The Siege of Kal'Urguan (Dwarven: Krazdan eron Kal'Urguan) was a three month-long siege during the Great War of Aegis, led by orcish forces commanded by Rex Mogroka'Gorkil, alongside his allies in the Wardens of the Holy Princedom of Malinor, and the Sariants of the Teutonic Order. The dwarven defenders were commanded by Grand King Thorik Braveaxe, alongside his Grand Councilors, Valen Blackaxe and Karl Frostbeard. The battle marked the beginning of the Great War, sparking open conflict after years of rising tensions between the two power blocs. The siege was broken after a flanking hammer and anvil charge, led by Lord High Constable Felix Farnsworth, crashed into the back of orcish forces, allowing the Urguanites and Orenians to surround their enemy within the outer walls of Kal'Urguan, forcing the survivors into retreat.
