Titus' Last Stand

If you look back as far as recorded history goes, in the beginning you can find Titus' Last Stand. One of the most famous battles that ever occurred in the mortal plane. It took place at the Stranded Mountain, at the gates of Moradinia.

It was a stormy day in the year **** when the orcs showed up on Titus' door, they showed up by the thousands. Titus the King of Moradinia and all of the northern Dwarves, rallied his army to defend his city from the army of orcs. The orcs showed up seeking the treasure that the dwarves kept within the mountain.

The battle lasted for months, the Dwarves were strong, but time soon ran out. Unable to resupply Titus' and his army began to grow weak. Then one night the orcs breached the gate, pouring into Moradinia like a burst damn, by the hundreds.

Titus' and his army fought the orcs down to the last dwarf. No one knew when or where Titus fell in the mountain. The few that managed to survive and escape claim they last saw Titus surrounded by orcs ready to meet his fate. They say even in the moments before he died he boast a might cry, and with not a hint of fear charged into the crowd of enemies.

Moradina fell that day. Titus' story lives on in the stories of Dwarves. I reminder to all dwarves the meaning of courage.

(Even in death there is victory)
