Pancakehz 1697 Share Posted September 4, 2022 A Harsh Reality to Face [!] A gathering of Dwedmar as they speak in favor of Grand King Bakir Ireheart. Dear Ulfric the Spineless, It is said that every time a baby cries, a Frostbeard thinks of a new way to dissent from their kin. For a while, I did not believe this to be true after befriending some of my oldest enemies in Garrond and Hamnil Frostbeard. Now I see that when a Frostbeard is born, Yemekar flips a coin to decide whether they will be honorable or deceitful. For the two I now call friends, and many more within your ranks, I can deduce that Yemekar’s coin landed on the honorable side. The same cannot be said for you. You claim to speak for the people but how can you? You speak only for yourself, as your own clan does not even share your point of view. If you were educated by a true Frostbeard, you would know that they do not care who is King. For it is not the singular Dwed with a crown that makes the Kingdom, but the Dwedmar within. Is it not deceitful to conspire with your council to betray your most steadfast and loyal clan? Is it not deceitful to run from an honor duel yet claim to be honorable? Is it not deceitful to then banish one who called you friend in the past over a petty squabble? Is it not deceitful to backtrack on your oaths to our allies and cause nearly all to turn their backs on our beloved Kingdom? These are the actions of none but yourself, Ulfric. One would think that after such a fumble of foreign affairs, you would have learned from your mistakes and turned from the path of deceit. Yet the more I see your actions and hear your words I realize this is not so. Not only have you failed to learn, you continue down this path without remorse. Even now you seek to conspire against your King and push for his resignation. During your reign, we suffered losses from not only war but internal struggle. Our own kin suffered at the hands of your mistakes and my nephew inherited your mess and managed to clean it up. Grand King Bakir not only improved the way of life in Urguan, but he nurtured it with every fiber in his being, constantly striving to better himself and the lives of his people. You return after absent years in the mountains and claim to know the true way of things in our halls. You claim that the Kingdom is crumbling and that we are weak. This is not only an insult to the Grand King himself, but an insult to all Dwedmar who have worked together to better this Kingdom. Not once during your time as a senator and advisor to my nephew did you go to him about these reforms or propose them in the senate. Not once did you bring them before the King's Council nor attempt to push through these reforms under your own reign. Perhaps your plague is not deceit but rather hypocrisy, for you find so easily the fault in the eye of another while failing to recognise the fault in your own. If you wish to see reforms and changes in our Kingdom, grow a beard like a real dwed and bring your proposals to the King or any appropriate body of legislature. Abandon this cowardice and instead face the harsh reality of the situation. The idea that a new Grand King reinvigorates our kin into drastic reforms is foolhardy. All you will see is a faux revival of life and involvement by those who seek power during the transition of the crown. If you want to see the change, then help us bring it about through unity instead of seeking to depose the Grand King. It is a foolish endeavor and one which we will not support you in. You know where to find us, Ulfric. Propose these reforms, if you have the beard for it, for we stand united behind the Grand King and our Grand Kingdom. There is only one way forward for our people, Ulfric. Unity among ALL Dwedmar is the surest way to achieve everything we wish to see come to fruition. Abandon your foolishness and join your kin.
