As oi wos sayen, der topic on der agenda beh a rules an' regulations proposal. Oi s'all provide each o' yer wid der proposal.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Dis proposal beh ter establish 'ow der Senate will proceed in practice, ter ensure a calm enviroment fer political debate. Oi s'all give yer all five stone minutes ter read eht.” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “Erhm? Question fer ya Lord Chancellor, Fros'beard? When would be a good toime fer ye to recieve ah proposal?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi s'all answer questions in a few stone minutes Rhaezaiil Doomforged. Fer now oi wish ter provide everywun a fair chance ter luuk ovah meh proposal.” Falk Irongut: “Ah've several quest'ns 'swell. Seems t'at much o' t'is document es nae clarified” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah have a clarification request t'be made abou' de first article.” Halvard Frostbeard: “Oi didnae t'ink oi needed tae read….” Kronk Stormheart: “Yer document sucks arseh, basicalleh.” Alaric Grimgold: “'Clans which can prove they are active in Urguan Society may have a guaranteed representative.' Dah seems a bit vague donnit?” Axel Ireheart: “Et took meh loike twu minutes tae read et, n' ahm n' Ire'eart. Relax evereh'bodeh, read et n' give over.” Dhaen Grandaxe: “Bare bones, but at least d'ere's bones” Falk Irongut: “Aye, ahm o' ah mind wit' Alaric. Which es sayin somet'in, behn some time since weh 'greed ohn aneht'in” Aghal Frostbeard: “Again, dis es naet yet der toime fer questions.” Kronk Stormheart: “Tat's whot yer confused aboot?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi s'all answer everywun o' yers, w'en der toime comes. Oi ask yer 'old dem fer now!” Kronk Stormheart: “Oi voteh Aghal gets himself ah bettah chair. Tat teng fookin' sucks.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Vetoed.” Falk Irongut: “Ah vote weh get better chairs, ahm tae old ta beh sittin ohn bare stone” Aghal Frostbeard: “Der c'air is vereh noice.” Kronk Stormheart: “Tes wholeh teng jus' seems toh meh Aghal wants toh seem important.” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “May I bring da proposal o' da Dorkadrel before da Senate?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alroite, time fer debate, fer which oi s'all allot twenteh stone minutes. Oi fink et's bes' oi answer questions wun boi wun, goin in Clan Alphabetical ordah. T'ose wid questions, make et known boi standen. Rhaezaiil Doomforged, nae is naet der toime fer other proposals, but if we 'ave toime yer may do so aftah. Aneh wid questions, please stand, otherwoise we s'all proceed.” Alaric Grimgold: “Okay… So y'gonna answer wot y'mean by dis first part 'ere?” Aghal Frostbeard: “If yer 'ave a question, please stand.” Mica Goldhand: “Falk es standin.” Falk Irongut: “Ahm alreadeh standin yeh focker, get ta lettin meh ask teh quest'ns, aye?” Aghal Frostbeard: “We s'all begin wid Alaric Grimgold, yer question. Debate s'all commence!” Alaric Grimgold: “Wot do dis first paht mean? Wot is de basis and measure by which we judge 'active in Urguan society'? Personalleh, ah believe we should lower de 'foive Dwarf' policy, as der have been maneh toimes where most o'our Senate could hardly accumulate does numbers. But ah agree der must be some basis o'active in de society as a whole.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Lord Grimgold, dis is alreadeh in der Articles o' Urguan, frankleh et's jus' copyen wot wos in dere an' moved tuu der bill. I ask dat all yer rest keep yer questions relevant tuu der new stuff, w'ich fer clariteh is in der Regulations section. But realleh et's people w'o are known ter beh around der citeh, around in general fer a sufficient amount o' toime, say five stone hours in a stone week. Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi probleh s'ould 'ave made dat clearer befure, regarden der rules section.” Falk Irongut: “W'o determines w'o es ahn es nae active?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Falk Irongut, yer will wait until yer are addressed.” Kronk Stormheart: “Aghal get yer arseh off yer high horseh and answer 'is question.” Aghal Frostbeard: “In due toime.” Alaric Grimgold: “Okay, who determines who is active and when do de second and third senator apply?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Der Grand Chancellor.” Falk Irongut: “Why should I? Ef t'is es s'posed ta beh ah room ta address public concern ahn 'ave conversta'n about policeh, why should I nae speak up when ah've relevant statement ta make?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Because otherwise we 'ave anarcheh oi s'all answer yer concerns in toime but oi wish ter address Alaric Grimgold's first unless 'e yields der floor.” Dhaen Grandaxe: “Nae, 'tis a guud idea tu 'ave mo' open debate. Anarchy will not com' fro' simpleh 'avin an open floor debate” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alaric Grimgold, duu yer 'ave anehfin else ter add?” Falk Irongut: “Aye, ahn yeh cannae debate openleh ef evereh'ne 'asta sit ahn wait fer yeh ta call t'eir name loiek weh're childrehn ehn ahn umreh schoolhouse.” Kronk Stormheart: “Aghal yer actin' loikeh ah roight *****, get yer arseh off yer high horseh.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah believe dis missive has lots o'corrections t'make before et is ready fo' approval. Ah believe et would be a good oideah to consult wit' Lord Irongut and myself privately ah some point fo' political advise on some o'dese points, but ah yield de floor.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Yer may speak, Falk Irongut.” Falk Irongut: “T'ank yeh kindleh yer magesteh. Now, meh first concern es along teh same loikes 's Alaric, w'at explicit definit'n 'ave yeh givehn fer w'at constitues ahn active clan ehn Urguan? Teh term active es used bot' 'ere ahn in teh official article addressin teh senate, but ets nae exactleh clear w'at ets defined 's” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi am sorreh Falk, but oi fink et's best weh discuss dis at length another toime, as oi've said befure dis is naet realleh relevant tuu der bill as all o' der rules section is in der articles. Per'aps instead oi s'ould propose a new bill constiuting onleh der regulations section.” Falk Irongut: “Are weh not 'ere ta discuss t'is paper yeh just passed out ta us?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi wos goin ter 'ang dis up, aye, but der regulations section is der new stuff, der rules stuff is alreadeh in der articles. Debaten et is pointless as et 'as alreadeh been debated on an agreed on, at der final Grand Council meetin. Voted fer, boi yer Clan nae less.” Dhaen Grandaxe: “Den should yeh not quote it directleh? Why the summary?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Der Articles part es quoted directleh, 'owevah oi 'ave an amended bill fer yer inspection.” Falk Irongut: “Shite, didnae realize weh were su daft ta pass such poorleh written legislat'n, I'll 'aveta give Grimdal ah proper less'n. Vereh well, I take several issues wit' yeh Regulations sect'n 'swell. Ah could list evereh specific issue, but ah t'ink all o' t'em could beh summed up ehn ah single statement: T'is addit'n seems ta meh ta beh not'in more t'en useless, human-like bureaucraceh t'at serves not'in more t'en ta impead teh progress'n o' teh court and supress teh abiliteh o' teh senators ta fulfill t'eir dutehs.” Aghal Frostbeard: “In wot ways duu yer fink et impedes progress, examples please. Yer may wish ter sum et up in a vague statement, but oi wish fer specifics 'ere Falk.” Falk Irongut: “Fer instance. T'is requirement t'at senators must arrive at ah certain time t'a t'ese meetins 'r else t'eir voice'll nae beh 'eard es outrageous” Aghal Frostbeard: “I disagree, I fink Senator's w'o arrive promptleh obviousleh care about representen dere clans, dan t'ose dat arrive lateleh. Additionalleh, oi am lenient on t'ose w'o give notice o' absence. Such as half a stone hour, er a stone hour late.” Falk Irongut: “Darek tried ta implement somet'in similar 'fore ahn et was just 's outrageous t'en, teh right ta beh represented should nae come wit' ah fuckin time limit, sometimes dwed run inta issues, 'r more important mattahs come up ahn t'ey're late, yet yeh would gu su far 's ta remove t'eir natural right ta 'ave t'eir voice 'eard for t'is?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye, dey are welcome ter inform meh. Dey are welcome ter send replacements, er if absoltueleh necessareh may approach meh an explain, oi understand w'en it is impossible ter show on time wit'out course to rectifoi dis.” Falk Irongut: “Shouldn't be lenient 't all. All teh clans wit' seats should beh 'llowed ta speak when t'eir representative es present, nae mattah ef t'ey're late 'r nae. Ets ah right t'at yeh seek ta infringe upon wit' t'is absurd time limit.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ter beh 'onest Falk, oi don' imagine dat meetin's will last longah dan a stone 'our.” Falk Irongut: “Sometimes t'ey will, when important mattahs 're at 'and, but t'ats nae teh point. Shouldn't mattah 'ow long meetins run.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Again, oi will allow notice o' a stone 'our, but frankleh showen up latah dan dat is unacceptable. Falk oi fink Axel wont's ter say somefin. If yer dunnae moind surrenderen der floor...?” Falk Irongut: “Damn foolish t'ing ta say, t'inkin the rights o' teh clans should beh fit ta ah schedule. Ef axel wishes ta speak, let 'im speak, t'is bullshite 'bout callin names ahn ceedin teh floor es anot'er issue I take.” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “The Doomforged stand with the honorable Clan Irongut on this matter. Would not 'urt to see more time an' t'ought put into our laws and official documents.” Falk Irongut: “better formatt'n too, but t'ats anot'er mattah” Mica Goldhand: “Agreed. Time fames are onleh going ta cause issues, ye sometimes never ken what will happen and emerancehs crop up.” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “I would offer my own services if such are needed.” Falk Irongut: “Anehw'o, lets 'ear from axel, aye?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye.” Axel Ireheart: “Firstleh ah would loike tae say, as Aghal alreadeh explained, barrin' tae regulations ov' w'ot occurs at a senate meetin'. Tae Senate itself 'as alreadeh been passed, as a replacement fer tae Clan Council. Suh complainin' abou' et now beh pointless, wehn a vast majoriteh ov' clans voted et entu tae Articles ov' Urguan. Secondleh, tae rebuke Alaric's earlier statement, ef a clan cannae even muster up foive dwed, tehn t'ey shouldnae beh given a seat, considerin' tae Articles state ye need 5 dwed tae form a clan. Over are teh days ov' clans musterin' up foive people, gettin' a council seat tehn disappearin' from Urguan whoilse a sole member ov' tae clan remains tae use ets power tae further tehre own agenda's. Thirdleh, ef yer bloodeh late, ye can send a representative, 'er 'ave tae ******* RESPECT fer our governmental institutions tae given notice ov' yer absence. Ef ye wish fer a seat in Urguan's government, ye show our beautiful Gran' Kingdom tae ******* RESPECT et deserves by showin' up tae represent yer clan, n' our people. Tae provision es set tehre suh t'at clans, such as tae Doomforged, w'o showed up at tae end ov' tae last bloodeh meetin' jus' tae cast a vote, wit'out offerin' aneh debate 'er opinion, tae nae longah beh able tae do t'at.” Falk Irongut: “Es t'at nae t'eir right wit' ah seat ohn teh senate? Ta cast votes fer t'eir clan as t'ey see fit? Why should t'eir right beh outright revoked because t'ey were late?” Axel Ireheart: “Ef a topic es deemed important enough, tae Gran' Chancellor will dedicate moar' toime to et, such as en tae last meetin' wehn 'e did suh. Ets nae a bloodeh issue. Tae point of et es tae ensure weh nae sittin' 'ere fer 'ours debatin' n' arguin' amongst ourselves, n' such t'at weh actualleh git' shit done. ” Aghal Frostbeard: “Dat is der t'ought be'ind meh regulations, aye.” Axel Ireheart: “Because yer vote es worthless, ef ye show up late. Ef ye nae participate en conversation, 'er even feckin' listen to yer fellow councilmembers n' dwed, w'y should ye 'ave tae roight tae show up n' cast a vote, w'ich benefits yer own vested interests, n' nae t'at ov' Urguan's interests.” Falk Irongut: “Weh can start ah meetin whenevah ets scheduled ahn let teh senators show up 's t'ey're able without/ punishin them for tardiness by Revoking their rights to represent their clan! Ef keepin ohn schedule es su important ta yeh surely/ some ot'er measure can beh found t'at doesnae bar aneh senator from teh rights granted ta ehm. Ets ah poor idea all around, I say, 'avin ah time limit, but t'ats nae meh onleh issue wit' t'ese regulat'ns. Fer instance, let us examine teh difference 'tween moderated ahn unmoderated debate? W'at purpose does t'at serve ot'er t'en ta add complicat'ns ta teh way teh senate runs.” Axel Ireheart: “Ef yer goin' tae beh late, send a bird to tae Gran' Chancellor, explain yer absence. N' ef ye can, send anotha' clan membah en yer place. But ef ye show up late, n' a nae mean foive minutes, ah mean towards tae end ov' tae bloodeh meetin', simpleh tae cast a vote, showin' up un-announced n' wifout anehting constructive tae add. Tehn personalleh, ah dunnae believe ye deserve a vote, 'er tae represent yer clan n' people. Cos et shows ye nae give a single ****.” Dhaen Grandaxe: “Ah' can du mebe 30 mo' stone minutes ov' dis den' ah've gotta go” Falk Irongut: “Yeh personal feelins 'bout folks attitude ta folks bein late shouldnae determine whether 'r nae t'ey're allowed ta exercise t'ose rights afforded t'em ehn our own government. T'ats frankleh ahn exceptionalleh authoritarian approach ta governance t'at puts true fear inta meh 'earts when considahrin teh future o' Urguan. But ah believe weh've bot' made our points ohn teh mattah, aneht'in yeh wish ta say Axel 'fore ah move ohnta meh next object'n in ta t'ese regulat'ns?” Axel Ireheart: “Nae ahm good, unless ye bring up anotha' objection t'at a disagree wiv'.” Falk Irongut: “Aye t'en let meh move ohn. As ah ment'ned previousleh, ah alsu take issue wit' teh distinguishment 'tween moderated ahn unmoderated debates. Frankleh ah see teh moderated debates as ahn avenue fer not'in but added frustrat'n fer senators.” he holds up a single hand “Now, Im nae saying 'aving some sort o' structure ta our discuss'ns es ah bad idea, but 'avin ta gu 'round ehn alphabetical ordeh, bein able ta speak ohnleh when called upon, es needlessleh complex ahn will not serve ta support teh flow o' debate. Aghal Frostbeard: “Hrmm… Okeh, given dat weh seem ter beh at ahn impasse and we've been 'ere long enough. Oi suggest weh postpone dis debate until der nex' meetin, in der mean toime oi s'all 'ope ter rectifoi concerns in anehways oi can an' improve der proposal.” Falk Irongut: Ah, roight t'en ef weh're nae votin ohn t'is vers'n, t'en I'll save teh rest o' meh complaints” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye, oi s'all now formalleh end dis meetin'. Oi 'ope ter 'ave a proposal readeh nex' toime, dat s'all 'opefulleh beh satisfactoreh ter all partehs.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “'Are we done?” Dhaen Grandaxe: “Nex' toime can weh talk o' changin' the chairs in 'ere tuu? Shoite makes meh feel loike ah'm a' beardling 'gain” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “Quite the firs' Senate gatherin' ay?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Dismissed!” End of Transcript Edited April 22, 2022 by Office of the Grand Chancellor 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debate s'all begin, unless nae wun 'ere as any fing ter say meanen we can move on ter voten.” Agnar Grandaxe: “No need to vote on somethin' already signed.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Der articles state otherwoise, nae wun wishes ter say anefin?” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Ah think we can all appreciate wha' uh fine treaty thissy were, Considerin' soon aftah i's implementation Oren has collapsed entirely.” Aghal Frostbeard: “A vote shall begin, goin in alphabetical ordah.” Peace of Eastfleet Proposed by Grand Chancellor Aghal Frostbeard AYE Sen.

Morul Irongrinder, Clan Irongrinder Passed unanimously. Aghal Frostbeard: “Now, Grimdal Irongut's proposal.You may speak, Grimdal.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Aight, Oi worked uut dah beginning 'o ah proposal t'at's meant tuh outline dah concept 'o dah Navy and dah Admiralteh. As 'o yet et's all been ah rat'er vague legal domain 'n oi 'ope tah give et some legislative shape. Yeh can ask questions ef yeh got t'em. Et's alsuh open fer additional proposals en dah future.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oh an' twenteh stone minutes o' debate may commence.” Balor Ireheart: “W'y isn't t'e navy under t'e legion. Te' legion is te' millitary of urguan. And te' navy is part of te' millitary.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Navy has nevah been undah dah legion. Till nuw ets been ah semi-private endeavour ran boi dah Admiral, ahn empty position with nay outline yet dah official command over ships et seems. Now et's bein' outlined.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah will say, ah do believe Dwedsmarines, should technically be Legionnaires, and de Lord Grand Admiral should essentially be an aquatic version o'de Lord Grand Marshal.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Seems logical tuh me.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Suh yeh mean tah educate all future generations 'o Legionnaires en Naval combat? Can be discussed wiff dah Grand Marshal.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Is Atandt still d'e Grand Admiral or is d'at position vacant?” Alaric Grimgold: “Grimdal is the Lord Grand Admiral. De one makin' de Proposal.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Correct.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ah fink Atandt resoined?” Alaric Grimgold: “Atandt resoigned from his Clan ah heard, and woz hangin' wit' Torsun in Archisdorf.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Hm, well I 'ave no problem wit' us 'aving a navy branch o' our military. D'e only issue I 'ave is d'e lack of use wit' our navy.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Wha', with them pirates abou'?” Alaric Grimgold: “My issue is dah our soldiers are drawn from a very small pool, and considerin' Legionnaires and Dwedsmarines as two different militaries moight make our military weaker. Ah believe we should train Legionnaires on naval combat to serve as both.” Balor Ireheart: “Agreed.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Dah use 'o our Navy es indeed limited tuh certain political scenarios. Yet oi see t'at nay as ah reason tah remain unprepared. Cuz t'ats wot weh were: Nay prepared at all. Nay tah face dah foe, nor tah rebuild.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi recognise der arrival o' der Senator frum Clan Gold'and.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Oi can see all Legionnaires trained in Naval combat, yet oi see merit in special educations for Navy.” Danika Goldhand: “Sorry I'm late!” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Like uh academy?” Gwydion Ireheart (Spectator): “Ef someone plans on makin' use o' t'e navy, an' leadin' expeditions an' t'e like, makin' t'e navy an organized branch o' t'e military with regular trainin' sessions would be good. But onleh if someone's gone make sure of et.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Nay all Legionnaires 'ave toime tah train fer both Legion 'n Navy, in diving, cannoneering, sailing, and suh forth. Exactleh. Oi go' Blueprints en dah work fer an outpost put tuh such use. Tah educate on Naval Engineering and such, as well as combat.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah hab' long recommended an Urguani Academy. T'teach both civilian arts, 'swell as military strategy and engineerin'.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “T'at wud beh dah job 'o dah Admiral.” Balor Ireheart: “T'at is a good idea.” Kronk Stormheart: “Navyh es still ah military theng.” Balor Ireheart: “'Ow bout we put te' navy under t'e legion and legionaries train in both water and land training.” Kronk Stormheart: “Should beh ah specialoized branch en taeh Legiohn, en moi opinion.” Balor Ireheart: “And te' admiral position is like te' position of commander.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah believe dey should still have der own commander. Where de Marshal will lead field battles, and de admiral naval and landing battles.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “How maneh Legionnaires gunny choose t'specialise inty uh Dwedmarine thoug Migh' take some incentives.” Balor Ireheart: “We can't take legionaries.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Oi dun't count on ah grand amount. Oi count on ah dedicated yet smoll gruup.” Alaric Grimgold: “Larger, nicer quarters at de port? Maybe some extra pay?” Agnar Grandaxe: “Aye, s'ould just 'ave a branch under d'e Legion. Allowin' Legionnaires to be part o' bot' bodies of d'e military.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Oi dun' loike the idea o' da Marshal 'n Admiral bein' on equal footin', seems loike et will create friction en some situations where dey dun' agree. Which woul' result en total failure o' ou'a forces.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Lemme sketch dah situation, both proposal and out of proposal.” Balor Ireheart: “Agreed.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Aye, ah also 'gree with Thulmyr.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Oi've go' unrelated permission tah construct ah Naval outpost down dah coast. Said coast will be used tah construct ships, dock t'em 'n practice dah applicable arts 'o Engeneering.” Alaric Grimgold: “Et should be connect via ferry to de Capital Port. Ah do have a proposal t'present after ye', but a large part of it is de fact dat all our scattered settlements have no easy way t'get there.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “T'at being said, moi appointment can beh easily combined wiff such. Such education 'n construction of ships. So even ef Dwedsmarine are under dah Legion, dah construction can't be counted under dah Legion.” Kronk Stormheart: “Oi donnaeh careh whoh makes taeh ships. As long as oi get taeh ships.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Oi loike yer plan Grîmdal, bu' et es a matta' o' efficiency. Oi loike the proposal o' da Admiral bein' a commander en da legion, en charge o' their own branch.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Thulmyr, d'at is w'ere ye' specifiy in d'e documents o' legislation o' direct specifics in w'at d'e Grand Admiral 'as more sway over against d'e Grand Mars'al. W'ich is d'at d'e Grand Admiral only 'as command and say within d'ings dealin' wit' navy.” Alaric Grimgold: “So wot is de decision o'de debate? Dat de proposal needs more ammendments before we should vote?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Et appears we are at an empasse? Would yer like ter proceed tu a vote Grimdal, or s'all we postpone der proposal?” Balor Ireheart: “We vote.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “'Fore we move on Grimdal- ah'd like t'see uh increase in teh budget fer teh Legion, if we're gunny have teh Dwedsmarine as uh branch undy teh Legion.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah agree.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Othywise yea couldy ask fer uh separate budget.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Fair.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Et's probleh best dat is 'andled in another meetin Lulubelle, as dat's et' own matter entireleh. In anotha proposal.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Aye 'course.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Grimdal, oi believe we s'all move ontu a vote?” Alaric Grimgold: “Why vote? 'E said 'e was goin' to rework de proposal.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Vote on wot? Dah proposal ain't passin' unadapted.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Okeh, der proposal shall beh postponed fer another toime. Alaric Grimgold, yer proposal.” Note: Motion Delayed. Alaric Grimgold: “Friends, Dwarves, countrymen. Fo' too long have mah dreams been plagued bah a great image o'our country in distress. Our shared dangers ended in a victory fo' us, but we were allowed to fall to such a point by de failing and crumblin' o'our own infrastructure due to de mismanagement o'de realm. As such, ah believe et is toime dat we begin to revitalize de Grand Kingdom. Whoile de elites benefitted from old proposals, ah believe et is toime dat de Senate serve de commonfolk and travellers o'our land. Our roads, fo' example. Most o'dem will lead y'to some abandoned settlement o'old homestead, and many wanderers get lost on de way to our great capital. In no Great Kingdom should such be de case! We must emphasize de construction capabilities o'de Dwedmar!” Aghal Frostbeard: “Are yer finished Alaric?” Alaric Grimgold: “Aye, aye, let dem debate de merits o'de proposal, but ah believe de merits speak fo'demselves.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Twenteh stone minutes o' debate can begin.” Balor Ireheart: “'Ow ye going to pay for t'is.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Och Gods, why'sit centre-aligned? Please make teh documen' align t'teh left.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah have more building resources den sin. Ahn have handled most o'dese construction projects bah mahself.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Oi agree with Lulubelle.” Alaric Grimgold: “Additionally ah ahm not ah Gold Clan without reason.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Soh Alaric, yer nae goin' tuh use Urguan's moneh for dis project?” Kronk Stormheart: “Oi'm foineh wit taeh project, but ef oi cannaeh get money from taeh kingdom toh pay moi legionnaires but yeeh get money fer yer roads oi'm gonnaeh beh pissed off.” Alaric Grimgold: “Et depends. Do y'truthfully see nae reason dah Urguan should revitalize our infrastructure? Are y'admittin' ye wish nae part in de reconstruction o'our great Kingdom?” Danika Goldhand: “The Gold'ands will support our brother wit' our own resources ef needed.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Do not 'ave any issues wit' d'is bill, d'ough I do find interest in 'ow ye' will pay for d'e materials needed for suc' a large project. Not only d'is, believe d'at we it s'ould be more just a public farm rat'er d'an just private.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Anwer da damn question straight, Alaric. Do yer intend tuh 'ave the Gran' Kingdom fund dis endeavor?” Alaric Grimgold: “Der should be many farms. Public and proivate. Wit' ahleast eighteh percent bein' public. Wot would ye need to fund? Ah already told ye ah have all de buildin' materials?” Balor Ireheart: “Will it be funded by te' kingdom aye or nae.” Kronk Stormheart: “Ten nay. Roight 'aveh fun wit yer littleh project.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Tha's da answer oi was lookin' for, if yer got all tha' es needed yerself, oi see nae reason tuh object.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Ah recognise teh 'mportance o'thissy public works, but who'll be doin' teh work?” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah apparently will be doin' a lot o'de work, though ah most likely can enlist de aide o'de Lord Architect, though in truth, de project is open to aneh who wish to aide. And ah extend a gracious offer to aneh who wish to work fo'de betterment o'our Grand Kingdom. T'fight when asked is but one aspect o'de loyalty a Dwed must possess, but der is required necessary maintenance upon our homeland.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi imagine workers will beh volunteers, Alaric?” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah can pay dem. But et seems odd that ah be de onleh clan willin' to pay fo' de required work done fo' de upkeep of our homeland. Be it wit' Karzul o'with mah sweat.” Balor Ireheart: “Its nae ood. Ye broug't te' idea forward.” Kronk Stormheart: “Ef et's ah proivateh endeavour o' yers oi'veh naeh issueh.” Alaric Grimgold: “D'ye nae also use de roads? Do y'nae also live in dis kingdom?” Kronk Stormheart: “Jus' donnaeh want money goin' toh et ef oi cannaeh get two 'undred minaeh ah week toh pay moi legion lads.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Well, Kronk oi spose yer could ask Legionnaires if dey want ter 'elp, a lot o' Dwed 'elped construct our fort if yer recall.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ye should be able t'get such. Ah hab' nebah blocked such a proposal and infact have always been pro-increasin' legion pay.” Kronk Stormheart: “Oi knohw Alaric, oi will put up ah missiveh aboot et.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah dinnae see how de Kingdom not providin' ye wit' money we certainly have has anehthing t'do wit' de necessary upkeep required to keep de Kingdom not lookin' loike crap.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Dat would 'ave ter beh bought up tuu der Grand Keng.” He told Alaric. Alaric Grimgold: “Why de Grand King not payin' de Legionnaires?” Agnar Grandaxe: “Probably so we can rebuild our treasury as we were recently in a war, a war to w'ich we 'ad to use a lot of our mina.” Alaric Grimgold: “Our Legionnaires should still come first. Dey fought said war.” Balor Ireheart: “Aye.” Kronk Stormheart: “Per'aps Hekkaes will start makin' taeh kingdom someh moneh again.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Or.. Per'aps 'e s'ould be askin' d'ese questions to d'e Grand King 'imself not d'e Senate.” Alaric Grimgold: “We hab' money, o'atleast, we had money. Ah knae de last King spent de treasury on way t'maneh buildin' projects fo'other settlements, but we should still have reserves.” Alaric Grimgold: “We had some thirteen o'so thousand minae last ah had heard.” Balor Ireheart: “De' last king spent most reserve mina.” Alaric Grimgold: “Et seems we have more work den expected in convertin' de Kingdom back to et's peace time duties.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Debate time beh up, Alaric s'all weh move onto a vote?” Post-War Restoration Act Proposed by Senator Alaric Grimgold AYE Sen.
