[QUOTE="wlmartin, post: 6360645, member: 6679380"] My thinking is that if you think about a continent like North America. (not nessecarily to scale!!!) Dorfs make up the east (where their mountains are) and poking out into the midwest Elves are all over including the west The invasion makes landfall in the west Much like any invading army through history, they make great immediate success at the beachhead and as they expand onwards, they run out of puff I am basing the invasion model on a powerful empire but it still has limitations on its resources. Its most likely a similar old world vs new world scenario, otherwise I could imagine them running into each other before. So travel between the old and new lands is weeks at a time. So by the time the invasion forces meet the dwarves, the combination of distance, limited resources and strength of the dwarves will result in a stand-off. Since the point the dwarves meet the invaders will be in virgin territory for them (their own expansion) it will be a case of the weakest part of their empires meeting. This will then serve to create a boundary and all further reinforcements to the invading force will concentrate on building a power centre in the lands they control and wiping out the elves.
