During this three-year conflict, orcish hordes from the south flanked the Grey Mountains and began occupying Etrandish, Dragoci and Lizardman territory.

In Dragoc, the advance of the Orcish troops was halted by Wood Elves fighting guerrilla-style - in Etrand, the same attitude, guerrilla warfare, instead led to the death of civilians who would have otherwise gotten away with being raped or enslaved, culminating in the destruction of Talon and the burning of several villages and hamlets to the ground.

Eventually, the desperate Etrandish - who have already lost two good generals to the invaders - called on Froturn for help. With the help of the High Elves, the Etrandish beat the Orcs in a large battle in which the King of the Orcs, Hri'darh himself lost his life, leading to the Orcish Civil War after the conclusion of the war. The Orcs were forced to retreat to their lands, and for several decades, neither Dragoc nor Etrand would experience Orcish raids.
