An End To Inner Strife

[Lefty 1696]

 

 

*as the Grand King sits in his chambers within the palace of Kal’Omith, he reads of the demands made by the High Prophet to the Council of Arcadia, and the fracas which has ensued since. After hearing both sides’ argument, he pens a public proclamation on the dispute*

 

“Citizens of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan

 

This recent dispute between the Clergy and the Council of Arcadia has took a toll on my mind as of late, this is clearly a problem which needn’t arise, however rightfully addressed so that the entire nation can be given clarification on Arcadia and their role within Urguan.

 

Whilst Arcadia is indeed home to many of our Runesmiths and our Golemancers, it is also an institute of learning. The city of the sky is home to many important relics which in the wrong hands could very much cause havoc to our people, which is why entry to the city is closed off. However all people, especially all dwed, are indeed welcome in Arcadia, one must simply send a bird to any of their inhabitants and they will gladly invite you in visit their city. It is simply a precaution so that unwarranted access to Arcadia does not jeopardise their work, for example the many Rune Cannons that Arcadia provides for the Grand Kingdom, or even the work being done on the Omith Project. Arcadia has many dangerous things within it and if it were to fall to the wrong hands it could be very tragic. But I must implore that all dwarfs are welcome within Arcadia as long as they do not wish to cause trouble.

 

All the dwedmar within Arcadia, are faithful followers of the Brathmordahkin, they indeed have shrines to our gods, as have I personally seen them attend sermons and praise the gods in all they do throughout my many years of knowing them, even before my ascension to the obsidian throne. The High Prophet, our chosen representative of the Brathmordahkin, is perfectly within his right to inspect the religious beliefs of any dwed, and I am sure the Arcadians would have no problem inviting him into the city to see for himself of their following of the true faith.

 

However this does not excuse certain responsibilities that the Arcadians have towards the Grand Kingdom. The Khaz’Lordak, a school of magic, history and philosophy was given orders to be finished construction of many years ago, a duty which the Arch-Runelord Zahrer Irongrinder has indeed shirked. As a result of that, the Khaz’Lordak which was a public place for all dwedmar, has not been able to be fully implemented, which has shown less of the Arcadians around Kal’Omith, if it where to completed we would see much more magic around our city as mages from all over Axios would travel to see what wonders the dwarves are capable of doing.

 

To conclude, I shall list a set of terms both sides shall be ordered to follow, to end this dispute so that we can focus on the Norlandic threat to the south, and be unified in our common goal to get revenge for the grievances put upon us by the axeman raiders.

 

• The Arch-Runelord Zahrer Irongrinder has 2 stone weeks to complete construction of the Khaz’Lordak and put it into full motion.

• The Arch-Runelord Zahrer Irongrinder must provide the Grand King with a list of all current magic users within Arcadia and the lands of Urguan, not only Runesmiths.

• The Council of Arcadia must provide the Grand King a list of all dwedmar and non dwedmar who reside within the city of Arcadia.

• The High Prophet must halt all acts of aggression through speech or physical force towards Arcadia and it’s inhabitants.

• All dwarves, will fight the undead threat, as I believe no one in their right mind would shirk such duty.

• The High Prophet is invited to speak to the Council of Arcadia, so that they can show him that they do indeed follow the Brathmordahkin.

• The Grand King will discuss with the Council of Arcadia of potentially holding a feast there, for all dwedmar to attend, and to show that the Arcadians truly are apart of the Grand Kingdom and wish to be on good terms with all dwedmar within Urguan.

 

Finally, a short message from the Grand King.

 

Remember that in times of struggle or hardship, that a dwarf’s character is not defined by colour, culture, or where they choose to inhabit, but by their ability to work together with another to achieve a better Urguan. Whether we squabble, whether we debate, or whether we come to blows, we must remember that we are a family. Families stick together, and we have showed that we can, even during our hardest times, during the brink of being conquered or civil war, or left homeless after an attack by the undead, forced to find new residence. We must always remember that,

 

We are descendants of Urguan.

 

We are dwarves.

We are strong.

[Hiebe 2493]

Dwain nods as he scribbles in his tax ledger.

 

Guud job, glad tu ave da king back 

[Zezimus 1523]

The Prophet of Anbella, Wulfgar of Clan Grandaxe, offers a nod of his head as he reads over the Grand King's publication regarding the unity of the realm.

 

"Sons ov Urguan, for the greater good ov dwarves everywhere n' for the unity that our ancestors 'ave stroived to create, we must set grievances asoide n' learn to work together to defeat t'e enemies that threaten t'is kingdom's prosperous state. Arcadia n' t'e citadel 'old a role to play in t'is, whether we see it now or not. Providin' t'e ancestral arts remain open to all our kin, n' t'at t'ese Arcadians foight wit' t'e same ferocity alongsoide their clans on t'e field ov battle, we 'ave nay reason not to call 'em our brothers n' accept that it is t'e same blood that runs through our veins. Blood, that if we were to spill, would be among t'e greatest acts ov sin in t'e eyes ov t'e gods."

 

Raising a hand towards his breastplate, he signs a hammer and anvil across his chest, uttering some words in the ancient dwarven tongue.

 

"Nadra rym nir tazarak."

[Josh3738 3137]

Zahrer skims the notice briefly, nodding slowly as he finishes reading.

 

[cj_scout 305]

Hjalrik Grandaxe stands beside Wulfgar as he speaks, nodding firmly in agreement as the Prophet finishes his words.

 

"Aye, Wulfgar said et t'e best. T'ere's nae reason whoi dwed shoul' turn on dwed when weh've enemies elsewhere t' worreh 'bout."

 

 

[CaptainBrock 254]

Oyvind Frostbeard would raise a brow as he reads coming to a realization unity is need, and brotherhood is the staple of Dwarven society.
