We Must Move On

[Jordan1921 373]

Fliers are posted all around the streets of the Capital of Urguan, the fresh ink of the printing press is seen by the dim torchlight. 

 

"Citizens of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, this is news and updates on the recent events of the Grand Kingdom, of which are numerous, it is the duty of all, young and old, to understand the happens of the recent days, as these have shaped the future of our nation. Stay strong in the coming days, and do not let the lack of leadership stay the course of our strength.

 

Early this stone day, 14th of The First Seed, 1517 our kin mounted an assault led by others on the sea monster known as the Devourer. The Dwarves fought valiantly against the beast but alas the Dwarven ship was taken, smashed to bits by the beast, most Dwed escaped to the nearby High Elven boat, unfortunately our Grand King Balek Irongut was not one of them. He was taken by the sea, or by the monster. I urge all faithful Dwarves to pray in their homes for the well being of our Grand King. Balek Irongut fought with the courage of Dungrimm and ruled with the fairness Yemekar bestowed upon all his children, he will be missed. 

 

Upon returning to Kal'Akash many rushed to the throne room, an urgent senate meeting was called, in which I, Hogarth Irongut was asked by the senate to be Lord Regent, acting as King until the next Grand King is chosen by election. If the attention of the ruler is needed, speak or send a bird to Hogarth Irongut. Before the election comes however, the senate must nominate who they wish to run. If you wish to step forward and put your name on the kingdom's ballot speak to one of the Kingdom's senators.

 

After the meeting we were visited by the ancient Dwarves, who came in golems, they asked for us to bend the knee to them. They asked for our loyalty to call them king, we declined, they met this declaration with force, and in a bloody fight we fought back the Dwarves and their servants. After the assault was beaten back we rushed to the beacon that summoned them there in an attempt to turn it off. In the ensuing chaos the Grand Marshall Jorik Grandaxe was captured by their forces. After returning the legates of the Legion met and decided to vote on the interim Grand Marshall. The Legion's choice was Rhewen Frostbeard, who will assume the duties of the Grand Marshall until further notice. This is the news of our Kingdom, a senate meeting shall be held soon to decide those who will run for the position of Grand King, be safe my brothers, keep ever vigilant."

Once as fat as a Dwarven boar, a somewhat malnourished looking dwarf who's tusken beard has grown, watches from afar.

On his self appointed spiritual journey for the Brathmordakin, he felt as someone else was urging him to return to his brethren, but  insistent with continuing his devout service to the gods, he decided to just watch over them for a few days.

 

Not to his surprise, during his over watch of them from a far off hill, his kin were as loud and as rambunctious as when he left. What he could make out from the voices that were carried through the mountains, were ones of anguish and despair. Holding back the urge to return, he stood resolute. Before packing his camp, he looked back at the Dwarven mountain range, still somewhat strewn with axes, spears, and shields, a single tear rolling down his right cheek, hoping his clan was safe and sound.

 

Before he turns away to continue his service, he uttered a simple prayer,

 

"Meh Grimdugan 'nd Armakak give yeh all a bountiful fortune ehn teh future.

Meh teh shimmerin ove treasure, coin, 'nd even love wash ovah teh moun'ains."
