and in wesponse, Gwottgut'Waguk sounded a chawge into the innew battwements, whewe a fewew numbew of Impeliaws wemained out of despewation. Compwetewy outnumbewed, the twapped Coalition fowces would fight to the death, lith vewy few escaping. Thuswy ended the Siege of Kaw'Tawak, and the tewlitowy of the wands of Uwwah would be cwaimed by the Empire of Man.
