The Siege of Small Fort was the second major battle between the Kingdom of Norland and Grand Kingdom of Urguan during the War of Grudges. The battle resulted in a decisive Urguani victory.

Prelude

After the decisive victory at the Battle of Blodskogr, the Urguani armies pursued the fleeing Norlandic forces and found them at a small fortress bordering the Norlandic capital of The Krag. The Grand King, knowing that he would have to siege the fortress if he were to capture the Norlandic capital, set a perimeter around the fortress and began making the necessary preparations for the siege.

Battle

The battle was a clear victory for the dwarven forces, who massively outnumbered the Norlandic defenders.

Aftermath

With the fall of the fort, the Urguani troops moved on to besiege The Krag, the capital of Norland and in its final fortress. With the Norlanders retreating to their last stand, the Kingdom's fate lay in the balance.
