First Feralas Campaign

The First Feralas Campaign was a series of battles and sieges that took place in Feralas pre-Shattering. The conflict was between the Hawktotem Tribe led by Hranu Hawktotem and a Sentinel force led by an Unknown Sentinel General.

Background
The Hawktotem Tribe had just given out their call to arms amongst the Confederation, and were staying at Camp Taurajo when a Mojache messenger ran into camp with a message: The Sentinels were sieging the Camp in order to rid the Horde from Feralas, and needed dire help. With the growing ranks of the Hawktotem, Hranu rallied his Tribe and quickly moved it from the Southern Barrens to the Thousand Needles to Feralas.

Siege of Camp Mojache

The Sentinels had already begun their siege of Camp Mojache. With it surrounding, they were preparing to storm the village and kill the last of the defenders when the Hawktotem rode into combat. The broke the western line on the first night, which delayed the Sentinels for two days. On the second day, a combined Hawktotem and Mojache force broke the siege force and put the Sentinels into retreat.

Battle of the Feralas Trail

Hranu assumed command of the Camp Mojache Braves, and took several when they marched out of camp Mojache and into the forest. Avoid the Grimtotem encampments, the Hawktotem warbands and Sentinel scouting squads made several skirmishes across the forests in order to determine where the major part of the fighting would begin. The Sentinels, being masters of small squad combat, managed to outmaneuver the Hawktotem warbands and thought they were forcing the Hawktotem to fight on the Sentinel's terms.

The Hawktotem managed to gain the upper hand and decisively defeated the Sentinel forces with hit-and-run tactics.

Siege of Feathermoon Stronghold

The Hawktotem pressed their advantage and began sieging Feathermoon Stronghold, the main Night Elf bastion in the region. Joined by new allies, the Garrosh'kar Skullcleavers, an Orc pro-Garrosh raiding group, the Hawktotem broke into the Stronghold and killed the Sentinel General. It was here, when the Garrosh'kar and main Hawktotem forces fell back, that Hranu and his Honor Guard slaughtered innocent women and children.

End Result
The end results of the campaign caused major setbacks to the Sentinels in southern Kalimdor. Their main stronghold was badly beaten, and the Feralas Trail (from Thousand Needles to Desolace) was safe for Horde travellers to walk on, without fear of Alliance ambushes.

The slaughter of innocents by Hranu and his Honor Guard managed to land the Hawktotem in the annals of the Alliance. Citizens across Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms heard of the slaughter, and it became the Hawktotem's most legendary story told by the Alliance.
