The Battle for Darrowshire

The battle of Darrowshire took place in the middle of the Third War, when the scourge forces rampaged across Lordaeron. Darrowshire was cut of from the bulk of the Allience forces. But the town was bolstered by a company of troops; a contingent of paladins if the Silver Hand, and a staunch group of local militia led by captain Joseph Redpath.

The Scourge's first assaults on Darrowshire where sparse. Small groups of maruading skeletons and corpses wandered the outskirts of of the village and where repelled. But the Sourge where not balked by the defenders tenacity, and responded in kind; soon after the first wave of attacks, the second wave emerged. Champion ghouls, servants of the ghoul lord Horgus screamed down from the hills and clashed with beleagered darrowshire defenders.

The defenders weakened, but where relieved by Paladins, desciples of the Silver Hand. Their leader, Davil Crokford, was a native of Darrowshire. He brought his followers to the village when he heard of the inpending attack, and together with the defenders they held back the servants of Horgus.

When Horgus himself entered the battle, he met with Davil. For many minutes they fought and Davil eventually prevaled. But he suffered a mortal wound, and died soon after defeating the ghoul lord.
