_RoyalCrafter_ 3301 Share Posted November 28, 2023 [!] The following missive is spread to the people of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Ingame Date IRL DATEISSUED BY: THE GRAND KING ᚷᚱᚨᚾᛞ ᛖᛞᛁᚲᛏ ᚢ ᚷᚱᚨᚾᛞ ᛖᛞᛁᚲᛏ ᚢ YOTH BRATHMORDAKIN NA YOTH URGUAN ᛁᛟᚦ ᛒᚱᚨᚦᛗᛟᚱᛞᚨᚲᛁᚾ ᚾᚨ ᛁᛟᚦ ᚢᚱᚷᚢᚨᚾ I hereby issue this edict to update the citizens of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan about the developments within the Kingdom and the current state of affairs of the realm of Aevos. War is upon us, but the Grand Kingdom shall remain steadfast and maintain transparency with its people. THE WARᛏᚺᛖ ᚹᚨᚱ Our Grand Kingdom has been summoned to war by our long-standing allies, the Haeseni. However, our participation in this conflict is not solely out of obligation by duty, which any dwarf would uphold, our participation is paramount to the prolonged prosperity of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. It is known to many that the League of Veletz, self-declared anti-imperialists, have been using underhanded means to exert their influence far past the midlands and across the Heartlands, endeavouring to warmonger against all nations they have the capacity to. The killing of Petran nobility, to obtain access to vital resources. The funding of Aaunic rebels, which resulted in the regicide of Edmund. They harbour and exalt bandits so as to damage the supply lines of rival nations whilst feigning innocence. It would be one thing to declare righteous war to avenge wrongs done against your home- it is another entirely to mastermind politics and schemes in a covert endeavour to destroy your rivals without simply saying such. All of these reasons are enough for Urguan to be concerned, for our nation's economy depends on trade with the Heartland nations. However, our hoard is robust enough to last us through such catastrophes, and it is not in our nature to meddle with the affairs between Yrromar. However, many crimes of Veletz against Urguan have gone unanswered. The debearding of Tundo Golhand has still not been answered. This atrocity against our people was committed by the Canons Regular, a military organisation under the former employ of the League. Once their crimes became so great, that not even the League could get away under the cowardly veil of plausible deniability, the Canons Regular were “banished.” Thus conveniently, the perpetrator was never brought to justice and no recompense ever arrived for Tundo Goldhand. Since then, they have continued their connections with the Ferrymen, harbouring the brigands who proudly proclaim their debearding of the 31st Grand King. Upon the request of the wider world to hold the Ferrymen accountable, the Veletzians lied and pretended that there was no connection. Recently, this lie has been exposed after the brigands brazenly rallied within the lands of Veletz in a fortress under their control. In addition, during the conflict with Norland, it was the League of Veletz that decided to strike the first blow upon us, despite no provocations from us before. They insisted that their lands had been raided by Frostbeards, but never attempted to resolve the issue beyond such. Naturally, they were repelled but were not sated with the taste of one defeat. The League of Veletz led another force to the gates for skirmish where they were soundly defeated and the Duke of Adria captured, who was released amicably and thereafter declared that Veletz would release its ‘outstanding grievances’ against Urguan. Finally, Veletz ceased its spontaneous failing raids against dwarven lands and instead sought to terrorize the less defensible territories of humanity. The League of Veletz is currently exerting its power in an attempt to dominate the midlands. If they are allowed to do this without opposition, their bloodthirsty nature will not allow them to be satisfied, and they will come for all those who remain, including us. Our Grand people shall take a stand before such is allowed to pass and place the hefty might of unified dwarfdom upon the scales to aid the delicate Balance of Yemekar. THE LEGIONᛏᚺᛖ ᛚᛖᚷᛁᛟᚾ The promised Legion reforms have taken effect, with new barracks established and paychecks flowing. The Grand Kingdom plans to install anti-raid infrastructure in the form of watch towers and aviaries throughout the land. This is to prevent raids from both the undead and mundane. The once slumbering giant of the Legion shall slowly rise from its rest. In addition to this, Sigrun Stonehammer shall reprise his role as Grand Marshall for the duration of this war. ECONOMYᛖᚲᛟᚾᛟᛗᛁ With the issuing of Legion paychecks, and buying resources from our miners, the growth rate of our hoard has diminished slightly. However, even with this and the taxation from the blue monks, the hoard has grown to its highest amount so far in Aevos, and further growth is projected, and the Grand Kingdom is discussing the establishment of a merchants' guild, to help counter the costs of war. Our top economists project an increase in demand for war materials, which our nation produces in spades. The Riverrun Accord between the Grand Kingdom and Petra also allows us to supply ourselves with copper for practically no cost.

Nooblius 5809 Share Posted November 28, 2023 An old dwarf approaches the gates of Urguan with a weary smile. It was finally time to come home. A younger Starbreaker ran out from the gatehouse and greeted the elder prophet to ask him about the shaving of a Grand King. The 31st Grand King Emeritus Norli Norvarsson Starbreaker has a manic episode, denying knowing anything about it and returning to his exile. "It didn't happen, I swear!" he cries over his shoulder as he fled. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
