Origin

Da Kaladokvo'Barimmarr

The Architect’s Collective of Urguan, founded and chartered in the year 256 of the second age, was established to address the ever-present issue of inexperienced builders seeking to stake their own claim on the land and permanently change the landscape around our home. This guild is designed as both a safeguard and a solution to that issue, providing both a guard against inexperienced hands and a tool to be placed into the very same.

Rankings

The Council of Architects
Composed of a small troupe of well-established builders, the council will take on all core responsibilities of the guild, including the following:
Receiving and completing commissions from external clientele, completing major orders from the state and other affiliated parties, training and certifying new and minor builders, and judging the contents of builds by lesser builders, as well as the uninitiated.

The Secretary

While technically the guild lord, this role is simply used for administrative purposes, serving as a mediator and public face for the otherwise busy members, doling out commissions and tasks as the need arises, as well as meeting with the clientele initially.

The Builders

The heart and soul of the guild, these lower circle builders will take on the majority of the minor orders, and should their effort be seen, even ascend to the council, and continue the Guild’s efforts from above.

Responsibilities

As a guild, the primary and penultimate task of the guild is to ensure that dwarven architecture is held up to the highest of standards.

To ensure this, proven guild members, and especially council members, have the final say in regards to completion and execution of a project. 

Non-members, residing in Urguan, are to be redirected toward the guild's members and commissary boxes. Simple renovation and rearrangement may be done by trusted non-members, or on temporary permission, but anything larger must be overseen or committed by a member of the guild unless it is by a member of the King’s council or the Urguan leadership. 

Pricing

With vastly different projects between different minds and needs, pricing will vary between each independent builder, though it is expected to be charged more by a council member.

By default, pricing will vary on the build, though the base fee will range from 20 mina for minor, decorative builds, and 50 mina for normal to major operational builds, and finally, 300 mina for a vassal-sized build and beyond. This is the Base price, applied by the state, and not represented by the individually hired builder. 

State builds waive this fee, and builders are compensated appropriately.

Joining

Potential members must seek out and organize a trialing appointment with the secretary, and for a small fee of 10 mina,  they will then be assigned and gauged by a current member of the council. After which, their skill will be declared, and additional training offered, should any of the council members have time. If the potential builder is deemed complete in their studies and skills, their certificate of membership will be assigned, and they may begin completing commissions as offered.

Philosophy
ᛁ ᚠᚢᚲᚴᛁᚾᚷ ᚺᚨᛏᛖ ᛞᚨᚱᚴᛋᛈᚨᚹᚾ

Dungrimm’s Elite are a set of Urguani templars focused on being the strongest a dwarf could be, to be the bulwark on the frontlines of the Urguani forces.

Formed by Sigrun ‘Undeadslayer’ Stonehammer, they are a small band of four dwarves blessed by the servant of Dungrimm, Malchediael. To die in the fight and sacrifice oneself for the greater good of the dwarven race is the most glorious way to go. Blessed by the Masked Lord and led by his hero, they are the dwarves to never shy away from a fight.

Dungrimm’s elite are focused on courage and sacrifice first and foremost, and are encouraged to speak up against their leader should they question his judgement. The ultimate goal in service to Dungrimm is to rid the world of all the filth that denies him, to cleanse the darkspawn from Yemekar’s world.

Utilizing Malchediael’s gifts for the greater good of Urguan, these dwarves symbolize the unending loyalty, valour and sacrifice to the Grand Kingdom to keep all dwarven lives safe from the clutches of Khorvad and his agents.



Requirements
ᛟᚾᛚᚤ ᛏᚺᛖ ᛖᛚᛁᛏᛖ

The small group of Dungrimm’s Elite are handpicked by the current captain of the force, but the requirements are as follows:

Membership of The Kirkja Dverga
Currently serving in the Legion of Urguan or having held the title of Pridebearer
Total unending loyalty to Urguan
To be courageous
To take the oath of the immovable mountain
To be dwarven

These requirements are in place to ensure those that are picked are ready for the task.

The Oath of the Immovable Mountain
ᛗᚨᚴᛖ ᛋᚢᚱᛖ ᚤᛟᚢ'ᚱᛖ ᚠᛁᚱᛖ

The following oath must be made in front of Dungrimm’s shrine.

“I, Name solemnly swear to uphold all of Dungrimm’s ideals in the face of the most perilous of dangers. No dwarf shall have to die as long as I fight with them. Blessed by the servant of Dungrimm I shall stand as the mightiest bulwark in the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, to stand as immovable as the greatest of mountains in the fight against Khorvad.”

This oath details the main goals and philosophy of those who take this unending duty upon oneself, and notes their devotion to Dungrimm.



The Grave Warden
ᛏᚺᛖ ᚱᚨᚾᚴᛋ ᛚᚨᛞᛋ

Dungrimm’s elite is a simply structured force, with only three ranks. The Captain who serves until death or retirement. The members of Dungrimm’s Elite and one position permanently held by Angr Stonehammer posthumously.

Angr Stonehammer is to be granted the rank of Grave Warden for as long as his memory remains.

While the rank of Grave Warden serves no purpose beyond honoring Angr’s memory as stated prior, it does persist to carry his philosophy into the modern age. As stated in the core tenets of the Brathmordakin by The Kirkja Dverga, Yemekar’s Balance refers to the natural order as it was designed by the Forgefather, death being part of that natural order. Being Dungrimm’s domain, the Brathmordakin employs the Aenguls as a corrective force for those who would unnaturally extend or distort their lives and the lives of others under the influence of Daemons, the agents of Khorvad. Xan was the sunlight to Dungrimm’s moonlight, and Malchediael is the courage behind Dungrimm’s might. Simply put, those who wield the influence of an Aengul become the new natural death for those who would refuse to die, restoring Yemekar’s Balance as emissaries of the Masked Lord.



 

Dungrimm’s Elite
ᛒᛁᚷ ᛗᚨᚾ

The members of Dungrimm’s elite are led by one captain, and he functions as their leader in combat and he shall come up with ways for the members to aid Urguan. He shall also be their teacher in the ways of Templar.

In combat he functions as their leader, yet by the degree of the courageous the members of Dungrimm’s elite are expected to stand against him should they disagree with his judgements in or outside of combat. The dispute is to be settled in any way the members deem fit.

Equipped with both the boons of Templarism and the greatest training, armour and equipment available to dwarven hands fueled by the collective hoards of the members the members of Dungrimm’s Elite prove why they are handpicked by the Captain. These dwarves are to show why they are the elite.

The first members of Dungrimm’s Elite are:

Hero of Dungrimm Sigrun ‘Undeadslayer’ Stonehammer, the Captain.
Former Grand Marshal Morroick Starbreaker.
Grand Marshal Belegar Grandaxe.



Malchediael
ᚹᚺᚨᛏ ᛞᛟ ᚹᛖ ᛏᚺᛁᚾᚴ ᛟᚠ ᚺᛁᛗ

Aenguls are a widely discussed and debated topic in the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, yet he is to be viewed as a benevolent being.

Yemekar created all, including the Aenguls. It is my personal belief that Malchediael is a servant of Dungrimm, who blesses us with ways to rid the world of the sickly plague of Khorvad. He is a symbol of courage, permanently holding back otherworldly beings from tainting that which Yemekar created.

As such, he is to be treated as a fellow warrior of Dungrimm, not as a god. The Brathmordakin are the only true gods and as such we do not worship Malchediael, but utilize the tools he gives us to the best degree.

“Fellow Khazadmar- A Great Wrong has befallen our kin. Demons plight our lands, and the Dammaz Kron is filled with their vile atrocities… And the debt stands with them! So, my kin- Take up your axes, and show these Neverborn the Might of Kal’Evraal! And if our gods are willing, tonight we will strike a hundred grudges from the Great Book.” - Grand King Jorvin Kazrinsson ‘Aenguldreng’ of Clan Starbreaker, prior to the Battle of the Korvassa

The Reckoner’s Guild
ᛒᚨᚱᛁᛗᛗᚨᚱ-ᚹᛖᚾᚷᚱᛃᚾᚱᚢᛗᛗᛟᛋ

Few records remain from the first three ages of Dwarfen history, of Stone, Gold, and Iron, for much knowledge was lost in the Age of Blood that followed them, and the tumultuous rise and fall of the Ironborn Empire, beyond that which is preserved in the inner chambers of the Temple of the Brathmordakin, there is a single record in the possession of the Grand Kingdom dating back to the time of Urguan Silverbeard, in the Dwarfen tongue it is called the Dammaz Kron, the Book of Grudges. This archaic tome is a single book, bound in heavy iron chains, with runes etched upon its binding dating back to the time of the First King, indestructible and ever expanding to the amount of pages necessary, the Dammaz Kron has survived four Grand Kingdoms, two Empires, two centuries-long civil wars, and fifty kings. Within this ancient ledger is a record of every wrong committed against the Dwarfen people from the first, written by Urguan Silverbeard against Iblees himself for the mutation and cursing of his brothers. Beyond the details of the mighty tallies themselves, it provides some minimal, but invaluable insight into the Dwarfs of ages passed, of their priorities, and their feuds.

The status of the modern Book has been a matter of some contention, for in the fall of the Third Grand Kingdom, several copies were made and distributed around the various Dwarfen holds, all claiming to be the original Dammaz Kron, what sets these copies apart from the original however, is that even now, long after the dissipation of all but the strongest Runic Magics from the world, the Dammaz Kron remains indestructible, and ever-expanding. Custodianship of the Dammaz Kron has, over the last three centuries, been disputed between the Grand King, the High Prophet, and the (now defunct) High Remembrancer, a long-standing dispute which itself has become a point of grudges in the past. Because of the fluctuation of power and authority between the Grand Kingdom and the Dwarfen Clergy over the years, and the disbanding of the Remembrancer guild a half-century ago, it has been deemed necessary for a semi-independent organization to be formed with the purpose of recording, cataloging, and at times fulfilling the grudges within the Dammaz Kron. This organization, formed by former Grand King, Jorvin Starbreaker, with support of the (as of writing) current Grand King, Garedyn Mossborn, is to be called Barimmar Vengrynrummos, the Guild of Reckoners, or translated literally, the Guild of Justice-Doers.

Grudgelore, however, is not the only responsibility of the Reckoner’s Guild, as the Reckoners are to serve as the spiritual successors of two organizations that came before them, the Urguanite Courts, over which Reckoners of seniority are charged with presiding over, and ensuring that justice and, more importantly honor is upheld therein, but also the Remembrancer Order, which was once comprised of Urguan’s wisest scholars, for it is reasoned, rightfully so, that the office of Justicar has become politicized, and that only those wisedwarfs whose primary concern is the preservation of Dwarfen history and honor, should be trusted with with the responsibility of upholding the rule of law.

Duties
ᚨᚾᚨᚱᚨᚨᚾᛗᚨᚱ

LAW | Reckoners are, to grossly simplify, a combination of judge, diplomat, historian, and, when necessary, manhunter. A Reckoner is nominally under the authority of the Grand King, but in all actuality, a Reckoner’s first and foremost duty is to the Dammaz Kron, and to see justice done. The law is upheld and followed, save for those instances in which it is more honorable in the breaking than not. To judge these matters is the task of a Reckoner, and to deliver suitable punishments if dishonor is done to clan, kith, or king. In the most grievous of situations, a Reckoner can compel (but never force) a guilty Dwarf to assume a Slayer’s Oath- To forsake their honors and offices, and pursue a death in battle so their honor might be redeemed in death. If the law was broken honorably in such cases as a Legionnaire defying dishonorable orders, or the theft of a previously-stolen relic, a Reckoner may choose to err on the side of partial- Though not total leniency.
 

ARBITRATION AND DIPLOMACY | Reckoners may also, during times of kinstrife, serve as diplomats between feuding clans or Dwarfen realms, acting as a neutral party as to prevent conflict between Urguan’s children, and negotiate the settlement of grudges if grudges have been leveled against each other. In noting this, Reckoners are discouraged, though not outright forbidden from ruling in situations regarding their own clans, due to the inherent biases. Because of this duty, a Reckoner is expected to be level-headed (at least when dealing with their fellow Khazadmar) and sympathetic.

LAWKEEPING AND SECURITY | Despite this, a Reckoner is not a peaceful profession, no Dwarf, it is said, might deliver a sentence they are unwilling to carry out, because of this, Reckoners are their own executioners, and when one flees a court of justice, it is expected of the Reckoners, along with the Legion, to be the ones to drag them back, kicking, screaming, and bloody if need be. Reckoners are expected to be as proficient with axe and sword as they are with word and quill, and because of this, Reckoners who have not previously served in the Legion of Urguan are put through vigorous martial training. Finally, when a grudge is issued that can only be settled through blood, the wronged party may call upon the assistance of the Reckoners to carry out the task, though this is not done freely, unless no-one else is capable of settling the grudge.

GRUDGELORE AND GRUDGEKEEPING | Reckoners are the guards and scribes of the Great Book of Grudges, and it is the duty of a Reckoner to record the slights within the Great Book, and to ensure their veracity before issuing them. It is also the duty of a Reckoner to learn and teach proper etiquette and procedure regarding the issuance of Grudges and the practice of Grudging.

SCHOLARSHIP AND LORE | Reckoners are, in some sense, the spiritual successors to the Guild of Remembrance, albeit having taken on a harsher role. Reckoners are tasked with ensuring the culture and history of the Grand Kingdom is preserved so, in the event of another cataclysm in the vein of the War of the Beards, or the reign of the Ironborn, not all culture will remain lost. History must be taught as well as cataloged, so that the plague of ignorance so common among Greenbeards may be at last healed. The Old Ways are to be preserved and cherished, and contradiction of them harshly reprimanded. A Reckoner must be a harsh teacher and a studious learner, elsewise their lessons will be forgotten.

Organization
ᛒᚨᚱᛁᛗᛗᚨᚱᚱ

Like any other Dwarfen guild or organization, the Guild of Reckoners has a clear hierarchy with increasing responsibilities, and few rewards for carrying them out. It is known that in the eyes of Yemekar, hard work and dedication- And eventually, mastery of any given task is its own reward. Reckoners procure their own equipment, and do not possess a uniform, though Reckoners are given amulets fashioned after the Dammaz Kron as symbols of office, and will occasionally enscroll grudges meaningful to them upon their weapons and armor, or otherwise tattoo the grudge somewhere upon their body in Dwarfen script. Despite being tied closely to the government of Urguan via the courts, an individual does not necessarily need to be a citizen of Urguan to be a Reckoner, only a full-blooded Dwarf that has not been declared an outlaw. Conviction of the crimes of Tagum, slavery, fraud, subversion of justice, or perjury shall result in an immediate and permanent expulsion from the Guild, while any other crime committed also results in expulsion, re-entry may be discussed at a later date.

The High Reckoner | The Guildmaster, who directs and organizes the goings-on of the Guild, and acts as the Custodian of the Great Book of Grudges, as well as the battlefield-commander of the guild. The High Reckoner is chosen by the previous High Reckoner, or, if the previous High Reckoner failed to appoint one, general consensus among the Guild, as well as writ from the Grand King. The High Reckoner may be removed by a vote among the guild, or among the leaders of the Clans of Urguan, with the Grand King serving as the vote-counter. The High Reckoner may, if deemed necessary, declare a ‘Reckoning’ against any target.

Reckoner Agent | The bulk of the guild. Agents of the Reckoners guild are the frontline, and are expected to be seasoned warriors, and to possess a keen understanding of Grudgelore and Dwarven History. A Reckoner-Agent may serve as a judge during trials, or, if requested, serve as prosecution or defense, should it be necessary. Reckoner agents are encouraged to take apprentices among the Scribes, and train them so that they too may become Agents of the Reckoners Guild.

Reckoner Scribe | The entry-level of the Guild, Reckoner scribes are, as the name implies, scribes and clerks, updating the guild’s records at the behest of the High Reckoner, and during times of conflict, maintaining the arms and armor of Reckoner Agents. To become a scribe, one must pass an interview with the High Reckoner, or, if he is unavailable, request to be interviewed by an Agent. Scribes who apprentice underneath individual agents are referred to as Apprentices, rather than Scribes, and are promoted to Agent after passing an exam or quest at the behest of the High Reckoner.

Reckoning
ᛒᚨᚲᚨᛉᚨᚲ-ᚹᛖᚾᚷᚱᛃᚾ

When the Dwarfish people have been so grievously dishonored, and such a monumental wrong has been done onto them, Great-Grudges have been issued by either the Grand King or the High Prophet, and all honorable Dwarfs are called upon to see the grudge settled. A Reckoning is when all peaceable means of settling a grudge fail, it is, essentially, a declaration of war issued by the Guild of Reckoners on behalf of the wronged party, with the only objective being the settlement of the Grudge which has so driven the Dwarfen people to anger. One does not need to be a Reckoner to participate in a Reckoning, for any and all who join in such a righteous conflict are temporarily deputized by the High Reckoner for as long as their ire remains upon the target of the Grudge. A Reckoning is comparable to the human practice of Crusade, albeit with the emphasis placed on honor, rather than religion.

How to join?

If you are interested in becoming a Reckoner, send a letter to the High Reckoner, Jorvin Kazrinsson of Clan Starbreaker (ign, SimplySeo) to request an interview, during which you will either be permitted entry into the guild, or requested to fulfill a certain task before you may do so, or refused.

THE DAWN OF DUNGRIMM’S GYM.

ᚷᛖᛏ ᛋᚹᛟᛚᛖ ᚨᚾᛞ ᛒᚢᚠᚠ

In the past decades I, Sigrun Ireheart have witnessed a drastic change in Urguan, the muscled men of the past have dwindled in number in favour of Voidal Mages and politicians who care not for their body.

These people are all extremely competent in their respective fields and this is not a missive of disrespect, yet it is a missive that I have the solution for these people to improve themselves.

I, Sigrun Ireheart announce the Dawn of Dungrimm’s Gym.



 

[!]
An artistic depiction of the inside of Dungrimm’s gym.

Inside the gym rests alot of equipment to help better one’s body, from strength training with the benchpress, barbells and deadlift to strengthening your core with the pull-up bar. Dungrimm’s gym truly offers everything needed to better yourself physically and mentally. I have even installed a water cooler for the weak, and an ale dispenser for the dwarves.

The best part of Dungrimm’s gym is that it is entirely free for everyone visiting Urguan to use.

Bench press.

To start your bench press journey you shall roll out of 100 using /roll 100.
(Unless voidally weakened, you roll out of 50.)
Whatever you get you add +40, this is how much you bench press in lbs.
(Example, /roll 100. I get 50, I add 40 so i get 90 lbs as my first personal record.)

Once you have a personal record you roll out of your personal record and add 10% of that record.
(For example, I got 90 lbs so I roll out of 90, get 50 and add 9 since 9 is 10% of 90.)

A roleplay example.

Sigrun Ireheart attempts to benchpress more then his previous PR of 270.
xMuted rolled 160 out of 270.
We add 27 since 27 is 10% of 270.

BLOOD

[Ankor’Akvelian warband journeying through the Blackbrook mountain range within the outskirts of Urguan.]

“Harken unto my words kin o’ mine.  Blood o’ mine blood, we will stand stalwart amidst the storm conjured by the servants o’ Khorvad.”

The great deceiver has sown disruption and chaos within our Grand Kingdom;  the eternal legacy of Urguan Silverbeard.  Balance must be maintained within the world and recent events have cast light ‘pon the beards working in the shadows to instil ruin within our borders.  I call upon the scions of Yemekar and Dungrimm’s most intrepid warriors and shieldmaidens to form the Ankor’Akvel.  Those beards that brandish steel under the banners of this royal guild are sworn by blood and oath to protect and serve the realm of Urguan and its peoples. 

Those who bear our colors and don our armaments will be recognized within the Grand Kingdom and treated with the respect that comes with being a warrior of the Brathmordakin.  Blood will be sought only to protect the denizens of the realm and never otherwise.  We shall take up arms against the forces of disunification and undeath as a whole as we enter a new age of our grandiose kingdom.  Such an age may only be crested there upon the conclusion of securing Urguan and her borders and unifying the great clans of yore as they have been for centuries past and centuries to come.

Tenets

• Kinslaying is forbidden unless the beard is traitorous or has a warranted death by the High Courts of Urguan.

• All those within the ranks of the realm guard are sworn to quell the and vanquish the legions of undeath.

• All those within the ranks of the realm guard are meant to uphold their brethren and comrades amidst the fray of battle.  This tenet is never to be broken or they shall be sent to Dungrimm’s fields of torment.  “No Dwed left behind.”

• Speaking with the dead or consulting with demonkin is strictly forbidden.

• The use of sunlit armaments is strictly forbidden as it reflects poorly on Dwarven Steel and its capabilities without relying on boons of false idols.

• The Temple of the Worldmaker is to be patrolled and upkept routinely.

• The path of Yemekar and Dungrimm is to be followed devoutly.  One must be convicted in their faith to the Brathmordakin.

Ranks

Lord-Beard of The Realm Guard  -  The master of the order and its caretaker.  It is up to them to maintain the realm guard and its warriors.

Warden of the Realm Guard  -  The second in command of the order.  Their responsibilities fall in line with that of the Lord-Beard and it is up to them to keep the gears turning.

Scion of the Realm Guard  -  The bulwark of the order.  Each of these beards have completed their trials and have been blooded into the realm guard.

Scribe of the Realm Guard  -  The wisdom of the order.  The voice of reason within the court of Ankor’Akvel and the masters of investigation.

Warlock of the Realm Guard  -  The magick practitioners of the order.  These beards are meant to serve the realm guard in situations regarding the supernatural. 

Additional Information

If you are interested in seeking audience with the Lord-Beard for an opportunity to serve the realm then send a letter to the crown of Urguan and one shall be penned in return shortly.  (Reach out to me on discord @hotbox_monk#8587)

YEMEKAR’S WORKFORCE

The pride of the dwarves has always rested in their labor, that their works and feats are superior to the other races. For it was the spark of inspiration within the soul of Urguan Silverbeard and his descendents that designated the dwarves as chosen of Yemekar, and it is their dedication that maintains that dignity. Labor and craftsmanship are not only a means of revenue, but a means of honor. To this end, YEMEKAR’S WORKFORCE was reforged by a host of Master Craftsmen and Priests from the rusted remnant of the Workers’ Guild. Its mission; To promote worship through honored labor and supreme craftsmanship among Urguan’s Folk.

EMPLOYMENT

To be employed as a member of Yemekar’s Workforce is not only an honor, but the best means of integrating into dwarvern culture.

The system of pay in the Workforce is based entirely on work, and amount of work and consistent quality of work. To this end, it is organized by the labors system. There is a list of labors and corresponding expectations and guidelines to such labors. The more labors a Worker does in a year, the more they are paid, though for the financial stability of the guild there are limits to the amount of labors accepted per year, especially for newer Workers. After great effort and many labors, a Worker may receive promotions to indicate his higher quality of work, and be trusted with a higher labor acceptance than his peers.

However, the primary boon of the Workforce is not its system of payment but its system of instruction. It offers immeasurable investment in one's own skills, for in the workforce one is given connections to greater resources, masterfully talented crafts-folk, opportunities for fame and fortune, the backing of the Grand Kingdom, and the gratitude of Yemekar himself.

A benefit of employment for the security of its workers is a home within the Guild Halls. These homes are modest and simple, though with dedication a worker can upgrade their home or even earn a rank in guild leadership and receive an office.

HIERARCHY

Being an organization dedicated to labor, the ranks of the workforce are primarily based on merit within the individual guilds, though the higher ranks of leadership require a familiarity with the concept of the Rhun and creative capacity.

Yemekar's Pick

Leader of the workforce and obligated with yearly feasts to coordinate the projects of the guild as a whole. Expected to hold a mastery and great wisdom on the many disciplines within the Workforce, and is ultimately a servant to the industry of Urguan’s Folk.

Guildlords

Leader of the respective guilds within the workforce, they hold authority on their own guilds and obligation to manage their activities. Though mainly a management position, Guildmasters are expected to be at the peak of their craft, and to pursue expanding it further so they may better instruct their guilds.

High Overseers

An assistant position to either the Guildmasters or the Yemekar's Pick directly, High Overseers help the core leadership of the guild manage operations of the workforce, as well as serving as optimal replacements for Guildmasters. They are also generally expected to remain true to their title and oversee lessons or labors for the guild alongside the other Overseers.

Overseers

An important rank for the growth of the guild, Overseers are any Worker who has learned enough and displayed the passion to pass their experience to the next generation of workers. Overseers are trusted to run expeditions and events in the name of the guild, and given access to many of its resources and knowledge.

Worker

The core of the workforce and the most valued rank, the average worker is the future of not only the guild but the entirety of Urguan. On their shoulders does the industry and honor of Yemekar fall, and they are entitled to dignity and respect to this reality.

Veterans

The retired workforce, those who may hold ranks of honor and skill within the guilds but are not held to the expectations of the worker nor receive the benefits of full guild membership. Nonetheless, a veteran is always offered a warm welcome back to the workforce.

The go to craft for most dwarves and the core of the Workforce, the Metalworkers Guild of the White Anvil is dedicated towards service in the forge. This includes the crafting of weapons, armors, tools, jewelry, trinkets and whatever brings in inspiration and coin. 

Labors

The labors of the White Anvil are in all matters metalworking, from sword to shield, from ring to trinket, anything wrought from sturdy dwarven metal is considered a labor. Unlike the prospectors which have standardized quotas, in the White Anvil a craftsman is given commissions from the leadership of specific design and purpose. This does not mean to stifle creativity, and upon approval from a Forge Baron or the Forge Lord a smith could craft something of their own interest instead for their labor. These commissions are given on a weekly basis on a commissions board, and any member of the guild can only accept one commission at a time until it is finished. The higher their rank in the guild, the more commissions they are trusted to take. Each commission is paid a standard of 15 minas, though certain more complex or difficult commissions may have a set price higher.

THE TREASURE HOARD

PROSPECTORS GUILD

Perhaps just as much as metallurgy, the dwedmar of Urguan are renowned for their pride in mining the treasures of the deep dark. This is led by the Treasure Hoard, a prospectors’ guild dedicated to Grimdugan and recovering his bounties laid deep within the stone.

Labors

The guild focuses itself on harvesting the valuable ores, jewels and precious stones of established mines and quarries, though just as important are expeditions to the darkness below to uncover new treasures. Members of the guild have options of labors to pay as their quota at the offices, as well if they participate in a successful expedition they are given a bonus based on the quality and quantity of the harvest. The standard labor is a bundle of iron and a quarter bundle coal (64 iron ore, 16 coal), though rare gemstones and minerals such as quietus or titan's eye, or any rare material can count as 6 labors alone.

THE GOLDEN ENCHANTRY

ENCHANTERS GUILD

The Arts Arcane are the broad list of those magical practices of the Void.

The Golden Enchantry is dedicated to that ideal, to create and forge feats of magic and the arcane into dwarven crafts, be it forging a spell or enchantment, to teaching those how to do so, the goal of this guild is simply that, Creation.

Labors

The labors of the Golden Enchantry concern the matters of harnessing arcane power, whether it be the simpler art of evocation or the more complex practices of transfiguration and enchanting. To that end, the practitioners within this guild must all bear some form of magic. Unlike the other guilds, the Golden Enchantry does not have hard-set quotas for what must be created. Rather, they hold two major responsibilities: First, to fulfill commissioned works and create those magical items which are handed down to them by the leadership of the workforce. Second, to provide support to the other guilds by offering arcane improvements to their tools, work processes, or materials. For everytime that a member of the Golden Enchantery does these labors, they will be paid 20-50 minas, depending on the quality and utility of the enchantment.

Hierarchy

Eye of Ogradhad

Lord of The Golden Enchantry, the holder of this title is expected to actively host events, lessons, and research sessions as well as manage the general day to day happenings of the guild, they are expected to be greatly skilled in several arts and proficient in arcane theory and safety practices. Furthermore, it is the duty of the Eye of Ogradhad to delegate lesser works to the lower echelons of the guild, so that each task can be handled adequately by a skilled voidal mage.

High Voidsmith

The inner circle of the guild, High Voidsmiths are to be skilled lordakin in a multitude of arts, expected to teach to those willing and wishing, they are to seek out worthy students and show them the path of knowledge.

This rank is that of those aspiring magi, either those connected to the void yet still untrained, or those unconnected to the void yet still seeking the path of knowledge and its boons. Typically, the Initiates are tasked with helping in mundane acts of research, providing scribe-work, or aiding in the preparation of arcane rituals. Some Initiates might be taken on as an apprentice to a higher ranking member of the guild, but this is not a guarantee. 

OMITHIEL COMPANY

MASONS GUILD

The Dwedmar have long been known for their skill in sturdy construction and stonework. Timeless halls carved and shaped from the earth itself, or towering citadels above the mountain peaks. Masonry, and the art of building as a whole is a vital skill of Yemekar’s People, and thus dedicated to this art is the Omithiel Company, a smaller group within the workforce whose purpose is to educate and refine the art of architecture and masonry.

Labors

As the Omithiel Company is dedicated to the arts of building and masonry, thus are the labors accomplished by this subsect of the workforce pertaining to this. Great reverence is given to the ways of old, and members of the company will spend time researching the traditional forms and techniques of dwarven architecture. Though the Omithiel Company has no set quota or activity requirement, those within its ranks will be responsible for taking building commissions and contracts, along with the higher-ups teaching the lower ranks the tips and tricks of the trade.

The Birth of the Forgeguard

Founded upon the sacred principles of the ancestral order of Dungrimm’s Folk, The Brotherhood of the Forgeguard, established by Angr Ireheart, Torsun Goldhand, and Ulfar Starbreaker, seeks to revive the brotherly teachings of the ancient order to the Grand Kingdom of Urguan once more. Composed of only the best fighters across the continent, this battalion of elite warriors aims to protect the heritage and culture of the dwarves from beasts and unholy creatures of all kinds, sparing no expense to ensure the safety of both the Working Guilds and Urguan itself.

The Brotherhood cares not for your clan nor your race, simply carrying out the work and teachings of Dungrimm as well as making Almaris a safer place for all involved. One could still lead a normal life outside of the Forgeguard, so long as they answer when duty calls. Initially, the concept of Dungrimm’s Folk was pitched by the late Grand King Vorstag Ireheart, who passed proprietary rights of the Folk to his sons upon his untimely death, who then passed leadership to his youngest son, Vorstag II, a dwarf who bore many similarities to his father. The order was later revived by Vulkin Frostbeard many years later, only to fall back into obscurity. Now it has risen once more, repurposed and bathed in aurum as it takes up the mantle of protecting the Grand Kingdom of Urguan once more, though no longer at odds with the legion.

Duties & Purpose

Pilgrimages & Lectures

First and foremost, every two stone months the brotherhood prepares for a pilgrimage out into the vast lands of Almaris. Such ventures are to educate members on the history and traditions surrounding Dungrimm, among them are the Teachings of the Mask as outlined by Da Kirkja Dverga, as well as the information within texts authored by the Prelates of Dungrimm. Members may bring food and water to be blessed, gifts, trophies and weaponry, these may be taken to shrines, temples or even used in the making of a new shrine.

Outside of these religious expeditions, the Forgeguard will be hosting lessons on navigation, mapping, survival, and most importantly, creatures. These lessons are also mandatory, as they can prove to be life or death when out in the field. Lessons outlining creatures may have a live specimen or a corpse used to demonstrate weak points, bodily functions, and uses of harvested parts such as bone or hides. Lessons on navigation and mapping explore topics of terrain traversal and proper usage of equipment such as filtered masks in the swamps. Lessons outlining survival are more practical, taking members into the field to learn firsthand survival techniques.

Hunts

Hunts are a major part of the brotherhood, as descendant races are not the only threat posed to the Kingdom of Urguan or the various Working Guilds. Hunts are undertaken by individuals or groups and range from all types of creatures. These hunts are often carried out in areas of high interest such as the voidal hallow or the freezing tundras of the north, areas which need to be kept safe in order for our workers to meet their quotas and supply the kingdom with all that they can muster. Although uncommon, these hunts can also be carried out on our own turf such as the valleys or deep roads, these are just as important if not even more so as a threat closer to home could risk the lives of the common folk.

When a hunt is undertaken, there is no discrimination. Voidal, Infernal, Ghostly, Afflicted, Azdrazi, Beastly creatures and even Descendants with a bounty are fair game. Our goals are solid and impenetrable as is the earth we were molded from, and with it, our resolve to protect the kingdom from any foe.

Patrols

The Forgeguard maintains their own route through Almaris, as opposed to the Legion which scours our roads for bandits and protects us in times of war. Such routes are patrolled regularly and usually either arrive in, start at or encircle property of the Working Guilds scattered across Almaris. This includes but is not limited to shop stalls, forges, foundries, mining equipment, nodes, mine entrances, ports, trade routes, the homes of important figures such as guild masters and so on. These patrols can also follow imminent threats to the kingdom such as patrolling the voidal hallow, the deep roads and the Rimeveld to ensure there is no buildup or nest forming that could pose even greater danger down the line if unchecked.

Escorts

The brotherhood is responsible for escorting members of the various Working Guilds to their destination. Without thid vital workforce, the kingdom may perish and as such, the Forgeguard with it. Members of the order are expected to accompany, if possible, missions out to nodes where miners may collect them, smiths on their way to cities, or trade routes traveled by the merchants of our grand city. Any of the guilds under Yemekar’s Pick are treated as a high-priority escort whenever they are to leave the city. No matter the number of individuals in need of an escort, the Forgeguard must gather as many of the brotherhood as they can and be prepared with PvP Gear and appropriate CRP weaponry or equipment at all times during these escorts.

Association with the Legion

While the Forgeguard is a separate entity from the Legion, there are still certain measures required in order to keep the Grand Kingdom well oiled. If you aren’t a member of the Legion already, you are not expected to show up to Legion Training of any kind. However, you are expected to rally with the legion in more serious circumstances such as rallies to defend, times of war and rescue raids. The Forgeguard is not obligated to attend raiding parties assaulting other nations not involved in war, nor is it responsible to attend Legion Patrols.

Handling the Dead

As disciples and acolytes of Dungrimm, naturally, we should also strive to do his work. This includes the responsibility of tending to the dead. Should a member encounter a corpse or make one themselves, they are responsible for either burying the body with rites traditional to the descendant’s culture, the rites of Dungrimm, or returning the body to their loved ones so that they may tend to their fallen. In the case of beasts, it should be remembered that these creatures are not to be considered merely as fodder to be slaughtered, instead they should be honored for their lives and respected as a formidable foe that has fallen. After the pickings have been removed by the brotherhood, a trophy of the creature should be displayed proudly as to emphasize their ferocity and tenacity.

Ranks & Trials

Waymaster | ᛋᛁᚱᚲᚲᚱᛟᚾᛟᚲ

The Waymaster is the leader of the brotherhood, a title that is given only by Yemekar’s Pick or the Grand King himself. The Waymaster has the final say when it comes to matters such as dwelling, brotherhood structure, ranking and political affairs. The Waymaster has seen their days of battle and is typically occupied with keeping the brotherhood intact and working in tandem with its environment and allies.

Vigilant Shield | ᛞᛟᚲᚱᚢᛗ ᚲᛚᚨᛞᛁᚨᚾ

The Vigilant Shield is hand picked by the Waymaster to serve as a sort of administrator. In times of absence, the Vigilant Shield takes on the responsibilities of the Waymaster. Outside of these times, they work alongside the Waymaster to lead the brotherhood, often organizing hunts and patrols, managing the planning of future events and the direction that the rest of the brotherhood follows.

Light Bearer | ᚺᛖᚠᛃᚺᛟᚱ ᚹᚨᚱᛖᚲᚨᚾ

The Light Bearer is the title of our active rangers, these are members which have proven reliable time and time again and are thus given the responsibility of spearheading our gatherings. They are responsible for leading our brotherhood out on Patrols, Expeditions, Pilgrimages and so on. The light bearer is to set an example for all ranks beneath it and as such, is a title to be carried with dignity.

Songslayer | ᛋóᚾᚷᚱᛞᚱᛖᚾᚷ

The Songslayer forms the backbone of our brotherhood, drawing inspiration from the prelates of Dungrimm who would give sermons in battle. Songslayers are responsible for shaping our recruits and initiates through the issuing of trials, sparring and hunts. They are devout and fierce fighters who have proven that they can hold their own out in the field.

Oathbound | ᛒᚨᚱᚨᛉᚤᚾᛟ'ᚠᛃᛟᛏᚱᚱ

The Oathbound is the initiate, the flame unkindled and the light but a flicker. They are at the start of their journey within the brotherhood, undertaking the many tasks and trials assigned to them by the Songslayer in an effort to form them into proper Forgeguard.

|>x<| Trials of the Oathbound |>x<|

The Unlit does not stop facing trials once they have been initiated. As Oathbound, you face the many tasks and trials assigned to you by a Songslayer. These trials are not limited, though precautions are taken to ensure that the Oathbound does not die as a result of a task being insurmountable. Such trials focus on the inherent weaknesses of the descendant, such as an Elgi facing a test of strength.

Unlit | ᚢᚾ'ᚹᚨᚱᛖᚲᚨᚾ

The Unlit is the uninitiated, having not yet been branded but still considered an ally or an individual interested in joining the Brotherhood. Before those bearing this title can even swear their oath, they must undertake the sole trial of the Unlit, as described below.

|>x<| Trial of the Unlit |>x<|

Once the Unlit is prepared to undertake their journey and join the brotherhood, they must pass the Trial of the Unlit. At some point in each member’s journey, a lantern is taken into their arsenal either as a chain weapon or a simple tool. Some even opt to make their lanterns into a sort of flail to bash creatures over the head with. These lanterns are of great significance as they are a symbol of our service to Dungrimm, guiding all behind us to safety just as Dungrimm himself shepherds our lost ancestors to the great halls. The Unlit must make their own lantern and carry a flame to the peak of our mountain while weighed down with stones at the ankle. This flame cannot go out, lest they wish to return to the base of the mountain and start again. Once they have reached the top, they may pour their burning oil into the magma beneath the shrine of the world maker, and retrieve their aurum crest placed there prior to the trial. Once they come back down, they are ready for their oath.

|>x<| The Oath of the Forgeguard |>x<|

Once the Trial of the Unlit is passed, the Unlit is brought before Yemekar’s Pick and made to kneel over their lantern while they swear their oath aloud, “As Forgeguard, I am molten, a metal yet to be formed into one of many instruments for our kingdom. I am remade into a holy warrior, bound to the Brathmordakin by oath like a sword to its handle. I serve our Working Guilds, our Clans, and our Grand King with my life alongside my brotherhood. I light the way when all is dark, I guide those behind me.” At this point, they are branded by closing a red hot cuff around their dominant forearm, which is engraved with a hammer and lantern interwoven between lines and runes reading, “ᚨᛁᚾᚨ'ᚲ'ᚨᛉ ᚺᛖᚠᛃᚺᛟᚱ ᛞᚨ ᚨᚲᚺᛟᚱᚨᛚ'ᚷᛖᚱᛟᚾ ᚹᚨᚱᛖᚲᚨᚾ ᛃᛟᛏᚺ ᚲᚺᚱᚢᛗ ᛚᛁᚷᚷᛃᚨ ᚲ ᛟᛉ ᚠᛃᛚᚷᛃᚨ.” Meaning, "I bear the guiding light for all behind me to follow." This essentially tattoos their arm with a scar that cannot be erased.

Ruhn Caller | ᚱᚢᚺᚾ ᛒᛃᛟᚦᚨ

A unique rank not among the primary ones, the Ruhn Caller is the one that herds our golems, be it preparing them for battle or repairing them, these are the golemancers and imperas capable of commanding our heavier weaponry.

Ruhn Golem | ᚱᚢᚺᚾ ᚲᚺᛟᚱᛖᚾ

A unique rank not among the primary ones, the Ruhn Golem is a rank reserved for constructs such as Golems, Animii, and Atronachs. These constructs typically don’t require initiation and are simply referred to as Ruhn Golems.

The great ancestors forging artifacts during their time, the relics of today.

Greetings Khazadmar, I am Ulfar of the Kornazkarumm. Long have the crafters within Kal’Darakaan and the lands of Urguan slumbered, our work fading as the world around us evolves into a newer society of Umros and Elgus. Therefor, it is time we strike the anvil harder, let the ringing of steel and rumbling of stone pierce through our deep dwedic halls to remind Almaris, “The khazadmar kadre will not be forgotten”. Through study of the guild’s past lives, I have made modifications and changes. From the ashes of the old guilds, not just from Almaris and Arcas, but from every barimmar past, rises the guild of the White Anvil. Here, we as dwarves will work together to train and learn, excel at our crafts once more. 

Yrrommar are allowed to join the guild and work alongside the mighty Khazadmar, they will learn our ways and climb our ranks, but are blacklisted from specific rankings that are unique to the dwarves alone. Additionally, Yrrommar can graduate the guild with a form of certificate presenting their rank along with a stamp or sigil of approval from the forgemaster. These certificates are very important in validating the skill of the smith, should they be foreigners. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

Progression System

Those within the guild must learn and adapt in order to achieve greater heights, This takes many years to learn and even more to master, but when they have learned all they have to learn within their rank, they may apply to climb to the next ranking where they will have to go through a set of trials so that we can see what they have learned and if they qualify to ascend.

Chapters

Chapters are considered metallurgy knowledge, Chapter of Iron covering the basic to advanced techniques of Iron smithing to Steel smithing. Chapter of gold being the same, and so on for every other chapter for any metal. As you learn and climb the ranks, you gain access to more chapters which in turn allow you to learn more advanced metals.

Trials

The trials are tasks given to young smiths as they ascend the ranks as their skills increase and their minds widen. The trials are based on the current rank the smith is in to see what they have learned throughout their time within it, made by the Forge Lord or any Forge Hand that hosts the trial. Should they fail, they can retake the trials after a stone week. 

New Forge Lords

Should a Forge Lord step down or die, Yemekar’s pick or the Rhun Prophet will choose from the either the Forge hands or Forge Masters. In the case that the Forge Lord steps down, they may choose to apprentice someone in order to train them into becoming a Forge Lord.

Payment

Every labor will be paid at a minimum of 10 minas, though metalworkers seeking more pay should do orders/commissions which are paid at 20 minas minimum, potentially more if a commission says so. Some commissions will specify specific ranks required to be trusted to take the order. Such commissions will often pay higher.

=-< Yemekar’s Workforce >-=

- The Working Guilds of Kal’Darakaan -

“There is one group of hardworking dwarves that holds the entirety of the Dwarven Grand Kingdom upon their broad shoulders, a group of dwarves that truly know the meaning of “a hard day’s work.” They are the workforce of Yemekar’s Pick, they are those who dedicate their hands to the service of The Maker. Woodcutting, mining, and farming are not merely traded skills to be learned and then performed sluggishly from day to day in monotonous drudgery but they are skills to be cherished. The common worker is not lowly or insignificant in the grand scheme of the Grand Kingdom but they are what keeps the Grand Kingdom moving forward, for without supplies how would goods and profits be made? Most importantly, without farmers how would we produce ale?! This is why any dwarf should be honored to join the workforce of the Grand Kingdom, for they not only honor themselves but they honor their clan, the Grand Kingdom, and Yemekar himself.” ~ Thoak Goldhand, Yemekar's Pick of the Second Grand Kingdom of Urguan

Prospectors of The Treasured Hoard

The backbone of the dwarven workforce, the miners are what supply the Grand Kingdom with precious minerals for the crafting of objects of practicality, beauty, and strength. Even though there is no job that is greater than the rest in terms of its usefulness, mining is certainly one of the most dangerous and rewarding positions within the labor force. Whether it be collapsing tunnels, a nest of spiders, or a demanding quota, the miner’s job is never done. But with a good head on your shoulders and strict planning, you’ll come out of the mines with your beard still attached to your jaw, a hefty load of ore, and maybe even a bonus if you work exceptionally well.

Current Lodemaster: Enryn Blackhammer (DixieDemolisher)

Blacksmiths of The White Anvil

The most treasured and sacred art of the khazadmar, passed down by the ancestors to their children. The life of a blacksmith begins at an early age under the apprenticeship and watchful eye of a master blacksmith. Only by taking and shaping the metals of the earth for several lifetimes could they gain the reputation of being the best throughout the lands. It is up to the blacksmiths of Urguan to maintain the prestige set by their ancestors by ensuring the Legion is equipped with only the best, and that the denizens far beyond clamor in envy at their crafts.
 

Current Forgemaster: Ulfar Starbreaker (XxEnderking)

Blacksmiths of The White Anvil Hierarchy: <Link>

Artisans of The Gilded Hammer

Not quite as renowned as blacksmiths, but equally impressive in both skill and artistry. Artisans are those who can shape almost any material they desire into an item of practicality. A blanket to cover a babe, a ring to fit the hands of an unsuspecting recipient, a tombstone to mark the burial grounds of the fallen. All are things that an artisan will eventually create as the cycle of life continues. So will the demand of an artisan ever be, and their importance within the workforce.
 

Current Goldmaster: Kragdin Starbreaker (Prifter)

Farmers & Herdsmen of The Sacred Hearth

Although agriculture may not have the more clear and present dangers that mining does, it is no less crucial to the survival of the rest of the workforce and the Grand Kingdom. Without adequate food and ale, the loggers and miners would not be able to gather the materials used for building our stout stonework and masterwork tools. Meats, vegetables, bread, fish, and other baked goods are all necessities for a healthy dwarven diet, and let us not forget our most cherished drink, ale. These staples are what the farmers and herdsmen will gather, and therefore do not think of it as merely farming or butchering but fueling an entire Nation with food and drink.

Omithiel Institute

The Architecture Guild

When Yemekar made the dwarven race, it is said they were distinguished over the other descendants and more like him as they, like the Forge Father, were naturally prone to creation, gifted in craftsmanship amongst their peers. While the sons of Krug slap together tents and shabby pallacides in a rush for war, the sons of Malin lazily inhabiting trees, and the sons of Horen only caring to make whatever poses the most efficient benefit, the dwarves, the sons of Urguan, would dedicate themselves to making not only the most useful and capable structures but ones with great beauty and intricate design. We do not rush a building, for it is our divine duty to make what works we do grand, create works of inspired art. That is the purpose of the Omithiel Institute, to help ensure that the dwarves maintain their reputation with the world and its gods as the greatest architects, to make our halls grand and ornate.

Organization

Grand Architect

The Grand Architect is the leader of the Omithiel Institute, headed with the duty of managing the building projects of the Grand Kingdom. The position requires not only great skill in design but the ability to manage and organize great works to be accomplished. They are in charge of managing the finances of the guild. They receive no pay, the only gain for their position is honor and prestige. 

Architects

An Architect is an accomplished and skillful designer, capable of designing works of any scale. They are picked and promoted by the Grand Architect. Architects receive a cut of all commissions they work on.

Designer

A Designer is in charge of creating the schematics for minor, smaller-scale works. They are in essence an Architect in training. In order to become a designer, they must prove their creative skill and give an application for approval by the Grand Architect.

Builder

Builders are the manual labor backbone of the guild. It is a low skill requiring job, making it an easy fit for young beardlings looking to find a starting point in the community as well as for more experienced dwarves looking for a quick coin. They are paid by the amount of work done.

The Council of Omithiel

Summoning the Council

At the request of the Grand King, the Grand Architect will summon the kingdom’s most renowned builders along with the king himself into a Council of Omithiel to discuss constructions within the kingdom.

Duties of the Council

When summoned, the council will be presented with proposed and current constructions within the lands of the Grand Kingdom. The council will thoroughly review any plans and carefully survey any structures already built before moving to vote on their merits.

Powers of the Council

After reviewing any constructions, the council will move to a vote. All Architects of the guild have one vote, and in the case of a tie, the Grand Architect will cast the deciding vote. 

If the council votes in favor of a project, it will be approved and construction will begin. If the council finds the project unsatisfactory, the council will offer a list of grievances to the creator and offer an official redesign at a reasonable price.

When voting on a pre-existing structure, the council can decide on issuing a fine to the owner of the structure. The fine will be paid every week until the structure is fixed in the eyes of the council.

Services

Blueprint Commissions

The Designers and Architects of the guild are often employed in making blueprints for any dwarf with the coin. The price of blueprints is dependent on the complexity of the order, from the features requested to its size. Generally, a small 12 by 12 meter plot will cost 500 minas, a 25 by 25 meter plot going for about 1k minas, and a 50 by 50 meter plot going for 3k minas. These prices are only estimates, trends, and may vary depending on the specific order.

Grand Projects

Arguably the most fundamental service provided by the Omithiel Institute is the dedication to doing the work of the Grand Kingdom. They are responsible for infrastructure, military projects, and city projects. Every brick layed, every road paved, the Omithiel Institute is responsible for.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

From the ilk of Paragon Urir Ireheart 'Bane of The Undead' emerged the cursed bloodline of the Dorkadrel.  Their very existence defied most laws of the descendents.  Cast out and forced to rise from the ashes, the Doomforged have always taken up their own arms to hold fast during times of war.  

A storm has been brewing for much time, as the Doomforged have foreseen this many moons ago.  As the Elders gathered for what seemed to be several stone days.  They had finally emerged from the council chambers of Az’Nolvar.  They came to a conclusion and had begun sending word to any remaining kin of theirs. 

Ag’Karak shall be once more.

(Uniform by Mykei)

Creed of Ag’Karak

The Creed of the Ag’Karak was written upon Tablets of Stone centuries ago. These tablets are simply known as the Stones of Woe.

The Stone of Loyalty-  No Doomforged shall disobey the Tenets of the Clan, The Ag’Karak are not above anyone within the clan, we are all equals and all shall be punished equally.

The Stone of Strength- No Doomforged shall show Cowardice or Weakness, Clan Doomforged shall not tolerate such, should you deny a duel or refuse to fight. You shall be punished as decreed by the Clan.

The Stone of Retaliation- Never forgive or forget any slight that is made to the Clan and the people of Urguan. Even during times of peace, always be prepared to right the wrongs.

The Stone of Sorcery- Beware the Necromancer, Slay the Undead, they are an affront to our Paragon; Urir Doomforged. Those who dare delve into such powers or seek to shall be killed on sight. Give them no mercy for they gave our people none.

The Stone of Leadership- Do not abuse your position or use it to lord over other of your kin. All Doomforged are equal in the eyes of Dormmar, The leadership of the Ag’Karak is only law on the battlefield, and must act completely to better the clan and not act in their own self-interest. 

Specials:

Quartermaster - Khorgrym Doomforged

Engineer - Khenarlum Doomforged

Forgemaster - Charsi Doomforged

Ranks

Untested:

Those who have yet to prove themselves worthy, they are the recruits of the Ag’Karak and must seek to prove themselves worthy of Dormmar’s blessing. They are often sent out on the bulk of missions to prove themselves useful to the Clan.

Runeshield:

Proving their prowess and loyalty to the Clan, they have earned the blessing of Dormmar and as such, have a collection of runes carved into their body, to protect their soul and strengthen their resolve as they serve as the Vanguard of the Clan. (note: The Runes are purely spiritual and provide no actual benefit)

Bane Brother/Sister:

Veterans of the Ag’Karak, these warriors are often the protectors of the Dorthrumm as well as their advisors and second in Command. They have received a collection of runes over the course of a successful military Career within the Ag’Karak. They are allowed to schedule and organize raiding parties and incursions and are able to recruit soldiers into the Ag’Karak themselves. 

Dorthrumm:

The Leader of the Ag’Karak, They are the most loyal and stalwart of the Doomforged. They have been elected by the Clan to lead the Ag’Karak and should they falter in their duties, shall be replaced. They have final say on matters of the Ag’Karak and are able to promote and demote soldiers, as well as organize any large scale raid or siege against the enemies of the Clan and the Dwed.

The Grand Hunters Guild

ᛏᚺᛖ ᚷᚱᚨᚾᛞ ᚺᚢᚾᛏᛖᚱᛋ ᚷᚢᛁᛚᛞ

Da Kathaik Grunga’mar Barimmar

We dwarves are naturally isolationist folk but for too long have our lands gone unexplored and wild; teeming with beasts of all sizes and ruins lost to nature. For this reason, the The Grand Hunters Guild was formed, a guild whose goal is to encourage and organize dwarves in exploring the great unknown and hunt the beasts within it.

The Grand Hunter's Guild's crest has four symbols on it that are the ideas that the Guild seek to follow. The top representing Respect for nature, the left representing Life as a community, the bottom representing Crafting from nature, while the right represents Prosperity from nature.


 

Operations

Mapping and Exploration

The Grand Hunters Guild of Urguan is responsible for the exploration and charting of Urguan’s underdeveloped territories, acquiring knowledge of not only the geography but the flora and fauna that inhabit it. Hidden throughout said territories, ruins, artifacts and beasts alike remain undiscovered, unobtained, and unexamined by the Dwarven populace. Through their discovery, these riches, ruins and knowledge shall give Urguan a better understanding of these lands, how their inhabitants survived and why they vacated them centuries ago. 

Maintaining the Balance of Hefruth

During their exploration of Dwarven lands, The Grand Hunters Guild is expected to run into and deal with threats of all forms - ranging from local fauna to monstrous beasts. The Guild is responsible for the regulation of all these hunting activities within the Kingdom’s borders and to manage the active monster population in the surrounding areas. This is so they can prevent species from going extinct, as the Guild does not exist to annihilate all monsters but to harmonize dwed with nature in the Teaching of Hefruth. Depending on the threat, the Guild may also wish to further examine slain or captured beasts, as the secrets of this new realm and it’s fauna have yet to be fully uncovered. In extreme situations, the Grand Hunters Guild may call upon the Legion of Urguan to assist in dealing with any and all threats.

Organization

Grand Huntmaster

(Kathaik Rikkin-Grunga)

The Chief Royal Officer of the organization, the Grand Huntsmaster leads the efforts of the Guild and organizes all expeditions. They are meant to be skilled both in exploration and combat tactics and has unilateral authority over the operations of the Guild save for the Grand King themself. Should the Grand Kingdom go without properly ran expeditions for too long, the Grand Huntsman is liable to be removed.

Master Hunter 

(Kronok-Grunga)

Master Hunters are individuals who have proven their capabilities to the Guild as the most Elite Hunters under the training of the Grand Huntmaster, and therefore have been given the ability to lead projects, recruit and train new Hunters, and host Guild events, amongst other duties. These individuals typically make up the pool of possibilities to fill the title of Grand Huntmaster, and due to such, are expected to lead by example.

Veteran Hunter

(Az’adar Grunga)

Experienced members of The Hunter’s Guild, Veteran Hunters are typically new recruits who have show their understanding of the key concepts of the Guild’s teachings. Under the watchful eye of a Master Hunter or the Grand Huntmaster, these Hunters have begun their training to study and hunt the more dangerous beasts in the realm.

Hunter

(Grunga-mar)

The standard rank of the Hunters, are the common khazadmar who make up the bulk of The Hunters Guild recruits. Individuals with a passion for exploration and a lack of fear, Hunters are expected to represent their guild at all times and be ready to jump into progress as soon as called upon.

Archmaester

(Ard-Vísind)

Archemaesters are Maesters who have demonstrated mastery of a particular subject. They receive a rod in the metal corresponding to their ring which signifies their expertise on the topic.Archmaesters teach the students at the Grand Hunters Guild in their subject of expertise, and they judge whether an acolyte has shown enough knowledge on their subject to receive a ring. As advisers to the Master Hunters and Grand Huntmaster themself, Archmaesters are often also members of Anbella’s Grace medical institution or the Order of Remembrance, and as such are sometimes called   “ knights of the mind. “ 

Maester

(Vísind)

Maesters are an order of scholars, healers and scientists within the Grand Hunters Guild.  Tasked with studying and expanding the knowledge of both the flora and fauna of the continent, a Maester can go before an Archmaester to demonstrate his/her knowledge on a particular subject to receive a ring of metal reflecting the topic. 

Acolyte

(Vísindundin)

Students who start their education at the Grand Hunters Guild are known as Acolytes. They are regularly sent to either Anbella’s Grace or the Order of the Remembrancers to obtain a base of scholarly knowledge before they return to receive their first ring and ascend to the rank of Maester.

Touchmark Registry of the Worker’s Guild of Kal’Mugdor

╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛

Touchmarks are what signifies a craft as an individual’s workmanship. They are small symbols that a smith will impress into their metal, like an anvil or a sun, in order to claim they crafted the work. It speaks on behalf of the crafter, proof of handiwork and performance before even testing the steel itself; a mark of pride for metal to bear the touchmark of renowned blacksmiths.

Here lies a compendium of the touchmarks of bladesmith and armorsmiths of The Worker’s Guild of Kal’Mugdor, for reasons of posterity and pride. May this text be ever-expanding as the dwarves continue to teach and pass down their arts, with a compendium to record their own stake on the history of dwarven smithing.

THE GRAND GUILD OF MERCHANTS

ᛒᚨᚴ-ᛒᛖᚱᚷᚢᚴᛚᛁᚱᚢᛗᛗ

Dwarves are known for three things: their short stature, their underground strongholds, and their token lust for valuable items. The Royal Guild of Merchants focuses on this last primal trait to acquire vast sums of coin for themselves and the Grand Kingdom of Urguan.

HIERARCHY

The Grand Merchant, stylized as Armakak’s Coin, is the principal leader of the guild, responsible for all that it encompasses. The Grand Mechant must ensure that the guild is well-supplied and merchandise is sufficiently appropriated to guild members. He must ensure that their products are sold at a reasonable and correct price, as well as conduct other managerial duties that become present with time.

Senior Merchants, stylized as Acolytes of Armakak, are guild members who have proven themselves as masterful traders and are capable of working on their own. They are responsible primarily for orchestrating grand trade operations: stocking the shelves of the foreign shops and seeking out new business ventures abroad.

The Junior Merchants, stylized as Initiates of Armakak, are the backbone of the guild. These traders primarily act as guild mules, performing the vital task of transporting wares between the Senior and Grand Merchants. When not performing in this function, the Junior Merchants will peddle goods at the discretion of the Grand Merchant.

CODE OF CONDUCT

Guildsmen will not steal from their fellow guildsmen.

Guildsmen will maintain their assigned merchandise or redeem its loss.

Guildsmen will respect the laws of the nations to which they are assigned

OPERATIONS

Guild operations are formalized by the Grand King and his Grand Merchant, generally planning import-export operations for a year at a time. Merchandise delivered to the Merchants’ Guild will be appropriated first to the domestic shops of guildsmen before being transported abroad for export, either by Senior Merchants to their foreign hubs or by the Lesser Merchants to peddle on the streets.

Yearly, the Grand Merchant will assess the net gains from his subordinates and name the most profitable guildsman, awarding him for his outstanding efforts to the Grand Kingdom.

GUILDHOUSE

The Royal House of Mercantile is the primary logistical warehouse for guild affairs and the office of the Grand Merchant. Its inner workings are mysterious to foreigners and even most Dwedmar, for its halls are closely guarded from prying eyes. It is known to hold vast storages of trade goods and a separate royal treasury.

APPLICATION

Though the Royal Guild of Merchants seldomly appropriates time for the purposes of adding new blood to its ranks, it does collect resumes from interested parties. All submissions are overseen by the Grand Merchant, who alone will dictate a Dwed’s worthiness to the Guild.

ARMAKAK NEEDS YOU! JOIN THE GUILD NOW!

A dwarven medic after tending to the wounded after the battle against the Aengul Ondnarch

The Main Focus

Anbella’s Grace is a medical institution based out of Urguan and independent of the outside world tasked with ensuring medical care for dwarves and its quality. The dwarven race being a hardy folk, the medics of the guild (ironically enough) prioritize efficiency over grace in their medical treatment, trusting in dwarven fortitude to bear through any discomfort so the treatment may be done swiftly. The medics are, as many other facets of dwarven society, industrious in their care, however as the name would suggest devoted to the religious nature of their work, often cooperating with priests of da Kirkja Dverga to craft prayers. They worship Anbella in particular.

Culture and Aesthetic
 

To achieve our goal of a unique medical community we strive to create a bit of culture and create a unique aesthetic. We mostly want to center this around effectiveness, a pinch of the dwarven religion, typical dwarven directness and bluntness and a little bit of an unrefined vibe. We also embrace the militaristic vibe all of Urguan shares. The ingame slogan or credo will be “ Da Krazdran kahanir Ardol nevrumm enduroz”. This translates into The battle against blood, never ending.

 

Main Goals
-Provide a stable medical community

-Provide fun and interesting rp for Urguans medics

-Create a distinctly dwarven way of practicing medicine

-Creating dwarven medical knowledge( both in the form of books and ooc things like dwarven physiology.)

-Ensuring and guarding the quality of medical rp.
-Becoming the main authority on dwarven medicine
-Becoming a guild

Organization

First Medic:
-Serves as the main authority in the organization
-Delegates power downwards
-Keeps track of the overall progress

Second Medic:
-Serves as a council under the First Medic
-FM chooses someone from the council to be their right hand
-Different SM’s are in charge of different things, for example combat medics, head nurse, apothecary and general civilian treatment

Senior Medic:

-A regular, more experienced medic
-Can train new medics

Medic:
-A regular medic that has passed training, though is still relatively inexperienced
-Can oversee the training of new medics


Medic Trainee:
-An initiate in the organization, can oversee treatment of patients
-May treat their own medics after basic training under a medic’s oversight

Nurse: 

-an initiate in the organisation who has chosen to do their part in combating the less lethal but still dangerous illnesses 

Example of some of the many services the guild will provide :

- Healtcare for all dwed

- Making dwarven medical supplies

- Teaching the next generation medics

Time zone

For large swaths of our history, the dwed have gone unpaid & unappreciated for their essential labor for the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. From the rubble of the past, Kal’Mugdor, the City of the Mine, erupted to forge a new way of life for the common Dwed. The city’s name coming from it’s founder, Mugdor-Dharok, who rose to the title of Yemekar’s Pick purely by hard work and dedication, proving that nothing can hold back a Dwed from piercing the top. Following the trend of hard workers is the current Yemekar’s Pick, Dorimnur Goldhand who runs a tight ship and keeps a watchful eye on the horizon of dwarven innovation. Now it is time for all the laborer Dwed to prove themselves in the eyes of Urguan, and to reap the rewards of their crafts. Come all ye miners, blacksmiths, artisans, and more, as your expertise is in high demand in the Grand Kingdom of Urguan.

Miners: Supplied with the finest and most exclusive mine in all of the land, our sole job is to provide the Grand Kingdom of Urguan & Urguan’s Worker’s Guild with authentic Dwed ores and minerals. From ferrum and manganese to Carbarum and Volatite, dwedmar miners know how to mine them all, coaxing the bounty from the ground under the blessing of Grimdugan. Miners are allowed to enter the mines for free, without a mining permit. Upon completion of your quota, you will be rewarded with a payslip. Exchanging the payslip at the payment building will reward you with 2 Karzul, a steady wage to advance yourself in Dwedmar society.

Blacksmiths: The world remains jealous of the superior blacksmith ways of the Dwed; it is what gives us the most valuable competitive advantage in war and industry. To ensure the Grand Kingdom of Urguan remains at the top of equipment quality, the sole job of the blacksmiths are to forge exceptional armor and weapons. Metal will be supplied by Worker’s Guild Miners, free to use by the blacksmiths. Upon completion of each weekly quota of 5 forged goods, blacksmiths are rewarded with 2 Karzul. With time, your smithing abilities will become renowned across the land, and others will surely be begging for your gift.

Artisans: While many Dwed may have sausage fingers, we have a limitless amount of beautiful metals and crystals to work with. Supplied by Worker’s Guild Smiths and Miners, artisans who work within Kal’Mugdor will be given supplies to create amazing crafts and jewelry that people all over the land will be dying to obtain. With each stone week that passes, artisans that complete their weekly quota of two tailored clothes for other professions will be awarded 2 Karzul. By slowly chipping away imperfections from your craft, perhaps your work of art will become an heirloom of a kingdom one day.

Engineers: Dwarves who wish to push the frontiers of industry at a more direct pace do so through Engineering! Gadgets and Gizmos made of screws springs and steel abound for those in the Worker's Guild Engineering wing. They harness their natural tinkering and ingenuity to hone their problem-solving skills and creating applications to solve issues dwarven society faces with their own ideas! Their quota will consist of 5 Engineering parts for beginners so the higher ranking Engineers can create functioning products, for the pay of 50 minas per product, and 2 Karzul for 5 parts.

How the Guild Works:

GUILD DAY

Currently, most smiths and artisans just hammer away at the forge alone, for no one to see. The Dwed’s strength as a people is when they come together, and this rings true when it comes to blacksmithing and artistry. It lacks the social aspect that brings the guild together. The same can be said for mining. Although it can be relaxing to go into the mines with your pickaxe and mine away, humming your favorite war ballad, you don’t grow with the combined knowledge of the other’s who may have developed unique mining, smithing, or artistry techniques. Participating in the Guild’s very own of Guild Day, this would change. Once a week, smiths, miners, and artisans all gather to craft, mine, or work. The workers give pointers and show off their own techniques to one another, each dwed having their own personal experiences to tell and teach. This would also be the time for lessons to be taught, should a worker be contracted to teach someone outside of the guild, or to help those of lower rank than they. The Guild can gather on a preset day, and concentrate their efforts to get the most out of it, rather than everyone working to themselves. Most promotions are held on Guild Day as well, but promotions can be scheduled other days.

The Worker’s Guild is open to all races, but, for an outsider to work for the guild, they must work like a dwarf does. If you are a dwarf, you can enter the workforce without any prior experience. If you are not a dwarf, you cannot enter unless you have skill coming into the job, and must work out a deal with the Yemekar’s Pick. 

Hierarchy 

Regulars: The backbone of the workforce. Those who show up and get the job done, regardless of how well they do it. Those who have shown a desire to grow begin to see results here. Those who consistently hit their quota each week can expect to move up the ranks quickly. A regular is expected to rank up in three stone weeks, after submitting three quotas, and taking their three lessons. They are able to deal with ferrum and aurum, and that is all the Guild is willing to trust them with, unsure if they will be able to withstand the labor of dwarven industry. The crafts of a Regular are characterized by a high likelihood to crack and warpings of their works, and miners know which end of the pick to swing. 

Proficient: This is where most non-dwed stop in their skill level. Those who know the in’s and out’s of their craft make up this rank of workers. Proficient workers can deal with semi-precious gemstones, not quite ready for the likes of gemstones like emeralds rubies and diamonds. Now available to them are the alloys of the world, and all mundane metals and minerals. They can craft with/mine Kulia Crystals, as well as all of the previous minerals, and can deal with Meteoric steel. They also have the skill to work with any potential alloys, so far as the alloys contain the materials the workers have the skill to work with. Also with this rank comes the benefit of using guild forges and materials for personal commissions, at a 25% commission rate. They also are allowed to teach Regulars so they can both progress, and are required to at least once before they become Professionals. They are expected to be promoted to Professional after 8 stone weeks, five of which are of them submitting quotas of their rank, and the final one being a submission of a work of Meteoric Steel. The crafts of a Proficient are characterized by a fine result, not being particularly efficient about it, but being quality work.

Professional: These workers have made their craft their meaning in life. They show utmost dedication to what they do, and it shows in their nearly unparalleled crafts.  Professional ranked workers are able to work with precious gemstones that are too fragile and too expensive for Regulars and Proficients to have access too. They are able to work with/mine the dangerous Volatite and Blighted Steel, Azhl, and are required to submit a quota of both before they can be promoted, as only a professional worker could be trusted with such valuable and dangerous materials. The crafts of a Professional are characterized by nearly perfect, ornately crafted and with attention to detail. It would be expected for a Professional to be promoted after 12 stone weeks, or 4 weeks at the rank of Professional, as they have to submit the two dangerous metals, in addition to teaching a Regular their three lessons. Who learns what is dependent on the Professional workers. 

Master: Those who have attained full mastery of their craft. They have shown exceptional work with all of the previous materials available to the guild, but most importantly, they can work Carbarum, the most fabled of minerals in the land. Due to this high responsibility, and the rarity of Carbarum, there will be only ONE Master rank worker per profession. The crafts of a Master are characterized by being unparalleled. Nearly flawless would be their works, and they would make them with ease.

Grand Master: The pinnacle of Dwarven mastery and craftmanship, those who attain this titular rank are known throughout the land from their deeds and accomplishments achieving this rank. Works made by Grand Masters would be recognizable, and their name would bear assurance of utmost quality, for there would only be one in the Guild. A Master worker attains this rank by submitting a work of Carbarum, as well as taking up the mantle of Foreman and leading those under them. Grand Masters would orchestrate the efforts of their sect of the Guild, leading projects with the Masters below them for the Yemekar's Pick.

Progress through these ranks is shown through attendance to Guild Day, meeting quota, fulfilling orders, and exceptional work as deemed by the Forman and Yemekar's Pick. Those who are permitted for moving up must show their craft to the Foreman or Yemekar’s Pick. Examples are: A smith showing an ornate sword; an artisan crafting an oil urn; a miner showing his ability to mine Volatite without exploding. At higher ranks where there is a limited number of jobs, a worker looking to advance to a position that is already filled may Challenge the one holding the position through a contest of craftsmanship. The winner takes the position, and the loser is demoted.

The general form for promotion is showing up to a set number of Guild days, and delivering the profession specific quota for a set number of days, and then finally for the promotion, you have to show some of this craftmanship to the Yemekar’s Pick or the Foreman. Teaching another craftsman will expedite this process, as teaching counts as two quotas. Regulars have to teach with the Yemekar’s Pick present, while Proficient and above do not, and can teach at their leisure. This teaching quota can only be applied once per rank.
