Condemning Wyrvun

[Zezimus 1523]

 

 

A missive is delivered to all corners of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, bearing upon it the seal of the Grandaxe Clan.

 

“Sons of Urguan, brothers of the stone,

 

I, Wulfgar Grandaxe, Prophet of Anbella, write to you today with word of a great blasphemy committed by many dwarves right here within our populace of Kal’Omith. A sin that for too long, we dwedmar have chosen to turn a blind eye, and done nothing. For every day we allow its act to continue, we bear insult upon the very divine that allow our presence in this world to continue. What I speak of, of course, is the blasphemous worship of the false pretender known as ‘Wyrvun,’ as if he were one on par with the true pantheonic gods of the Brathmordakin.

 

Beneath the reigns of previous High Prophets of the Kirkja Dverga, worship of Wyrvun has diminished from recognition among the pantheon, to an Aengul of its own purpose and ambition. Alas, many dwarves do not appear to have heeded this decree, and continue to place his worship in lieu of reverence of the true gods. Thus, within my right as a prophet before Anbella’s mercy, it is my sworn duty to bring to you the truth and to condemn such forms of worship as what they are - heresies.

 

The truth is that what Anbella gives, Wyrvun takes. Even now, we must shelter from the deep cold that Wyrvun’s presence brings, starving our livestock and leaving our crop fields barren and unfruitful. Indeed, this is to speak nothing of the ills Wyrvun has committed in the unholy form known as ‘Ondnarch.’ In the guise of this corrupted spectre of evil, Wyrvun desolated the city of gold, Kal’Azgoth, leaving it in ruins until the day came that WE, not Wyrvun or any other, reclaimed it as our own. In this time, Wyrvun took the lives of many of my own kin alone; Morgrim, my father, and former Grand Kings, Thorik and Thorin.

 

I speak not of each and every crime Wyrvun has committed against us, for from the day the deep cold bore down upon our Aegisian kinsmen during the reign of Barradin I, they stand too numerous to count. Ergo, he is an affront to the gods’ will and each day we allow his worship to continue, the gods turn a scornful eye upon our kind.

 

It is no secret that in recent years, engravings have been found chiselled into the walls of our great city, claiming heresies in support of the dark lord, Khorvad. A stone week ago, a fellow dwed was found brutally murdered, alongside a message praising the fallen god. Alas, we must not allow this once servant of evil to fester within our city any longer, lest his worshippers come to collude with those who would seek to supplant the worship of the true faith.

 

Thus, I hereby call upon the High Prophet, Morug, to wholly and unequivocally condemn the worship of Wyrvun within Kal’Omith and order that any shrine, located outside the private confines of a dwarves’ home be torn down and destroyed. Only then, can our sins be atoned.

 

-        Prophet of Anbella, Wulfgar Grandaxe.”

Aldal Ireheart reads Wulfgar's missive closely, gathering to him anyone that would wish to hear his thoughts on it.

"Let eht beh known tha' oi wos deh 'igh Prophet tha' legitimoised Wyrvun followin' 'is purification by Igor. Oi wos deh dwed tha' named 'im Brathmordakin. Oi tell yehr now, all o' yeh, oi wos wrong. Wyrvun wos nae made durin' deh creation o' deh greater gods, an' nae Brathmordakin would beh corrupted by Khorvad's taint, nae matter 'ow strong eht beh. Oi support Wulfgar en this endeavour; public worship o' Wyrvun nae longer 'as a place. Pray tehr 'im en yehr 'omes, an' clan 'alls, but do nae place 'im besoide deh Brathmordakin en terms o' power ehr respect."

[Pepto 677]

Svardin Grandaxe furrows his brow. "'bout time someone spoke up about the false god. Won't be long until blades are drawn, an' mine'll be drawn towards the snow."

[Daisy 9738]

"Ah've always agreed 'ere. Wyvrun was nae 'purified' bah mah fadah, but rather was weakened bah 'is actions. Ah f'ink it beh true 'e is a false god! 'e took dah loife of 'oleh Kjellos 'n Igor - and dah actions ov dis being mus' nae beh forgiven. Ah blessed 'ammer does nae turn evil tu good - nae fall for Wyvrun's ruse!" proclaims Onar.

The hour is late and the candle burns low as Zahrer finally comes across the missive mixed in with all his paper and documents. He reads through it quickly before nodding slowly. He pushes some of the folders aside and makes a clear area for his parchment and pen as he prepares a short letter.

 

"My Old Friend Wulfgar, I write to you in regards to your recent missive to the High Prophet. Having read through it and found its contents to be both intellectually stimulating and convincing, I must wholeheartedly agree with your request. Having spoken to him in person, I can contest to the fact that, despite his interest to preserve us in the past, Wyrvun is no Brath and should hold no place in public worship. Privately done, the worship is not harmful but I'm quite sure the Brath hold little interest in those who would follow the teaching of a Non-Brath over their own.

Yours in agreement, Zahrer."

Baldin Frostbeard sits next to the giant statue of wyrvun as he reads these news.

" Wyrvun saved mi en multiple ocasions. He might net be part ef the Brathmordakin but hes power and greatness es still tu be praised. Khorvad es tryen tu blind ur judgement."

Aelthir Tundrak II hears of the missive, arching a brow. "Did their High Prophet not name Wyrvun to be among the Brathmordakin? It sounds to me like a certain Bortu is out of touch. Regardless, if any harm comes to Dwarven worshippers of Wyrvun, I will be forced to intervene," the Snow Elf frowns.

Darid would hear comments like this on this topic and remind people that yes he did legitimize Wyrvun, and then after listening to Fili and Kardel denounced and retracted his actions.
