-=(Nominations For Kingship)=-

[Josh3738 3137]

Lord Regent Zahrer stands on the balcony of the Legion barracks. His eyes scan the crowd gathered before him. Dwarves line the front row, being the shorter of the congregation. Various humans, elves, and even orcs stand among those of the crowd. His face is stoic and he holds in one hand a large scroll, the letter of the Grand King.

 

((Normal speech for easy reading))

"Lads and lasses of Urguan! Today we awake to grieve. Our Grand King Wulfgar has resigned from his position of Grand King to take his own path onward. His time as our leader was short but I can say in confidence that he was by far the greatest King I have ever known. With our loss we must carry on. From this day onward until the setting of the sun on the third elven day the lords may present their nominations of candidates for the kingship. May Yemekar guide your judgement my fellow lords, so that we may continue the work of our Grand King."

 

Zahrer steps back from the railing, waiting for the other lords to give their nominations.

[Fimlin 1997]

Fimlin Grandaxe runs his hand through his beard
"Ah Dunnae wunt t' throne, nor duh ah 'ave a great numbah ov worthy dwarves, 'owevah ah f'ink 'Ogarth Irongut es un ov t' worthy candidates, 'eye is t' eldest ov er council n' surleh most woise."

[Kardel 1054]

Kardel angrily bursts in protest "Nae. Zahrer shuud remain loard, for date but 'e dues best. Zahrer as keng wuud nae impruve da kingdum. Hogarth be sure den able ta. Hogarth sun peace, nae revenge. Ah be sure Hogarth will improve DA kingdum wif 'is views. Nae Zahrer; 'es guud at 'is jub as right nou."

Kardel angrily bursts in protest "Nae. Zahrer shuud remain loard, for date but 'e dues best. Zahrer as keng wuud nae impruve da kingdum. Hogarth be sure den able ta. Hogarth sun peace, nae revenge. Ah be sure Hogarth will improve DA kingdum wif 'is views. Nae Zahrer; 'es guud at 'is jub as right nou."

 

Dizzy wonders what Kardel is talking about seeing as no one has actually nominated Zahrer yet. Dizzy begins to think a stark investigation might be in order.

Kwint believes Hogarth to be the best choice for king. He wonders if he would willing to accept the title.

[Jordan1921 373]

Lord Chancellor Hogarth Irongut scans the crowd, many races have all gathered here in Kal'Arkon: Orcs, Humans, Elves and his kin, they all wonder what the future of the Grand Kingdom is. Most of their faces show looks of uncertainty, they probably thought that the Grand King's leave is sudden and they would be thinking correctly. Hogarth takes a deep breath then begins to shout towards the crowd. 

"People of teh Fringe, todeh 'as been quoite 'ectic but let us all take ah moment to remembah teh Grand King whu recentleh resoigned, Wulfgar Grandaxe led all of us whethah t'ey were ah Irongut, ah Grandaxe, an Ire'eart er of any other clan. 'is reign wus wun of conflict, an' it's uncertain whether our next dehs shall beh aswell, but 'e took all of t'ese problems an' united us, strengthened us, t'ese dehs of relative peace wouldnae beh 'ere if it weren't fer 'im!"

The crowds begin to clap, their fear tamed for a brief moment as the memory of the past king is clear in their minds. Hogarth raises his right hand to the height of his shoulder, signaling the crowds to return to silence. 

"But weh must now look tuh teh future! And fer t'at I nominate myself fer teh next election fer Grand King!" 

Some people clap, others show a blank expression on their face, Hogarth continues. 

"In meh loife ah 'ave seen maneh kings roise an' fall, ah am 'onored tuh 'ave lived t'rough Wulfgar's reign, an' I would give meh all tuh make sure t'at t'is Kingdom sees bettah dehs t'an it evah 'as. Ah shall peh close attention tuh teh guilds, t'eir leadahs 'ave ah duteh tuh teh kingdom tuh make Dwarves new tuh teh nation welcome an' able tuh reach t'eir potential. Teh official buildings need an' shall beh build in Arkon, an' all our treaties shall beh up'eld fer t'ose t'at 'ave fought wit' us valiantleh in teh war 'gainst Carrion Oren. Ah will alsuh make sure t'at in t'ese uncertain toimes teh military needs tuh beh sure t'at weh shall all foight fer t'em, fer our kingdom shall beh preserved fer our children, t'eir children, an' further generations!"

Hogarth takes a breath as he awaits the nominations of the rest of the lords. 

[Hiebe 2493]

Hiebe will stand by his cousin in this election, why not add another Irongut King.

[lukejes 55]

"'Hogarth fer Grand King!" Kwint adds.

[Aengoth 2890]

Hiebe will stand by his cousin in this election, why not add another Irongut King.

Cause the last one went so well. However Aengoth is in support of the choice for Hogarth as king.

[Hiebe 2493]

Hiebe notes shots fired and how aengoth wasn't even there.

[Kardel 1054]

Meanwhile, Kardel continues believing that Zahrer is nominated because he has not left his tower in a week and has a really bad newspaper.

Meanwhile, the nominations didn't even start a week ago. The stark investigation continues.
