For generations orcs and elves have met and clashed in combat over territory and the orcs desire to merely seek war for its own sake. The elves had staunch defences and their roaming patrols through the forest ensured that a major orc assault was going to have a very difficult time. As such the Orcs took to a change of tactics, rather than employing their numbers and their ability to battle things out, they sought out spell casting and tasked their shamans with a great task. The task was not to take land but to take captives. The results were more than suprising.
The first time the shaman had tried it, their combined might summoned an entire village, they had only expected a few and instead got alot, alot of orc and elven blood was spilt that day, the orcs however were ready for the next time. Prepared with that was to come the next test was a success, elven soldiers were cut down before they had the chance to realise what magic had been cast to summon them to the orcs and those who were unarmed put to work. Women given to the orcs as entertainment and men to work the forges and mine for ore. Children too were seperated by such distinction, most young ones however often perished due to the harsh nature of the Orcish Culture.
Again it was time to try the spell out once more. With the next village on the list taken it would leave a direct path to the Capital of the elves and with little defense beside roaming patrols without the aid of supply lines which the towns rendered empty would supply. The spell was a complex ritual requiring multiple orc shaman. The inhabitants of a certain area of land were instantly teleported from where they were in the town and summoned before the shaman, thousands of orcish troops armed for war, waiting for the disorientated elves so they could strike down their protectors and take their citizens for slavery.
