A Letter to Clan Grandaxe

A Letter to Clan Grandaxe

 

 

In the early hours of the morning, an ashen feathered raven is seen flying through the great gates of the dwarven capital of Kal’Omith and into the Grandaxe clan hall, a small rolled parchment strung to its right leg.

 

“To my cousin, Fimlin Grandaxe, Lord of the Grandaxe Clan,

 

In recent years, the kingdom has become suffocated by inaction, the manner of which you are no doubt aware. Where once the Grand Kingdom of Urguan commanded vast swathes of armies, we have since grown dormant. No longer do guards patrol the halls of our great cities, nor do our once honest councilmen strive to work for the greater good of the people, but for themselves.

 

Gone is the merriment of ages past, the unified purpose that bound our people as one. Amidst the upper echelons of the clergy, the sanctity of our gods is forsaken, their words corrupted and moulded for the malignant purposes of the few who lord over us.

 

Amidst this flagrant inequity, we have forsaken what it is we truly are. Long forgotten are we that while we may not have always seen eye to eye with Clan Frostbeard on all matters home and hearth, we still remain kin. Sons of the mountains of old Aegis, Kal’Domhain and Jornheim, together stalwart defenders against the servants of the Archdaemon, Khorvad, and the bringer of the Eternal Cold.

 

Now, we would sooner turn blade on our kin than accept the reality that stands before our very eyes. That this nation is not what it once was, that corruption festers at the very heart of our hallowed halls. Gone are the days where we could truly look upon our people’s actions with pride. No longer invested are the assurances that whether by means of word or action, we can bring about the positive change our people need.

 

In self-serving paranoia of what was framed as an alliance, a senseless pact was formed with the Holy Orenian Empire to protect those who lord over us from the people they were sworn to serve. I intend to fight alongside House Romstun and Clan Frostbeard today, because Axios deserves better than to be subjugated by the same enclaves of power that have repressed them for centuries.

 

I beseech you, as a cousin, a friend, a sworn brother in arms.

 

Withdraw your support for Gror Ireheart and his ungodly coalition with the Holy Orenian Empire, and pave the way for a new era of dwarven enlightenment and unification.

 

Fail to heed these words and the Blackaxe shall fly once more.”

 

At the bottom of the letter, a name is signed in black ink, its letters bold, imposing, yet intricately scribed across the page.

 

“Wulfgar Grandaxe, son of Morgrim, son of Valen."

[wolfdwg 2677]

"Wise dwarves who'm seen the light of this ruse played by their puppet of a king." Kanit would smile recieving a letter of the bold Grandaxes's who stand stalwart against the tyranny of Oren.

[Tornaedo 1249]

"Tides are changing." John would state as he stands outside Adelberg with a large grin on his face

[Raomir 1855]

Verthaik II Frostbeard would stand by Wulfgar nodding his head slowly, as he places a hand on Wulfgar's shoulder

"Fimlin will see yer way, if 'e does nae ah fear for the rest of your kin."

[nordicg_d 1847]

"I do hope Clan Grandaxe do not follow suit and make the same mistake as Gror the traitorous" Deano howls within his mountain home. 

[Jordan1921 373]

Hogarth reads what has been written and scoffs, "Bunch ah Flay nonsense old friend. Teh Frostbeards realleh 'ave gotten tuh yeh 'aven't t'ey?" he says as he gets to work writing up something in return. 

[Thatpyrodude 2008]

Dagnar Goldhand reads the document, confused by its content "Oren is wrong buhcause they want tuh avenge traituhous kin? nothin' but ah poor powa play by ah shite Clan."

[Tsuyose 3285]

"**** off." Comments Peter.

Alifer smiles as he reads the letter. "I smell the embers of rebellion stirring."

[Ioannis 1480]

Frerir Irongrinders receives the reports and bursts into laughter. He would look to his servants as they clean the mugs from his Flay visitors and would just continue laughing. "Finalleh some shoite happenin'"

[ShIXTank 95]

"What would happen if we beat house Romstun? Oren will force Urguan to bend the knee, and we will fight again against the orenian empire as we have already done in Axios. Everything will always be reformed, nothing destroyed, fighting is useless." 

[Archbishop 1784]

"I also smell your blood which will soon cover my axe." says Felix Fitch.

"A strong stout ale for a strong dwarf." Harren speaks, raising his coup.

"Didnae t'e Frostfucks ally wif Oren 'n' grovel at t'eir feet durin' t'eir shoite rebellion? Ironic," chuckles Thorrak Ireheart, before returning to his binge-drinking.

"They did." Says Felix Fitch, having witnessed the event from the dais.

"Quite the ill-fated move by these Dweds." remarks Aeternius, strolling among the rows of the dead after the recent victory.
