The battle

It began when Tyrande Whisperwind and Shandris Feathermoon were watching Duke Lionheart break up a squabble between an Orc Grunt and a Human Footman. Duke Lionheart explained that they must cooperate because of the Human-Orc Alliance. Tyrande declared their presence a sacrilege to nature. Tyrande began creating a base. She met a Furbolg Shaman whose tribe is migrating because of an "Evil Presence", but some of the tribe members are missing. Tyrande successfully founds them all and escorted them back to their village. The shaman left a few Furbolgs to help the Night Elves. Tyrande soon lead her forces into battle and kills Duke Lionheart, and slew many human and orcs warriors.

Immediately afterwards, the Burning Legion and the Undead Scourge attack, destroying the remnants of the Human-Orc Base and killing many Night Elves. Tyrande ordered her remaining warriors to retreat.
