A CALL FOR CHANGE

ᛖ-ᛒᛃᛟᛏᚺᚨ-ᚤᛟᛏᚺ-ᚤᛖᛗᚴᚨ

 


 

Few folk know of the origins of the clergy colors, the proud red, teal and gray. It is the herald of an ancient time with a young dwarven empire, ruled by the Silverbeard kings. Da Kirkja Dverga since the reign of Urguan himself have always led the service of the Brathmordakin with their ranks of proud priests. They were the vanguard of dwarven culture, leading the smithing of enchanted runes of power and rituals in honor of the gods. 

 

After the Great Collapse, when the Ironborn ripped apart our culture in service to the dark Lord Khorvad, the ancient clergy and its traditions were lost, only to be reformed in the realm of Asulon, it was a slow and hard effort to bring back the traditions of Khaz’A’Dentrumm. An effort which for many centuries, though we may loathe to admit it, was faulty. Many of my predecessors and much of my own reign has been plagued with a stagnant clergy, and often there are accusations lauded against our religious leaders that it is at their fault, but I have personally witnessed great leaders who had the holiness to lead but still struggled. 

 

An uncomfortable truth of da Kirkja Dverga is that we truly have no knowledge on what our ancient traditions are. The greatest rites of our faith are that of Rhuncraft, which has been either lost to dwarfdom or operated outside the clergy for as long as the clergy has existed. What rites the clergy does are infrequent, and it naturally leads to stagnancy. Da Kirkja Dverga is a fundamentally flawed order, which demands radical change in order to truly honor the gods.

 

Primarily the dwarven faith is one of labor and service, and to that end shall da Kirkja Dverga no longer proclaim ourselves the arrogant keepers of ancient rites which hardly have any effect on the worship and honoring of the Brathmordakin, but instead focus on placing worship into the daily lives of dwarves. Hold ourselves to a standard of action and progress in establishing Yemekar’s Balance, not just content with our own wisdom in matters that we never use in any meaningful way. From now on, all priests with little exception will be held to the standard of actively participating in a project, and at ev’ry clergy meeting will these projects be published. Beyond that, their basic duties shall be expanded to be in cooperation with the guilds and clans of Urguan to ensure that their activities are blessed with the rites of Khaz’A’Dentrumm and that dwedmar participating may learn how their labor honors the Brathmordakin. Priests and clergyfolk who fail to fall into this shall be removed of their rank and put into retirement until they are ready to accept duties of Khaz’A’Dentrumm once more.

 

Regarding standards, let it be declared a new practice that all current duties and projects of da Kirkja Dverga are to be publicly stated so that dwarfdom may hold their priestfolk to a standard.


 

High Prophet Norli Starbreaker: Charged to take Command of Yemekar and lead the restoration of the Workforce with the guidance of Yemekar.

 

Prelate Falk Irongut: Leading the Library project to sort out the library of Kal’Darakaan with its books.

Initiate Ossic Frostbeard: Major contribution to the studies of Ogradhad and restoration of the library.

 

Initiate Aghal Frostbeard: Aiding Ossic Frostbeard in the restoration of the library.


 

All other members of the clergy are officially retired; if they had previously held the rank of Priest or higher they are to be granted the honoriffic title of Zealot of Khaz’A’Dentrumm. They shall be beholden to no oaths to da Kirkja Dverga and are offered no unique respects other than gratitude for their service in the past.

 

If any who wish to rejoin the renewed efforts of da Kirkja Dverga, or any new beards wish to swear themselves into service and face the challenges and trials of Khaz’A’Dentrumm, they are instructed to meet the High Prophet or his Prelate.

Grimdal Irongut would have read the announcement before departing on a mission. He nodded, glad to see the meeting hadn't been empty promises and arrangements. He stroked his beard, visiting the library once more as he thought of the books they would soon recover. "Ogradhad believes." he said.
