The Mythos - Ok'Akkor

Hammers fall, hear the echoes reply
Debris pall hang o'er our facade on high
Marvel upon our wonders and ask not why
Ask instead how and know that now
We have breached what lies beneath the mask
The curious mind has been taken to task
We have forgone vainglory, you shall heed
We serve not ourselves but the Kingdom's need

- Oath of the Stoutchasm

 

 

The arrival onto the shores of Vailor left the taste of salt and bitter aloe in the mouths of the Stoutchasms. The journey through the ocean left them weary, the bitterness of an ailing Kingdom left them exasperated. Dzralen went to work concocting a story unlike all the other clans. The Stoutchasms did not pretend themselves the strongest nor collected their coin-purses to weigh themselves the richest. Rather, Dzralen sought the annals of Dwarven histories and found an interesting figure named Kiror Yemerdorn. One of few archaeologists in the employ of King Broski Grandaxe, Kiror served as the forefather for the Stoutchasms.

The reliance on the past deeds of grander warriors and oath-bearing paragons had done little to aid the Kingdom of Urguan. Dzralen saw this and dedicated his clan towards the aid of the Kingdom whole in the most minute matters. However, just as Kiror Yemerdorn had maneuvered through the intricacies of archaeology, so too would the Stoutchasms prove to be wily. Where they gave up the ideal of the hero, they dedicated themselves to being the wise raven. Where they forgone the idea of pride, they made up in vigilance.

Dzralen Stoutchasm inducted a series of rituals that would enlighten, engage, and entertain the Kingdom. The Stoutchasms have recently taken a pledge to serve the King or otherwise leader of the sons of Urguan without care nor concern with the clan affiliation of said leader. Each Stoutchasm has taken an oath to swear off desire for the throne.

The Tradition Triad

Elegy ::
Lamentations are often sung of the fallen Dwed. These lamentations are a means to collect and revise history. Though the Stoutchasms do not pretend  themselves to be the greatest in any regard, they honor the greatness of the other clans. The elegies are often in the form of rhyming poems.

Effigy ::
The Stoutchasm, through their oath of selfless service, are not perfect individuals. They harbor grudges, exasperation, and disdain for certain Dwed who they see as being obstacles to the advance of the Kingdom of Urguan. The Stoutchasm will produce effigies of these figures rather than attack or slander the figures. If one is to see a burning effigy of themselves, do take care to talk to the Clan and come to terms with what has earned their scorn and err.

Eulogy ::
Eulogies are produced to praise the work of certain Dwed. These eulogies are seen as serving to boost morale of citizens of the Kingdom. Eulogies are often erected upon totems along the roadways and enable the Stoutchasms to also keep an eye across the entire realm of the Dwedmar and keep themselves concerned with the appearance of the landscape. The Stoutchasm typically beautify the locations around the totems.
 

The Investiture

 

 

The Stoutchasms do not have a system of ranks, but rather the Clan Father consecrates a ritual known as the Investiture. The Investiture establishes the elders from the youth of the clan. The Elders are permitted to engage in the Traditional Triad while the youth are expected to observe and study their Dwarven brethren but can neither raise totem nor effigy of any of the Sons of Urguan.

Dzralen laid a hand on Skorri's shoulder, the oath ceremony taking place high up the peak in which Kal'Akash is nestled into. He muttered a prayer and traceed the engraved lines along a hammer, giving it to Skorri.

Dzralen consults in a Goldhand priest, being warned of dopplegangers plenty surrounding Gilly. He bides his time in meditation at the decision.

 

((Mate, you have a bunch of alternate characters on this single Minecraft account. How will I know to trust you to be consistent?))

[Samson Option 9652]

Dzralen has decided to annoint Gilly Stoutchasm.

Dzralen drove himself into a frenzy, efficiency was his clout. King Balek was impressed at the recent Senate Meeting by the progress. Grand Marshal Jorik Grandaxe awoke from his bed-ridden illness to find the Legion 60% armed and readied with a new, efficient means of mobilizing them in place. The 40% unarmed were the responsibility of Sharr Irongut and the iron was already in his possession for chain-mail and swords. Dzralen fell asleep with the dream of a burning effigy, a palm made of cast gold buried halfway at the foot of the twig-and-branch monstrosity.
