" LUP'GAZIGAZH. LUP'LEYD. LUP'GENTHARUZ. LUP'RAGUK "

 

The Wargoth of Clan Raguk stood in the middle of the Clan Hall, staring upon the shrine of Gazigash, with an idol of Leyd in his right hand, and an idol of Gentharuz on his left. The declaration of an eternal grudge that could be settled in a duel was certainly something to be laughed at, but yet, the Wargoth was not laughing. No. For Raguks held grudges of their own. For Raguks not only remembered, but cherished history and wished for its continued record. For Raguks kept tabs on their own alliances and the meaning of their word. For Raguks cherished and welcomed the new, but respected and venerated the old. The Dâr ob Griizh are known for being honorable folk, servants of Leyd, Gentharuz and Gazigash. Strength, Smithing and Blood. And they lived by these standards, and died for these standards. Therefore, much like the eternal grudge of the Irehearts, another would be crafted. And the missive would be clear. Concise.

 

"We remember the time when the Grandaxe Kings of Urguan, in Axios, allowed the Orcish Clans to settle upon their deserts and make it their home. We remember the time when Raguks and Dwarves rode to battle together, and wrought havoc upon foes and darkspawn. We remember when we stood by Urguan upon the rebellion of the Frostbeards. We remember when we stood by our word, even as we were turned against. We honored it. And we remember, now, how we have been stabbed in the back. How word means little. How commitment isn't valued. And how honor is a fickle mistress in the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Bakir Ireheart and his gang do not represent the Grand Kingdom, and we, the Redskins, know this. We understand the value of the word of other clans, who took it upon themselves to form a new Urguan. To renew the honorable ways of the dwarves. However, what is said cannot be unsaid. What is dead may never die. What is any being without its word? Therefore, like the Irehearts of Urguan, the Raguks of Krugmar declare ETERNAL GRUDGE upon Clan Ireheart. But ours, is truly eternal."
