The Almaris Coalition War, also called the Horde-Urguani War or the War of Dwarven Grudges, is an international conflict between the Eastern Almaris Treaty Organization against The United Sovereign States of Almaris. The conflict started when Orcs from the Horde allegedly killed a Dwarf from the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and the Orcs failed to meet the demands of the Dwarves, and escalated when both sides began calling in allies, notably the Orenian agreement with the Orcs, and Norland turning its back on its long time allies to join with the Orenians.

Prelude

During the early hours of The Amber Cold, 82 S.A. A Drawf went to the capital of the Horde, Krugmar, and, challenged an Olog to an Honor Duel. However, he was defeated and killed. Word of this quickly spread. The Dwarves of Urguan were angry about this death, calling it "Unjust" well a rumor started to spread about the orcs having raided the capital, in response to all this, the dwarfs along with their vassals, and select members from Malin'or march on the orcish capital of Krugmar. In the rally of dwarves was the Grand King of Urguan and Prince Royarc of Elvenesse. Waiting for them at the gates of Krugmar was the Targoth of the Horde, Zahgorim, and, the Dominus of The Horde Ixula'Akaal. At first, the Orcs agreed to the demands of removing all Azdrazi from The Horde, Paying 11,000 mina, and, handing over the orcs who killed the dwarves. The orcs were promptly handed over to the dwarves for execution. However soon the orcs said they could not pay the 11,000 mina leading the King of Urguan to declare war, and his host met that of the Orcs in battle before the gates of Krugmar in the first skirmish of the war.
