A Priest’s Response to the Greenskin Extermination Grudge

 

 

PREFACE

 

Recently, the Grand Kingdom of Urguan has been rather hectic with the war against orcs and the bombing of the Obsidian Throne. The dwarven race is in chaos. From this chaos came the Greenskin Extermination Grudge. I, Vergil Goldhand, Priest of Da Kirkja Dverga, am in opposition of this grudge. Although my voice is small and few compared to the opposing masses, I write nonetheless. I implore every last dwed to read this and heed my words.

 

ON THE LOGIC OF THE GRUDGE

 

The logic behind the grudge is rather faulty and blinded by vengeance and rage. First off, as the representative of the orcs, Dominus Fiil’Yar, has claimed, the Orcs do not support the actions of Skalpboila’Raguk on the day of the bombing. This makes his action solely on his own volition, and not the will of Krugmar itself. If the bombing was known to the leadership of Krugmar, no orc would have entered the throne room to risk their lives. On the subject of lives, no dwed was killed in the attack, so why must we commit mass murder in response? Yes, the Under King, Utak Ireheart, was harmed, but there are better alternatives. The extermination of orcs is an abhorrent overreaction over the actions of a singular orc.

 

ON RELIGION AND THE GRUDGE

 

The Greenskin Extermination Grudge, if resolved, would be a great disturbance to Yemekar’s balance. The orcs are Yemekar’s creation, just as we are. We dwed were tasked by Yemekar himself to protect his creations, not to commit genocide on them. War is inevitable, but this grudge is not. You take out a large cog in the machine, the whole machine will fall apart.

 

ON SETTLING GRUDGES

 

Don’t think I don’t want to see the orcs punished for the attack, I just believe there is a simpler solution. As seen in Fiil’Yar’s response, the Rex is gone and the leadership of Krugmar is falling apart. I believe it is the best course of action to take Fiil’Yar’s offer and take her arm to settle the grudge. I am aware that a grudge is a grudge, and there’s no changing that, but the violence we create will only hit us back in the future.

 

Signed,

Vergil Goldhand, Priest of Da Kirkja Dverga

Tha dwed will know when tha right moment to end the grudge es as we ‘ave been blessed by Yemekar’s hand.” the seer would then return to meditate under his tree “Orcs are beings of chaos if they want to be beasts then we will endulge them. Their nation will be stripped and their folk will roam tha lands fer scraps. Extermination might net be tha answer but a’ ‘ard ‘and es neccesareh. Onleh through tha destruction of tha nation of Krugmar can Yemekar balance be achived as tha ideals of that savage nation es one tha fuels tha needs ef Khorvad through bloodshed, savagery, and slavery”
