It is at last time.

In the depths of the history of the Official Server, Bubbaret the Founder ruled the glorious Gundabad faction from his fortress on the mountain. He was renowned far and wide as a killer, who took out the best warriors with ease. But all the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth joined, and in a battle at Mount Gundabad took his forteess and killed him and his followers. Durin's City was founded, and many thought Gundabad dead forever.

But it was not so. Much later, after the glorious campaigns of Gombar the Black, Iluvatars_Bane took the throne of Gundabad in Gombar's mysterious absence. He deemed that the time was ripe, and that his strength was sufficient. He took most of the hordes of Gundabad and marched north to their once-capital, to take it from the dwarves once and for all.

Iluvatars led several scouting attacks on the city when least expected, breaking in and slaughtering whole armies of dwarves, and then leaving before the rest knew what was happening. Then he prepared his armies, and charged the great city of Durin. Almost all the dwarves died, and those that didn't fled with their king to an outpost at the source of a tributary to the Anduin. Iluvatars was victorious, and those orcs that survived took hold in Mount Gundabad. Iluvatars began his efforts to restore the Mountain to its past glory.

A week later, a messenger came unlooked-for from Caradhras. He announced the miraculous return of Gombar the Black, who had heard of Iluvatars's conquests and extended an offer. They would dissolve the Gundabad monarchy, and would rule side by side as war chiefs of their lands. Iluvatars agreed, and a new age started.

Much later, Gundabad was at its height. There were now five war chiefs, and massive armies of orcs at their call. They looked towards the new Durin's City with disdain.

So Iluvatars and Grievous1138, war chief of the Moria Orcs, joined their forces and attacked. Arrows flew, and bombs were lit. Holes were blasted in the city gate, and the dam was broken, flooding the lower levels, the abyss, and the shrine to Durin, and killing half the armies of the dwarves. The orcs charged into the city, and killed everyone, including the king, Iwellner.

Now Gundabad is giving Durin's City a new purpose, and the armies of the orc-lords continue to swell.
