Medvekoma 2073 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (( This thread is a lore-story re-telling of the Queen's speech today in Kaz'Ulrah for those who weren't mechanically present but ICly would have been, from my chat logs )) The High Queen emerged from the throne room, to face a cradle of Dwedmar. She looked flushed, pale and exhausted, though also prideful. She held a sword in her left hand, one made of blackened steel, though turned edge-first, its bulk not visible to those gathered. "Ever since Arcadia lifted itself off the ground," she started her speech, "The Runelords have been trying to take over the Dwedmar. Install their illegitimate rule and defile the line of Urguan and the elected kings. When the clans Frostbeard, Blackaxe and Goldhand stood up and fought for the Freedom of the Khazadmar, the Runelords fell from both grace figuratively, and from Arcadia literally." Some cheers erupted from he gathered crowd, many recalling the glory of toppling the corrupt kingdom. A Stormbreaker even let out a loud whistle. "The Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah represens the Freedom of the Dwedmar." Koralon continued. "A freedom that many of us fought for. And triumph was earned through hundreds of bloodied beards we'll never forget. Today we stand as the ultimate Kingdom, the strongest of the Dwed factions and the last Dwedmar settlement still loyal to the Brahmordakin, the traditions and the ancestors of each clan." The High Queen shifted in her stand. She took a firm grip on the sword she held, her tone turning even more serious than prior. "Yet the Runelords still taunted us. By denying us knowledge of their runes. By denying us touching of our own artifacts. They teach Elves, they declare Kha and Humans honorary Dwedmar while worshiping a whitewashed statue that looks like a hangover-me!" Kóri Stormbreaker immediately fluttered his eyelashes towards the Queen, and Grudgebeard commented with a shug. "You do look like Belka." The Queen remained steadfast. She shifted the blade in her hand to show its flat edge, on which the gathered dwarves could see a set of runes glowing orange like the flow of magma. Runes unlike the circular runes of Arcadia, but resembling those decorating the flesh of the Doomforged. "Today, that has changed. Today, the first runed weapon was forged without the knowledge of the runelords, without their involvement, without heir approval. Propelled by nothing more but the knowledge we gathered. The knowledge we were given by friends and allies." She lifted the weapon high in her left hand. Its runes remained dormant with the same glow, though the Dwarves present could now see a pristine ruby etched into its crosguard, at the base of the runes. "A knowledge that we will share. A knowledge that we will pass down the generations to come, one that will not stick to the old, the decreipt, the corrupt and the lethargic! I hereby announce myself as the first Runelord independent of Arcadia and their lethargy, for I reforged the broken blade of Demagol and Archaem Doomforged. Behold: Bokkanym's Pride!" Koralon thrusted the blade even higher, shouting an Asgolian word, to which the ruby in the blade glew up with an orange light and soon unleashed a torrent of flames skywards. "Death to Urguan!" She shouted. "Freedom to the Dwedmar!" Many of the Dwarves present immediately offered the Kaz'Ulrah bloodied fist salute. They erupted in cheers and applause. Silverveins roared up with their battle cries. Goldhands echoed the word "Freedom!". Some Dwarves grumbled at the mention of Urguan, subtly noting it should have been "Death to Arcadia!" instead.

"It must 'ave been Zahrer "Hawkeye" Irongrinder." She stated, then quickly tugged her curtains closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiebe 2493 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Whispers of the speech gets to the trader and runesmith. "Shame ders still bad blood. even after war upon war, death of dwed at dwed hands. I would ave wanted peace or maybeh reconcile but it seems dat der will be none if our greed pushes our race tu extinction. Fer whut but petty runes." He throws his tools into a dark chest within the storehouse and walks to the Temple of Belka in Holm to pray and meditate. "Whut wuld our paragons say tu us if dey saw us now....."
