- A historical account of the events following the election and nomination of High King Thoak Goldhand after the impeachment High King Elect, Edel Silvervein -

 

The roads, forges, and mines soon fell silent as night fell upon the hold of Kal’Tarak. As workers retired, Clanlords convened at the meeting hall within the throne room to cast their vote on who would be the next High King of Kaz’Ulrah. Out of the many candidates for the throne, only one would be elected. And so it was Thoak who held the majority of votes for he had won their favor through his ancient wisdom and stances on issues within the kingdom. In the morning, the citizens of Kaz’Ulrah would soon hear of their newly elected High King. Though some would be disappointed in the outcome, many would be relieved and excited for the future of their kingdom. In the following hours, a proclamation was made before the entrance of the throne hall, and letters were sent regarding the results and coronation of the High King elect.

 

A copy of the letter would read the following:


“To the kinsmen of Kaz’Ulrah,

I have been informed of the Clanlord’s majority vote in nominating me, Thoak Goldhand, as High King of Kaz’Ulrah. Although this may come to a surprise to some, do not be disheartened by the decision made. Trust that Yemekar, Anbella, and the Brathmordakin guided these Khazadmar into making the right decision, and do trust that they too will lead me in divine guidance in forging the future path for Kaz’Ulrah. It is no rumor that I have not been seen for several years since the reign of High King Torvin. However, I have not been missing, but on a pilgrimage of reflection through the neighboring mountains beyond Garrond’s Vale. Although I have been away, I am quite aware of the problems and issues that us Khazadmar face. For those that have doubt in their mind or do not know of me, please take a moment and look around you. The works I have done for Kaz’Ulrah have been embedded permanently through the works of our clergy; the Ar Yemarin Anaros, preservation of ancestral  traditions, and Kaz’Ulrah as a whole. Like most elders among us, I was there during the official formation of Kaz’Ulrah, and the purification of corruption among our kin. I will not bend my knee to those wishing harm to our kin, nor will I offer those who promote heretical doctrines mercy. Do not fall into temptation or the lies spewed forth by the puppets of Khorvad, for they only seek the destruction of our great legacies, and the splintering of our kingdom. Lastly, to the former candidates; do know that the time to lead will come eventually. Do not wane in your efforts, and do not fall to madness or lies. Your endeavours will, and always will please the Forgefather and the Brathmordakin, for your work forms the backbone of the kingdom and gives those who are lost guidance.

 

THE CORONATION will be held in five ten days from now. All with good intentions are welcome to the coronation. I explicitly extend this invitation to our allies beyond our Realm, and those seeking good relations that will benefit Kaz’Ulrah. The Coronation will hold events such as a procession into the throne room, a ceremony and ritual headed by the venerable Morug Goldhand, and possibly High Prelate Nerak Frostbeard of our holy clergy, the Ar Yemarin Anaros in service to Yemekar, the Forgefather. The crown of our holy kingdom will also be revealed after years of being locked away in storage, and passed down as tradition tells. Following such ceremonies, a grand feast shall be held with food and drinks provided by our great brewmasters, and chefs. After the grand feast, a grand melee will be held in the old arena of Kaz’Ulrah outside the city gates. Anyone can enter this grand melee, however only Khazadmar may participate in the grand price. More will be announced soon!

 

Signed,
Thoak Goldhand
High King of Kaz’Ulrah, Lord of Kal’Tarak, First High Prelate of the Ar Yemarin Anaros, Clanfather of Clan Goldhand, Servant of the Brathmordakin
