The Shillian Story
While most of their brethren were driven up the mountain and towards the volcano, four tribes of orcs managed to escape and prepared to attack the human forces from behind. Silently, we raised our army and attacked the orcs before they were ready and the battle soon turned into a rout. We pursued them across the land and eventually to the beach. They captured several fishing boats, burning those they could not steal, and sailed into the ocean.
As luck would have it, they found an island in the middle of the ocean. Whether it was inhabited when they arrived, we do not know. But orcs are the only things that live there now. Living quietly, for orcs, they plotted their revenge on all elves. They sunk all vessels that came too close to their island and made small raids on the human docks, but did little damage.
After the Warlock destroyed the docks and the rogue guard captured the mermaid, the humans could no longer sail the ocean, so the orcs stopped raiding and started building for a final, vicious, assault. When it comes, I fear the humans will not be able to hold them back. However, they may ignore the human town altogether and come directly for us and the Yggdrasil. And if they do, we shall be sorely pressed. If the humans or dwarves were attacked, I doubt we could spare even one patrol to assist them.
We should have sailed out and destroyed them ourselves long ago, but we did not believe the loss of Elvin life necessary to create a foothold on the beaches to be worthwhile. If they attack now, our losses, in life and despoiled land, may be much greater.
