If Nobody Remembered You

OOC: For ease of reading for people who are not used to dwedmar accents, I have put this up without butchering the English language.

 

Vondan stood up at the altar at the temple, looking out among the benches at everyone who had gathered there. He shuffled his papers as more people filed in, checking his notes as he waited for the last of the stragglers to show up. Finally, he nodded to the congregation and spoke.

 

"Its good to see the ******* lot of you here today, if I hadn't seen some of you I'd have to find you after I'd finished my sermon and beat the bloody **** out of you. But no, I'm serious. Its good to see all of you who made it. Those who didn't show up either didn't have the time or got too **** faced to show up and forgot this was happening." he chuckled, looking about the room. "Let's think about that for a second though." he said, lifting a finger as he shook it in the air.

 

"Some dwedmar have forgotten about the Brathmordakin. Why, the other day I was approuched by a young dwed who has just returned to our glorious Urguan and you know what he asked me? He asked me who Yemekar was. I was shocked. To think there are dwed out there who don't even know who Yemekar is. Then we have the dwedmar who know of the Brathmordakin, but just don't have the time to dedicate to them. During my time in Kal'akash, the only time I hear any Brathmordakin's name pass the lips of my brothers and sisters is before a battle as they ask Dungrimm to be with them." he started to shake his hands in the air.

 

"If you were a Brathmordakin, how would you feel about this? I don't know how all of you would feel, but I can tell you how I would feel. I would be absolutely furious." his voice grew louder and reverberated throughout the temple. "I'd be stark raving mad that I had done everything I could to help and guide the dwedmar and more and more every day, they forgot me. I'd be irate that I was not being given my due reverence and prayers. Imagine how Yemekar would react seeing that young dwed that I spoke too not even knowing who he was."

 

He lowered his voice again, speaking in a fatherly tone. "I feel like this is comparable to a family I knew in my travels before I returned to Urguan. I stayed with a very large family in Oren. The head of the family, the sweetest old woman you could've ever meet, did nothing but provide for her family. She would work from the wee hours of the morning to the dead of night for them. I stayed there for a whole season and not a single time did I see her shown more than the slightest sign of affection or gratitude. Yet, she was always happy and continued to slave away for her children and grandchildren, largely taken for granted. I found myself wondering, what would happen when she died? It's a horrible thing to assume things will always be the way they are and that you'll always be taken care of. That family I stayed with probably fell apart for a time with the passing of that kind old woman. More than a few of them might've realized how horrible they had been.

 

The Brathmordakin are like that sweet old woman. They slave away to help us dwedmar and a good amount of us take fore granted everything they have done for us. I've done it a time or two myself. What I've done though is realized what I was doing and returned to the embrace of the Brathmordakin and realized nothing is a given. We cannot turn our backs on the beings who love and care for us so much, who have guided us through the dark and troubling times, and have stood watch over us during peace, protecting us.

 

No, its time for a new age. Its time for us to bring the faith back into our daily lives and bring it back to the forefront of every dwedmar. Its time for us to strengthen our roots and spread the Brathmordakin faith. Its time for a new beginning, a new age. Everyone who is gathered here today, we need you. The Brathmordakin need you. When you leave today, speak to at least a few people about the faith. Remind them what the Brathmordakin have done for us, both dwedmar and other races. Before you nod off tonight, thank Yemekar for giving us life.

 

Brathmordakin guide you all."

The dwarf would scratch as his beard "You could consider me one of the many who don't have any knowledge on the Brathmordikin other than Wyvurn. Please inform me."
