Willstertheking2 1101 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2021 The Abdication of a Brewer [!] Within the Grand King’s Palace of Urguan’s capital city, Kal’Darakaan, whose stone hewn walls are carved into the mountain itself, Levian’Tol sits at an oaken table before a hearth. Like many of his brethren, a pipe rests between his lips while his dark gaze traverses the paper before him. Each word is inked carefully, each sentence finished without flourish. It was not every day that a King informs his kin of a voluntary change in regime. Denizens of Urguan and my kin, Though I was elected Grand King nae even an age ago, I am content with what I have done. I now realize I face a path that every monarch before I has had to tread - that of forcing one’s reign to continue or stepping down and allowing another to serve our Nation. Our past kings have chosen the former. They have refused to reject power that is not their own and our people have suffered for it. Yet, I seek to chase a different future. In my time, I have served Urguan with faith and loyalty from atop the Obsidian Throne. I have led the legion, brought renewed wealth and prosperity not just to the halls of Kal’Darakaan, but to all the lands of the Grand Kingdom. Urguan has grown strong with my incorporation of The Unified Domain of Vortice and the collapse of Krugmar into the Iron’Uzg fueled by dwedmar blades. The vast auxiliaries of our borders now stand to supplement the dwedmar legion each time we go into battle. The Crimson Edict, with their age-old grudge against slavery defeated for the foreseeable future, assist the Lord Justicar in discovering and stemming any outbreak of corruption against our nation. The Order of the Golden Lion stands ready in their Keep of Sunbreak to lash out against any incursion, be it from the void or otherwise. South Sedan, Vasoyevi, Stygian Hollow, Lubba’s Keep, and Myrine all stand proudly with the Grand Kingdom. Our enemies are theirs, and theirs ours. The Mages Guild has returned once more and the Remembrancer Library stands finally completed with scholars from all the lands of Almaris eager to study inside its tall walls. In the days of old, eons ago, we Dwedmar once had an Empire. I return to you now, my people, the closest we have come to that legacy in many stone years. I hope only that my successor has the intelligence to build on what I have done, rather than letting it regress to isolationism. Let Urguan swell with the riches I have gathered and flourish with the denizens I have brought in. To my kin, my dwedmar, the future of Urguan rests now in your hands. May the Brathmordakin guide your paths as they have guided mine. ~ Grand King, Levian’Tol Grandaxe [!] The Grand King would deliver a short hand version of this letter before his council before removing the Crown of Urguan, given to him from hands of Grand Emperor Rhewen Frostbeard himself, from his head and placing it infront of his Lord Justicar, Ulfric Frostbeard, as he left the Obsidian Throne for the last time to the sounds of his kins cheers. OOC: Spoiler I don't wanna pull an ******* and hold onto Kingship while I am not motivated so I am happy to give someone else the opportunity. I had a great time and did a lot in the short time I was King, had some of the best weeks of activity that Urguan has in over 12 months and a strong presence in the global politics of Almaris. I only see Urguan going up from where it is now which is why I am happy to take a step back and let someone else ride the wave upwards. 43 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry 1859 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Ulfric Frostbeard would sigh as he looked over the council room. He knew what was coming, and knew he was prepared for it. He bid his kin farewell, hoping he would see him very soon, and started to get to work. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemomancy 2791 Share Posted September 4, 2021 A Monarch of short reign smiled- what an odd thing for her. Perhaps she'll be off to visit her uncle soon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhaelena 585 Share Posted September 4, 2021 And so, as all stories end, so too did this one. Dhaen was not one to forsake her nature. When she first heard of the abdication of her son, it was whispered in a tavern in a far off land. After all, taverns were the same everywhere, a simple consistency a traveler could find in Almaris. The rumor was spoken with a warm tone, caressed by beer and hearty food. A smile crept onto the dwarven woman's lips at the news. So her son had stepped down. Not just that, but he had accomplished in his time more than any king in Dhaen's memory. That enough, was cause for a drink and perhaps a letter to Levian'Tol expressing her pride in his actions and being in his acquaintance. Urguan would surely miss their Brewer King. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morigung-oog 2212 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Valindra offered a solemn smile as word reached her. The 'thill decided she'd pay a visit to Levian'Tol and his hot dwarven wife sometime to offer ideas as to how to celebrate the freedom from the responsibility of leading a nation, especially since her own ideas involved copious amounts of drinking. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wand 932 Share Posted September 4, 2021 As news makes its way outwards among foreign courtiers, there was an elf who heard the news from those Halls himself. The elf scribes a letter to his longtime friend. "-As relinquishing the keys to manor which can no longer be maintained, I choose to accept a simpler life for what it is. Lived in love and ended in its time." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDanecker 857 Share Posted September 4, 2021 The Aurokanar Lord, and soon-owner of a new mercantile entity stands back and gazes upon the finished work of his laborers, a glorious grand design of his that would bring him and his allies great wealth and strength in the years to come. "T'a next king will nae tax me, that's ah'll ah care about. Nor threaten ta publicleh beat meh bloodeh ah'n piss on meh bodeh." he says to his fellow Businessmen in a haughty tone. Though, in his stony heart, that which had been called golden by so many, he believed Levian'tol to have been a good king, one that understood the burden of the Yoke, and one who was willing to spread himself thin to keep the Mountainhome from crumbling. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nooblius 5609 Share Posted September 4, 2021 High Prophet Norli, predecessor to Levian'Tol, smiles wearily as he arrives at the temple after the meeting. The Brewer King had kept up many of the Priest's policies and traditions, and advanced them even in many regards. He would hold Levian'Tol perhaps not a legendary king who felled evil empires, but no doubt a great king."Top three en recent history, nae doubt." 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Snipes 3542 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Bakir Ireheart smiled knowing although Levian didn't admit it, that he made a proper dwarf Empire. With such a thought he'd raise a drink to his good friend knowing they'd be sharing the same adventures soon enough.

Wyrvun 1252 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Chi quietly ponders, sitting at his desk before muttering simply "Here's to hoping the status quo doesn't change." The kha hums, going back to working on his religious scrolls. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
