Dun_Irongut 104 Share Posted January 31, 2014 *A note is posted on the Dwarven notice boards and a letter, bearing the same title, is left pinned to the door of Clanfather Hogarth Irongut* There is a time and place for everything. The time for change is now. Yes, we are in times of war, and a lack of change is understandable. But despite strenuous circumstances, this system is but the gristle that his been scraped up since the end of Thorin's kingship. Yes, he was a plotter. I will say this openly, but he accomplished things. He understood diplomacy and knew when to use it. He understood trade and left me to roam freely in my pursuits, producing a hefty sum of money for the kingdom. The current state of the kingdom has stomped out private industry and has reduced the title of Grand Merchant to that of a tax collector. If that is what it is to be, call it that. Don't beat around the bush and ignore what sits in front of you. Beardlings wallow in the muck, jobless and with a lack of understanding in how to improve the system. There are no gem cutters. There are no ways to learn the art of smithing. There are no private taverns in which we may partake in drink. Indago, king of kings, you have fought valiantly in battle. Now it is time for you to fight the true fight: fixing the strained and exhausted nation we see today. Subsidize the jobs that can be available. Encourage the training of new beardlings as gem cutters, smiths, miners, and the artists we hold most dear, brewers. The kingdom is meant to serve it's people, the people are not meant to serve the kingdom. I wish you well in your reign and suggest you provide a nation worth living in for future generations. For now, I leave you with just my words and my offer of friendship. After our conversation, I've realized it is no longer reasonable to waste my efforts in supporting a broken nation. It is a nation I have always loved, but I suppose the saying remains true, "If you love something, set it free." I must do this now and perhaps, Indago, you should do the same. As I have said, I wish you well. Sincerely, Dun Irongut My dear friend, brother, and Clanfather, I have left the safety of Kal'Ithrun and it's lands so that I can free myself of this bureaucracy. I know that in time, you will spend your efforts on fixing the broken piece of machinery that is the Dwarven nation. Yours is the only opinion I will respect. In time, you may call me back, but now is not the time. I will provide you soon with the information you requested via another letter, but for now, I suppose we will not see each other for a time. I will return when there is opportunity and beardlings do not waste their time degrading in the muck. I wish you well, Dun Irongut 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan1921 373 Share Posted January 31, 2014 After waking up on a bright morning in Kal'Ithrun, Hogarth looks to his door to find the note left by Dun. Reading the letter Hogarth sighed deeply, taking in each word with a hint of fear and understanding. After finishing the letter Hogarth retreats to his room to ponder a few things before starting his day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobolympic 1093 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Balek Irongut scratches his beard as he finishes reading the note. He sighs, shaking his head. "Oi've returned tae' eh Kingdom, n' kin, onleh tae' see it in eh state o' despair n' 'opelessness. Far from wha' Oi remember as eh wee beardlin'. Gone are tha' days o' gloreh, n' 'ere we toil in muck, hardly able tae' look past tha' oor own recklessness n' warmongerin'. Yet eh broken kingdom, loike any'fin else, can be repaired. Oi shall du wha'eveh eh can tae' contribute, n' bring tha nation back into tha' state t'was before, n' beyond. By tha' poweh o' tha Brathmordakin, it mus' be so."
