During the coronation of His Royal Majesty Balon, the dwarven people rallied in great numbers to join in the revelry with an ancient ally Norland, one which dwarves have fought alongside during the Wig Wars. The dwarves came bearing gifts to partake in the two people's many similarities.

 

Soon after the sacred ritual and the conclusion of the coronation, Ex-Grand King and Orc Slayer Bakir Ireheart saw a party of elves that arrived from the Vale. Due to the Vale abandoning Urguan during its siege against the Mori, Bakir “Orcs Blood” was enraged by the reminder of their betrayal and approached the party. Sending a punch toward an elf's armor, only denting the bronze plate the elven guards were wearing, Bakir issued a warning that their betrayal and the official grudge issued against them would not be ignored.

 

In response, The King of Norland saw an opportunity to posture to the crowd, quickly subduing Bakir with drawn blades. After breaking the Ex-Grand King's nose for punching the elf, he then saw fit to remove Bakir Ireheart’s right hand. During this brutal and unjustified mutilation, Duren Ireheart, Clan Father of the Irehearts, attempted to barter for his cousin's release and to diffuse the situation. But instead was met with multiple attempts from Norland's guard to take his life needlessly. 

 

The Grand Kingdom soon met with the Vale and Norland to reconcile upon this matter, and the dwarves asked for the excess of their punishment to be recognized so that there be peace between the two Kingdoms. 

 

Instead, the King of Norland and the Leader of the Vale refused to acknowledge any wrong and promptly left, despite the dwarves admitting Bakir Ireheart's fault of punching the elf. Many are aware of the Ireheart grudge against the Vale, one that, since its publishing, it resulted in no action taken against the Vale due to the dwarven desire for negotiation first.

 

So the dwarven people pose the question, why is their request for acknowledgment that the maiming of a descendent for a simple, harmless punch was rebuffed with no justification by two sovereigns? We ask Norland and Vale to hold talks in good faith to resolve this issue and not let a false sense of honour cloud their judgment. For when fog obscures the path to peace, it must be cut through.

As our final act in our wish for peace amongst our people, we demand the following terms be met:

The Vale and the Kingdom of Norland apologize for their honorless behavior and their mutilation of an Ex-Grand King and former ally. 

A weregild of 2000 mina

The King of Norland loses his right hand.

The Vale and Norland formally swear to eternally never interfere in dwarven grudges again.

Bakir "Orcs Blood" Ireheart shakes his head as he looked at the missive "A final chance for peace with an honorless people. Let us hope they make the right choice."

"Oi they hurt me' cousin, they will not get away wit' it " Darrim Ireheart stated before going in search of his brother to inform him of the situation.

“I love seeing dwarves fight, the best and most creative tactics come from the smaller groups. Maybe it’s true, smaller body gains bigger brains” an Elfess questioned herself pondering this thought about the dwarven anatomy

“Break our laws, face our punishment.” The Queen shrugged, wondering how Bakir managed to even sign the document with his stub of a hand.

"How th' good 'ave fallen ahn been turned intae puppets," commented a forest dwarf to her husband. @Terry "Sad tae see."

Talinya just sighs as she reads it “Freaking idiots”

[Borin 5264]

"So the Vale abandon their fellow descendents in battle, then refuse to even attempt to hide their disdain for peace and prosperity in this new land by neglecting reasonable negotiations. Then Norland begin this new age by maiming a foreigner, who despite acting rashly had a valid complaint, without trial or good reason at all?

 

The Vale have chosen dishonour, and Norland follows them. May they attempt to claw some back by accepting these entirely reasonable terms, and admitting their wrongdoings as the Dwarves seem to be able to do." states [racist] Brother Odo, cursing the damned  foreigners and pagans for sowing chaos!

"The rules we abide by are not arbitrary, but rather a cornerstone of order and equity," Vykk declares, his words imbued with a resolute clarity. "In the eyes of the law, it matters not the magnitude of one's transgressions. Be it a trivial offense or a grievous act, the scales of justice remain impartial."

His shoulders rise in a nonchalant shrug, a gesture of indifference to the pleas of leniency. "Consequences are the natural offspring of one's choices. If you have ventured onto the crooked path of wrongdoing, then you must bear the weight of accountability. It is a simple equation, clear and unyielding."

"Fooken moss-eatin, tree-fooken, grass-licken arselings t'ink thoi can gaet awae wit' such an dis'onorableh act on mae kin."  Grumwar slammed his hand into the table before turning to his brother Darrim @Zolla_ "If we ain't getten t'e Norlander's 'and t'en we go an' taeke 'is 'aed."

Zelphar reads the documentation thrown at him saying to the group around him "Uhhhh I think what I am reading here is that war is a foot." He'd gather himself placing down the docemtation he was given and sets himself up.

[Elennanore 2820]

The High Keeper read over the missive, taking note of the many inconsistencies found within that were not of reality. "Claiming Norland to be an ancient ally? A joke. Bakir Ireheart himself distanced the Kingdom of Urguan away from the Realm of Norland - we were never allies with this belligerent fool. They so vilely allude to us being allies, let alone even attempt to deceive others into believing we are so honorless." The Keeper pointed out. "His predecessor did not come to us for an alliance, and Garedyn himself refused to even sign on to a non-aggression pact with the Realm. Let us not fail to mention that this missive neglects the entirety of Bakir's wrongs, the menace spitting upon the Matriarch of Nevaehlen, insulting her, and then throwing a blow at one of her men. The coronation wasn't concluded, it was interrupted by a foul maleficar, and continued to be prolonged by Bakir stirring trouble and insulting one of our longest allies."
