Gragnar's Rebellion

Gragnar's Rebellion was a brief conflict between the Kingdom of Stormwind, Deadwind Ogres, and Gragnar's Rebels. After an inter-clan feud erupted in Deadwind Pass, the otherwise reclusive Deadwind Ogres expanded their borders in conflict. It resulted in small assaults from Gragnar's Rebels in Emerglade (a March of the Kingdom of Stormwind), and blocked trade routes to South-Eastern outposts.

Separation of Kin and the Incursion of Emerglade
The cause of the Deadwind Ogres feud was a disagreement between the Ogre "King" Ravak and the Ogre Magi Gragnar. Gragnar and his followers believed the "glorious beacon" (Karazhan) demanded the clan's worship. Very few Ogres joined Gragnar, but those that did were granted artifacts from the cursed Karazhan. These artifacts gave the Magi serving Gragnar increased power (when they were able to use them).

Gragnar's rebels took the Western end of Deadwind Pass and Ravak held the East (separated by a large canyon running through the region). Gragnar's forces claimed the small Northern tower of Karazhan. His Magi pushed as far as Duskwood, eventually reaching Emerglade, where House Emeritus fell victim to several assaults.

Ninth Division's Response and the Defeat of Gragnar
Marshal Fellinx Emeritus (Margrave of the assaulted region) dispatched three platoons (totaling 300 men) of the Ninth Division of the Stormwind Army to push the Deadwind Clan to their former region and annihilate Gragnar and his rebels.

The Third Platoon (or "Battered Band") was the vanguard against Gragnar's forces. The Fifth and Eighth cleared the path through the region of Deadwind Pass and pushed Ravak's forces South.

After a failed attempt by the Eighth Platoon, the a squad within the Third was then tasked with capturing or killing Gragnar in his tower near Karazhan. In the second day of conflict, Gragnar was killed by the Third. His decapitated head was used to barter a ceasefire between Stormwind and the Deadwind Clan. During a hostile negotiation between Ravak and Knight-Captain Eredrin Brosnon, Ravak was slain. No ceasefire took place, but the action left the leaderless clan no choice but to return to their original hovel in Deadwind Pass.
