~=~ A Sorrowful Departure ~=~

[Soggy365 162]

*Aldal Ireheart shakes his head sadly as he leaves Kal'Arkon, a small bag of supplies slung over his back. He looks over his shoulder once more at the great city which he had loved so much, as he marches further and further away. He had left a small letter in the mailbox of the Grand King and in that of his friends and relatives. The various notes, all written in neat, swirling handwriting, would read:*

 

"To whomever reads this letter,

 

   It is with great sadness that I choose to leave this city and pursue interests of my own. My time among such fine dwarves has been too short, and hopefully in the future I will have many more years among you. However, for the foreseeable future, I have decided to leave. With my departure, I step down from all of my positions of importance.

   If I may make some suggestions as to who should take over these positions. As High Prophet, I suggest Chase Irongut. He would be a greater High Prophet than I ever was or will be, and is very active within the clergy. As Clan Father, I nominate Onar Ireheart. As Clan Councillor, I nominate Bastian Ireheart. The position of Grand Adviser should be filled by whoever you deem necessary, but my suggestion would be Balek Irongut.

  I leave my possessions to the Stormhammer Clan. It is my last wish as Clan Father that my sword, a fine blade named Grimforge, be kept as a relic within our clan.

  I cannot express enough my sadness upon leaving, but I feel it must be done. Perhaps I will return one day, and when I do, it will be a time of happiness and celebration. To the Stormhammer Clan: I thank you sincerely for my time among you, my kinsmen. I couldn't have received a more outstanding family than yourselves. To the Legion: You are a powerful militia of incredible dwarves, and I thank you for including me in your ranks for many joyful years. To the general public: I will miss you all greatly, and have made some true friends over the years. Do not lose hope. When all seems lost, I may ride into our stone halls once again.

 

                                                                                                       Yours sincerely,

                                                                                                                               Aldal Ireheart."

 

*The notes seem to be dotted with the marks of Aldal's tears*

 

((This is genuinely sad for me. I've had such an amazing experience with the dwarves, but it's time for me to let go. With exam pressure mounting, I can't get online enough. I'm not leaving the server, and have decided to play in a more relaxed manner as a halfling for the time being. I intend to return eventually, perhaps when all my exams are finished and I can give enough time to the community again. But for the next few months, I will not be returning. I feel that I've met some really nice people OOC'ly as well as in RP. It's the dwarven community that kept me coming back to the server for so long. I'm sure in my absence, many things will change, but I sincerely hope that all the current dwarf players can stick together and continue being the brilliant community that they are. With that, I'm signing off. Bye guys, and may you have a really good time over the next few months. -Soggy365 ))

Onar wonders who he will make the next Grand Adviser as he reads through the letter.

 

"Aldal..."

 

He sighs.

 

"Ugh, wa' do dah dwarves alwehs 'ave tu gu on dese spiritual absenses tu foind Yemekar, w'utevah. Ah guess sum 'oles will 'ave tu beh filled..."

 

Would then find Grimforge, placing it within the relics vault.

 

((Sad to see yo gone friend, hope to see you back around soon.))

Odin notes that the Clan Elders must vote for next clan Father... Odin also notes he has done more for the Clan and has been in the Clan longer... Also better Ireheart

[Daisy 9739]

Odin notes that the Clan Elders must vote for next clan Father...

Onar votes for himself.

[Fimlin 1997]

Fimlin Grandaxe runs his thumb over the pommel of Grimforge's twin sword; Tormund "t'is terrible tuh see such ah foine lad guh, ah remembah when weh wer grunts guard'n t' Kal'Azgoth gaytes."

((I've known you since you joined the server and am sad to see ye go, but things get hard and I understand, good luck))

[Hiebe 2493]

Hmmm dam,

Hiebe wonders about the leadership of the religion.

[Greener 687]

At this point Odin starts to sniffle as a tear rolls down his face

 

((BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI))
