A Peaceful Calling

 

 

A roaring fire gently crackles in the corner of the council chamber as Wulfgar Grandaxe, Grand King of Urguan begins to tap his stubby fingers against his throne. The flames illuminate his features as he looks down upon the various guests arriving from across the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, to pay their respects towards his rule. He is dressed modestly, in the traditional clothing of his mountain dwarf kin and appears to have a large war axe clipped to his belt, while a wolf skin drapes down from over his shoulders. With a slight wave of his hand, a sudden silence envelopes its ways across the crowd. As he rises from the throne and begins to speak, his voice resonates throughout the chamber.

 

“Sons ov Urguan, tu’day ah stand befur’ ye undah Yemekar’s ‘oleh loight. T’e vereh loight t’at ‘as guided our people t’rough darkness n’ despair w’en all wus’ t’ought tu beh lawst. T’e loight t’at weh ‘ave fought su’ ‘ard fer in t'e yers lun' past. Aye, t’ough t’ere is yet much tu’ beh dun’, weh ar’ slowleh treadin’ t’e lun’ road tu peace n’ plenteh. Ah am pleased tu announce t’at ov t’e tasks ah issued tu t’e guilds t’is elven month past, all ‘ave been completed tu an adequate standard. If ye ‘ave nawt alreadeh received yer payment, ye should beh expectin’ tu duh su’ in t’e comin’ days a’ead. As ah furt’ah show ov progress, ah ‘am ‘appeh tu announce t’at ah ‘ave soigned intu’ passin’ t’e declaration ov a defensive pact wit’ t’e Dominion of Krugmar. Nuh lun’er can t’e Sons ov Krug n’ Urguan feud in such ah world wer’ loife itself ‘as becom’ su’ delicate. Fer t’e Black Scourge marches, n’ w’en t’ey com’, death shall reign duwn ‘awn all, indiscriminate ov clan ‘er creed.”

 

 

“Yet mah brothahs, know t'at t’is hour shall nawt beh our last. Fer each victoreh weh achieve, ah t’ousand souls shall beh spared frum ah loifetoime ov torment n’ damnation. Yer names n’ t’ose ov yer shield brothahs shall echo ‘awn int’ all eterniteh. Weh may onleh prosper w’en weh ar’ unoited t’egethah agains’ t’e dark legions frum t’e north. Onleh t’en may weh truleh stand a chance tu foight ‘em back. Fer ah fear t’ere is sum’tin’ far darker t’an wut weh ‘ave seen at work ‘ere. ‘elp us defend our people n’ keep t’e toides ov evil at bay n’ w’en yer toimes comes, ye will ‘ave earned yer roight tu walk amun’ t’e ‘alls ov Khaz’A’Dentrumm.

 

Weh entah now an era ov enloightment n’ greatness. Our forges ‘ave been rekindled n’ t’e ‘ammer falls upon t’e anvil once mur’. Beneath us loi vast riches, deposits ov rare minerals awaitin’ tuh beh uncovered baeh t’e inquisitiv’ amun’ us. Weh ‘ave ‘ad t’e ‘onour tu bear witness tu Wyrvun’s roise frum t’e ashes n’ is ascent ‘as ‘un amun’ t’e Brathmordakin. ‘is return, mus’ ‘earald in ah peace weh ‘ave nawt seen fer centurehs. T’e Lord ov Virtue shall goide us t’rough maneh ‘ardships yet. Suh return to yer ‘omes, ‘ear t’e ring ov an ‘ammer n’ anvil wunce again. Breath t’e fresh air ov peace n’ tranquilliteh. Wut t’e future ‘as in store, weh ‘ave yet tu know but ah pray weh may liv’ beneath ‘is watchful eye.”

 

 

“Fer tu’ lun’ my brothahs ov t’e stone, weh ‘ave let ourselves beh defoined by conflict. Such t’at ‘as set us back ages ov ‘ard n’ strenuous work. Now ‘owevah, ah new threat aroises. It dus’ nawt com’ frum t’e north but frum wit’in’ our vereh bordahs. Adunia n’ Fenn… Ye kin stand divoided, ‘awn t’e brink ov civil war. Ah war t’at poses ah t’reat ov castin’ us int’ chaos, settin’ us ‘awf frum our true foight against t’e scourge. Ah call upon ye tu end yer petteh disputes n’ liv’ ‘as ‘un. Fer lest t’at is tu beh achieved, know t’at ye will nevah foind peace in t’is loife ‘er t’e next. Fer all t’e loyaltehs ye ‘ave shuwn t’e Grand Kingdom, duh nawt brin’ war upon dwarven lands wer’ it is nawt wanted. Ah pray onleh t’at ye will ‘eed t’ese words befur’ it is tu’ late.”

In Khazad'Karrzark, blood is wiped from the streets as the failed coup comes to an end.

Kayrin sighs and bows his head slowly. "If only things were so simple," he murmurs slowly and sadly. "If only it would be over sooner rather than later."
