Description
Aels, Dwarven Bronze Age -Late Neolithic, Early Elfic Age-

a band of Proto-Orcs warriors -ancestors of the later, historical Porforian green orcs-, armed with wooden clubs, wooden spears with the tips harded by fire and stone weapons, attack a dwarven settlement:

For the nomadic orcish bands of hunter-gatherers in the stone age, the settlements of elves and dwarves were both a source of food -the cattle and grains keep by the elves and dwarves that had domesticated agriculture and animals-, but specially, dwarven settlements where specially an interesting target for the orc bands, as while the elves only were using mostly polished stone tools and some scarce copper items, the dwarves had been venturing further and further into the use of Bronze.

By then, as agriculture and cattle rising, working metal was a mystery for the ancestors of the orcs, so they raided dwarven settlements with the special interest of adquiring bronze tools and weapons, which will be a symbol of distintion among the proto-orc warriors.

Precisely against such raids, will be one of the causes why the dwarven settlements of that day and age shifted from being build mostly as a defense against predators and to keep the domestic animals within the walls, to more formidable defensive instalations, beginning to build the dwarves series of fortifications.
