A Drunk Dwarf in an Empty Tavern

[Fimlin 1997]

The dwed slumped drunkenly over the expanse of table before him. The hour was long past midnight and the tavern had been closed for- in fact the tavern had barely even opened. And for that reason a tired and low-spirited Fimlin chose his lonely seat in the back of the Bearded Lady. The Under-Realm had been doing fairly well, the Legion was on the rise, and there were many plans Fimlin had laid out for the success of the dwedmar. But it wasn’t enough, the dwedmar remain far from the vision he had for their prosperity. The state of the nation had all the hallmarks of the failed Urguan state before, and this troubled Fimlin dearly. With a burst of drunken anger and self-loathing, Fimlin began to speak to himself in the tavern;

 

“T’is is fock’n madness, all of it t’is load of ‘orsehoite tha’ weh’ve, tha’ ah’ve gotten us into.”

 

“This is nae wot ah intended fer me kin, bloodeh ‘ell. The Under-Realm was supposed to be different t’en the Grand Kingdom, and ‘ere ah am lead’n down the same path.”

 

“Tryin’ to rebuild ah fallen administration all ah ended up doin’ was expanden the reach, an’ control of the Urguan government. And all tha’ ‘as done is place ah chokehold over our people.”

 

“We’ve become ah government tha’ exists only to say “Nae” or “Don’t” an’ offer nothin’ bu’ emptiness to our people.”

 

“Ah cannae look a young beardlin’ in the eyes an’ tell him ‘ey can be w’oever ‘ey wants to, an’ go and do as ‘is heart takes him. Nae instead all ah can say is “Nae, weh’ve not got an Engineer’s guild, but ye can join the Legion, the Legion is vereh important to ensurin’ tha’ this system stays in place.”

 

“Ah may ‘ave grown up in the era of control, an’ large dwarven government, and those days are long gone. The large dwarven government focked up an’ is nothin’ but ah failed model.”

 

“Ah’ll be damned if ah let this go the way it ‘as in the past, ah’ll be damned if ah screw up this chance fer the resurgence of our people because ah had ah failure of imagination.”

 

“Ah spent ah fair ‘mount of me toime recently puttin’ resitrctions on dwarven freedoms. Bloodeh ‘ell ahm goin to spend the rest o’ me reign expand’n the liberties an’ freedoms of the dwedmar and nae longer the control an’ oppression.”

 

With the rant having ended, Fimlin’s drunken body let out a deep sigh before passing out on the table.

 

[[For those of you don't know, the Dwarven nation is struggling with activity at the moment and is under the threat of being removed as a nation. We have very little time to correct this and thus our plans for bringing a revival of the dwarves cannot pan out in time. I’d ask that anyone willing to come to the Dwarven capital Kal’Varoth please do and help us out, so that we may remain as one of the core communities on LotC. To get to the capital follow the signs that say Agnarum and or Urguan and the coords are x: -1075 and z: -858]]

Hekkaes shrugs, slowly shaking his head with sadness, hearing the news about his kin, he says “S’ite...we all dwarves belived en our unite’, but as Oi alwaes belived et was nae supposed tu be’ made under ane’t’en’ named afta’ da’ failed Kingdum eron Urguan...Moi kin’....”

How the **** is a primary race at risk of losing their capital? This is a massive ******* problem that needs to be corrected by the staff

The problem is that all nations are held to the same standard, which doesn’t sound like a problem, except that there is literally just not enough applications for orcs and dwarves to even compete in hard activity standards when compared to the flood of applications that humans and elves receive. A few days ago I checked the last 75 accepted applications, out of those there were 7 dwarves, 3 goblins, and 1 orc. With the current system it’s almost impossible for lower populated races to maintain a racial nation, so we either have to become mix raced like Sutica, never log off, or just die out.
