Hearken, all kin of the mountain, for the words of Alaric, Lord of Clan Grimgold, echo through the ancient halls of our forefathers. With a heavy heart and unyielding resolve, I, Alaric, bearer of the Grimgold bloodline, stand forth to denounce the vile massacre of the Goldhands, our brethren of the Brathmordakin, by the treacherous hand of Torsun Blackhand.

 

In the shadow of the mountain, where the spirits of our ancestors watch over us, I declare my unshakable allegiance to the principles of honor, unity, and justice. The Goldhands, rightful heirs to their own legacy, have been subjected to an unspeakable atrocity, wrought by the betrayer Torsun Blackhand. His actions have severed the bonds of kinship that bind us, tainting the very essence of what it means to be a child of the Brathmordakin.

 

I, Alaric of Clan Grimgold, stand resolute against this heinous act, and I shall not rest until my nephew, Davli Goldhand, is freed from the clutches of darkness that ensnare him. Upon the sacred Brathmordakin, I swear this oath, calling upon the Masked Lord Dungrimm, God of War, Death, and Judgement, whose wisdom guides us through the trials of battle and the fires of judgment.

 

As the forge hammer strikes the anvil, so shall my resolve remain unyielding, and I shall lead a force of stalwart Dwarven warriors, blessed by the Brathmordakin, to rescue Davli from the abyss that threatens to consume him. We shall not falter, and we shall not be swayed, for the spirit of our ancestors flows through our veins, empowering us with the strength to overcome any foe.

 

To Torsun Blackhand, the traitor who sullied the honor of the Dwarven race, I issue a warning: Your deeds shall not go unpunished. The wrath of the Brathmordakin shall be upon you, and the justice of the Masked Lord Dungrimm shall be swift and unyielding. Your days are numbered, and your treachery shall be your undoing.

 

Let it be known across the realms that Clan Grimgold stands united with the Goldhands in this time of darkness, as the mountain stands tall and unyielding against the storms that assail it. We shall fight shoulder to shoulder with the survivors, and our bond as kin shall never be severed.

 

May the Brathmordakin bear witness to this declaration, and may our ancestors guide and bless our righteous quest to bring justice and rescue Davli Goldhand from the clutches of betrayal.

 

By my sword hand and my heart, I, Alaric of Clan Grimgold, affix my name to this solemn declaration.

 

Signed,

 

[Orphvius 434]

A dwarfess of gold hears of this missive and cringes, wrinkling her nose in disgust "Always in our damned business, w'en will t'is leech get off of us and our clan politics?"

[Serf 579]

Deep beneath the stone in a secluded place, Torsun Blackhand sat in darkness, contemplating the destruction and decimation he had brought upon his own blood. Eventually whomever he was with would present to him Alaric’s declaration. 

 

“After everything I’ve done, Alaric dares to challenge me? I’ll turn that pathetic inbred family into thin red paste. Or worse, sick the Glodite dogs upon him. I dub you Alaric the Fool as that's what you’ll always be. Just a fool.”

 

His metallic voice echoed harshly as he mused to himself.
