The Almaris Coalition War, also called the Horde-Urguani War or the War of dwarven grudges, is a conflict between the Northern Almaris Treaty Organziation spearheaded by Urguan against The Horde and its allies. The conflict started when Orcs from the Horde allegedly killed a Dwarf from the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. The conflict quickly spiralled into becoming a coalition war as both sides rapidly called in their allies and sought new ones.

Prelude

During the early hours of The Amber Cold, 82 S.A. A Dwarf went to the capital of the Horde, Krugmar, and, challenged an Olog to an Honour Duel. However, he was defeated and killed. Word of this quickly spread and in response the Dwarves of Urguan, understanding the killing to be unjust, marched upon the Krugmar, vassals and Malinorian allies in tow, led personally by 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. 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 for execution, however they stated that they could not afford to pay the 11,000 mina sum demanded. In response, as one of their demands were not met, the King of Urguan declared war, and his host met that of the Orcs in battle before the gates of Krugmar in the first skirmish of the war.

Timeline

• 82nd year of the Second Age
  • Following an honor duel between an Olog and a Dwarf of Urguan, the Grand Kingdom of Urguan was led to believe that the Dwarf had been killed in cold blood by the Horde
  • In response to allegedly having their citizens killed by the Horde, the Grand Kingdom of Urguan rallied roughly 2,700 men and marched towards the Horde's capital. Upon arriving, the Grand Kingdom issued several demands to The Horde.
  • The Horde accepts all demands except the demand for reparations, as the Horde was unable to afford the cost at the time. This angered the Urguani party, and they charged the Horde's delegation and sparked the Charge of Iron. The battle resulted in a stalemate as the delegation fled to the safety of the Horde's walls.
  • The next month during The Deep Cold, The Grand King of Urguan released a series of demands to The Horde. These demands included: expelling the Azdrazi from the domain of the Horde, and, destroy the Pirate Cove. Handing over the orcs who killed Balor Ireheart.
