The Forest Inteception was an Orenian strategy aimed to siphon off travel and supplies going in and out of the roads towards the Kingdom of Norland. Before the battle, a mixed force of Imperial officers and Metinan mercenaries stationed themselves within the maple forests near the Norlandic road. Two Norlandic guards attempted to interfere, in which they were quickly deposed of, while an orc and an armored woman were swiftly let through. As the citizens of Norland scrambled, a force of 2400 Norlandic soldiers marched towards the Imperial forces. The battle ensued for some days while the roads toward Norland were closed, resulting in the loss of 900 Norlandic soldiers, including a prominent official, versus 400 dead Imperial forces. Though the Orenian forces were routed from Norlandic soil and fled back to Providence.
