A New Era

[Josh3738 3137]

 

The citizens of The Grand Kingdom gathered slowly, making their way in small groups from the main city to the bridge that leads up to the Obsidian Throne. As they pack the bridge and buffer against the guards standing in lines below the dais, the Grand King makes his way to the head of the throng. Raising his hands, the crowd falls silent and he begins his address. His voice booms as the Belka Rune in his hand lights up and his words echo about the cavern with strength and volume that exceeds all others.

 

 

"Brothers, sisters, my kin. The ushering in of a new era is upon us. As once paragon Urguan’s rule was absolute, so too shall be the king’s. By the blood spilt of our fathers, our father’s fathers, we stand here a mighty people, unbent, unbroken. However, a stain upon our kingdom has plagued us for millennia. The horrid stench of greed, and corruption.

 

Although once our senate, our councils, our government was pure, time and time again it has been exploited and abused, and thousands have suffered. I say now, no longer. With the blessings of the High Prophet, and the approval of the clans, I announce a new reign. The old reign. The blessed reign of Urguan himself. From henceforth the Senate of Hammers shall be dissolved as a governing body, and the King’s rule shall be unquestioned.

 

From henceforth the reigning king shall take the name Silverbeard, as Urguan the father once did. The king shall rule as Urguan’s successor until his death, or resignation. As Urguan did, the king shall name his own successor, and when the successor comes to the throne, he too shall take the name Silverbeard. If ever the king disappears without leaving a successor, we shall defer to the gods, and ask the standing High Prophet to name the new king.

 

It is upon these foundations, brothers, sisters, my kin, that we shall build a new age for Urguan. It is now in this period of rebirth that I ask for the unity of all Dwedmar. I ask for your trust. And for my kin abroad, now is your chance to return. There will not be another. I shall leave you all with the divine scripture of paragon Valen, the wordsmith..."

 

“What history teaches us is that the eight sons of Urguan were all brothers and only when they treated each other as unlike their own selves, did they stand truly divided. The day that we forsake unity for petty rivalries and greed is the day we fall… Stand as one and we are capable of achieving any length of greatness. Stand alone however and we will die alone.”

 

 

The crowd erupts into cheers and the legion turns to face the Grand King, pounding a fist against their chests in salute. The city fills with shouts of "Narvak oz Urguan!".

 

[McDaedra 261]

Strondrorlin chortles with glee as he raises a fist in support!

[Quirkyls 484]

Haemich would throw a rotten tomato at the king as he finishes the speech "Tyrant!"

[bromadan 368]

Kilmar Ireheart merely shook his head at the Speech, going back to his duties without another word. 

[Ioannis 1480]

Frerir Irongrinder simply listens. He does not respond, the smile on his face vanishing. He would remain by his men, watching them as they cheer. His mind races to other domains. He would think of his Ireheart friends, of the fellow dwed who dies for Urguan. He would simply listen. He would simply listen..

[Thatpyrodude 2008]

Dagnar Goldhand grumbles at the news, unsure of how to think. "Ah suppose long as ah can keep moiking mina, ah suhport this..."

[seannie 7443]

Imperial Field Marshal Aeternius begins to prepare mock war plans.

[Taketheshot 3834]

Balgruff Frostbeard shakes his head with a frown "Democraceh was always teh pinnacle o' urguan, common dwed makin teh choices in teh senate, an' now t'is...... o'im ashamed tae be part o' t'is kingdom."

[Old-Rattlesnake 1534]

"A warranted and beneficial change to the government of Urguan, though admittedly unexpected. We are watching history in the making."

[SeventhCircle 460]

Alem'shun would later here news of the speech and make a simple remark "What a bold and risky move" Before folding a note regarding the matter up and putting it in his library.

[Raomir 1855]

"Long had the Frostbeards drawn to attention the malicious intent of the Arcadians, yet we were shunned. Called rebels, called traitors, called villains. Yet we knew that the Ironborn would nae return under the name Ironborn. We knew that Khorvad's spawn was deep in Dwarf society, but under a new name. You have a right to be mad, to feel betrayed, to feel helpless.

 

But you do not have the right to say you were not warned."

[TankM1A2 840]

"What's next? Restriction of our speech? Martial law?" asks a Sea-dwed to no one in particular.

[mateolog 1623]

"Shame... this might cause some trouble fer Urguan." Says Kerwyr Silvervein when he hears the news.

[_Noah_ 7]

Bradol Grandaxe would listen to the kings speech intently with a grin on his face, up until he hears about the senate of hammers being dissolved, "An' tes' was naet' made public until et' was passed?, W'ot a disgrace.." he would quickly mutter to himself before looking for his fellow Grandaxes and Legion members to see there reactions and wandering off into the city, shaking his head all the while.

[PraiseTheLord 868]

"Era ub th'nubded?" Hazurk'Raguk comments as he hears of the news.
