PJTips. 278 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) 10th of the Sun's Smile, Year 133 ((18th June 2023)) Conan would clear his throat, before speaking to a crowd gathered in the square For the sake of this Grand Kingdom, I shall not waste time in explaining my own credentials as my own appearance speaks volumes. I shall aim to speak clearly and concisely. As you gaze upon me, the beads on my beard and every wrinkle upon my face tells a story. And if I were to recount my past and mention every achievement I have accomplished, we could very well be here all day. For over 500 years, I have faithfully served this Grand Kingdom and dedicated myself to it with unwavering loyalty, just as many of you have. Yet throughout my lifetime, I have stood beside more than 20 Kings, where I offered my expertise and support. Not only this, I am a hero to some during the Eighteen Years' War, where I lost my own hand in the process. Yet despite these many years of experience, I had never sought out for power and quite frankly, it saddens my old dwarven soul to see this Kingdom in its current state to where I feel obligated to step forward to perhaps lead this Grand nation. I have purchased every gem, every mineral, every heirloom imaginable over my years as a merchant, and I have learnt that you cannot buy experience. If elected as Grand King, I shall use my expertise as a Goldhand merchant to embark the blessings of Armakak in refilling our coffers, resetting the cultural foundations, and steering our beloved Grand Kingdom towards a brighter future. It is fair to comment that Garedyn the Green has more selflessly served this kingdom than I in recent times. By his own regard, he's practically been running the kingdom throughout the past two reigns - and look what state we're in. He is too young to inherit a Kingdom in such a state. Urguan right now needs a calloused and grizzled old dwed such as myself. A veteran, a leader. My plans are clear and actionable, and my reign will be brief. Garedyn will be a good king when he runs at the next election, because I will ensure he inherits an Urguan with an enriched culture and treasury. That is all.

Oi respect ye greatleh as a greybeard" He nodded, and continued to organise many files and folders of the resources pouring into Urguan, and tax ledgers and so on in his office. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nae offense t' ye Garedyn, but maybe as steward ye' could've ensured t' kingdom has a gate system that actually works. And could ye' remind me who it was t'at rode to the paladins and summoned them? I appreciate all ye' do. But don't count yer chickens before t'ey hatch beardling." is what Conan would reply if he had heard this comment.

Thalgrim called over nearby with a grumble, fending off a raptor attacking Goimbar Goldhand with an axe. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
