A Cold Farewell - Norkai

[mateolog 1623]

 

     Beloved children of our Father Urguan, I come to you today to make a statement and to say goodbye, the ride has not been pleasant but we all can agree that we have learned from this trip.

 

     When we came to Kaz’Ulrah we swore an oath to become the loyal servants of “King” Garrond Frostbeard, in return the so called dwarf would be expected to rule his kingdom with honor and decency. He also promised to have the top officials of the Confederation keep their rank so that they could help the nation of Kaz’Ulrah. I have just healed myself from a sickness that took 4 years from my life and when I come back to my people what do I see? Nothing. A man-child king too bussy licking his own ass and filling his pockets with minas that he is blind to what his people want, a clergy that is in clear decadence, and hunters that instead of hunting like real dwedmar, lay traps and wait around a campfire like a bunch of pansies.

 

     I have heard of the news that the Confederation of the Hammers has been reformed by both of my eldest sons; Gimli and Thumril. Allowing the true sons of Urguan to have a home in this world and not having to suffer from the forced rule of incompetent kings who’s only talent has been the one of licking boots of previous kings. I have heard blasphemous allegations about the people of the confederation calling them canonists, but any decent dwed that reads the document will be able to read that it states that Canonism will be allowed in the halls of the confederation, which means Canonists will be free to worship their god and the dwed will be able to worship the Brathmordakin. To those Frostbeards that dare snare to this pact I call out the fact that the late King Kerwyr was a vassal under the humans which handed him a military level way above that of Urguan which allowed the Frostbeards to defeat their fatherland claiming the land for themselves.

 

     The blasphemous allegations of the Frostbears does not end there. Unlike most dwarves the clan of the Frostbeards does not believe they are descendants of Urguan the father of dwarvers and that all clans (including the frostbeards) come from. They believe that the first Frostbeard was in fact the brother of Urguan. For this reason they renamed the Kingdom removing the name of the beloved father of all dwarves and replacing it with the name of the first Frostbeard; Kazulrah. Not to mention the bloody rebellions the Frostbeards partook killing unsuspecting politicians in the council of Hammers back when Urguan existed. All these atrocities...yet not only do we have a frostbeard as king, but we have a frostbeard who directly partook in the act of manipulating the lower ranks of the Frostbeards to idolize their leaders, murder of the senators, and the heresy of erasing our history to brand the frostbeards as better dwed than they are.

 

     I write this message because unlike what the Kingdom of Kaz’Ulrah is used to I won’t snake myself between sides. There is enough manipulation in this so called kingdom for all the races of Atlas to live out their lives honestly. I march off to meet my family and friends in the Confederation of Hammers where we will live like true dwedmar, and when the time comes for Dungrimm to claim us we will have no shame to present to him only pride in having served our race with dignity and truly.

"So instead ye beh lickin' the boots o' 'uman barons t'at be lickin' the boots o' a 'uman king. Noice one," comments Thorrak Ireheart.

A well written missive is delivered to the traitorous Human Vassals and Norkai of the Low Tower

It is interesting indeed that Norkai would come out, of all Dwedmar and act as if he was 'betrayed'. When he and his Kin agreed to returned to Kaz'Ulrah, the honorable High King Garrond was promised they would be actively partaking in the daily life of the Kingodm. Instead, only two of them - the honorable Gizmok and Grilthram were to be seen. The others retreated into their rat holes and waited to be forgotten, among them you. You and your craven brethren waited a few years and then decided it was time to return to your hold, despite the terms of your treaty being unfulfilled. Yet you have the gal to accuses the High King for misdoings. It is no surprise to me then, that you found Kaz'Ulrah unaccommodating. Indeed, we are not known for harboring such spineless and heretical dwedmar like yourself.

 

You expected your leaders to gain positions, yet none of your leaders were ever present to be given the positions in the first place. He who was present, Grilthram, was honored with the powerful position of Grand Marshal, which he executed to the best of his abilities until circumstances forced him to resign honorably. Yet a couple mere years after his resignation, I hear of rumblings in the old hold underneath White Peak was once again being inhabited. Inhabited by those very 'disgruntled' dwarves who were robbed of these positions which they never even attempted to execute. Were we to give positions to ghosts, o wise Norkai?

 

You attempt to attack the preaching of Kerwyr Frostbeard, who did indeed believe Kaz'Ulrah to be Urguan's brother, but I am interested to hear how you knew of this well guarded secret? Perhaps some information from beyond this world reached your ears, or you are someone who was close to him? Because if you were close to him, you would surely also know that this idea was quickly dispelled soon after his death and never spoken of again. Indeed, I would ask that you cite proof of this. A claim this large would warrant some sort of writing, somewhere? A mandate? Something must be in the records! Or is this a simple attempt to sling dirt upon a Kingdom which did anything but wrong you?

 

Furthermore, your allegations that the Frostbeard Clan swore to a Human Kingdom is yet another falsehood, clearly produced within the deep confines of your demented and power-hungry mind. The Frostbeard Clan simply made a military alliance with the settlement of Vsevograd in exchange for taking control of nearby land. We never ventured so far as that we would abandon our faith like your spineless halfling human Confederacy which does not even have enough numbers to fill a single house. A mere year after the agreement was made, Vsevograd fell as expected and the Frostbeard Clan was free to claim all the lands. To me it sounds like Kerwyr played these humans, rather than bending over to them like you and your friends are doing as we speak. To abandon one's culture in the manner you did is disgusting and robs you of the title 'Dwed'.

 

Regardless! Your intentions are clear Norkai. You wanted to be High King of Kaz'Ulrah but quickly realized that no one respected your word or cared for it. You knew you had no status among the true Dwedmar and that you'd never stand a chance. So you decided to betray as usual, and leave for a place where you had at least some influence, but I fear that what you will find is that you are not liked anywhere. And for that you have only yourself to thank.

 

May Dungrimm claim your soul soon so you may meet your beloved Creator, Son of Horen.

 

Signed,

Nerak Frostbeard, High Prelate of Kaz'Ulrah

"By Urguan's beard! a letter frem tha High Prelate ef tha gnomes 'imself! wow, ah see ets filled weth rubbish...but still will be nice to have it as a sovenir...lovely."

* Frames the letter and hangs it on his wall.*

[Adelemphii 1768]

"Ah donnae knoh w'ot ye dwed o' this time 'ave gotten yerselves intuh, But all ah knoh is ye destroyed t' Grand Kingdom o' Urguan. Ah cannae duh anyt'ing wit' ye dwed now because o' t'at, Ah swore me life t' The Second Grand Kingdom of Urguan, an' not t' this Kaz'Ulrah er whatever t' fock ye 'ave called et. Do nae get me involved in t'is arguement o' dwarves, Ahm nae in t'e mood t' partake in t'e splitting of our race. T'is a w'ole blasphemy in its own t' have our race split among us dwed." Adresin mumbled after reading the note in his half-built lodge, shaking his head as he heads back to work.

Krarrak 'werdon' Metalfist would read this and would nod with a smile: It ain't t'e first time t'at we 'Ave done kinslay in,  it 'append since t'e creation of us dwed. We a'e born wit' t'is curse and will evantually pay t'e price, oi dunt ca'e t'at ye dun't want to c'oose soides, if yer wanna die alone wit'out any dwed round yer to burry yer, be me guest, but in Azgaryum, Az'adar, 'olm and Nogrod we live our loives devided but in peace, but Ulra' t'inks t'ey can control all dweds, but t'ey won't, t'e great kings a'e long gone, only t'e lesser ones fig't for t'e t'rone, so if a dwed Kingdom tells ye t'ey never done kinslay t'en t'ey talkin s'oite we done t'at many toimes and it will never stop.
