   To the Dwarfs that have yet to be heard,

 

   Why do we follow Yemekar? Better yet, why do YOU follow Yemekar? Is it the mountains he has forged for our homes? Is it the metals he scattered throughout the lands to defeat our enemies? Is it The Great Forgefather’s teachings of great leadership within the Brathmordakin and then spreading to us, the followers and messengers? Who knows, but we all know him as the God of Creation. Creation cannot happen without imagination. Imagination cannot happen without the dwarfs, no matter the title or how many mina a dwarf has. What makes us dwarfs is our craftsmanship. Our kinship, our hard rugged homes within caves or forests. But, the homes can’t be made from Yemekar alone; it is formed by OUR hard working hands. The dwarfs that carve out tunnels, the dwarfs that go to mining incursions within the Deeproads, even dwarfs that own a small stall within the Marketplace! Our home was made by craftsdwarfs…hard-working Craftsdwarf, in fact! But can a single craftsdwarf really do such great things by himself? I know some may have different opinions, but what I think- no, what I know is that the greatest works created come about when craftsmen come together, for it is then that they come together and form the greatest workforce any nation has seen through the lands.

What is a Guild without hard working Craftsdwarf?

 

Yemekars Workforce. It has created nations, rebuilt nations, armed our armies to fight the faces of Oren, defended the Siege upon Elvenesse by the great Titan and his minions, provided bulwark protection against the rugged raids on the Orcs in the south, armed the Descendants with great Daemonsteel armaments against the Inferi Incursion upon the Khorvassa, and many more deeds not listed here. The Workforce has created new ideas, created forges and crafts the likes of which humans nor elves (especially elves) could never compare too. The Guild is one of the burning fuels that make our Kingdom, a Kingdom. The Workforce has been the driving lungs throughout centuries of our nation, breathing life into our industrious peoples from Axios until now… But, why does it seem like there is no workforce? Where are the collection of groups making crafts to better Urguan? The dwarfs that drive for a better Workforce? Where are the dwarfs that actually care? WHERE ARE TEH DWED?

What is a Dwarf without their Ancestors?

 

The Workforce has had many great achievements throughout the centuries leading from its ranks, starting from the birth home of a true Workforce, that being the city of  Kal’Mugdor, City of the Mines. Let us never forget the notable things Yemekar’s Workforce has done, some of which have had ties into greater powers in Urguan like our very own King, Ulfar Korvasson of Kornazkarumm. Through reading through the old scrolls of our history, it is written that he has witnessed the Workforce rise and fall and rise again while being a proud citizen of the Kingdom. However, the lineage of the guild traces far back to even his Ancestors, beginning with Tarvar Starbreaker, a great craftsman he was. It was Tarvar who helped build small foundations for the Guild. Then came a Priest of Grimdugan, Dugmir Irongut; some records showed he was very oriented towards his Grand Horde kept within the Ironguts hall, rivaling that of the Kingdoms some rumors hold. Numerous are the legions of dwed who built this great guild, but a city full of workers can form it yet again.

 

 Kal’Mugdor, oh what a beautiful sight it was to see within Kal’Darakaan. You may be asking yourself now where did Kal’Mugdor come from? It came from Mugdor-Dharak, or Mine-Beast. It was this dwarf who led the workforce to a resurgence not seen in many stone years, for it was Mugdor who created a steady quota system, active missions, and a quality learning system to teach new dwarfs.

What is a Dwarf without their Greatest amongst them?

 

The work of many paved the way for the greatest Yemekar’s Pick to ever bless our grand halls; Dorimnur Goldhand, known as “The Golden Artificer.” It was he who took up the Pick from Mugdor as but a humble miner, leading the guild into the largest heights and greatest depths it has ever seen, plundering an expansive hoard blessed before them by Grimdugan. It was Dorimnur who established and taught the people of Urguan smithing again, so that Urguan might once again revel in their crafts. A Master Smith himself, the Yemekar’s Pick would pride himself in becoming one of the greatest smiths in all of the history of our lands, and poured this knowledge into his Workforce. 

 

Through his prowess was great undertakings held by the guild, including the slaughter of a great fae beast of which’s brain existed as a grand sapphire relic for the Goldhands. Upon the Khorvassa did he lead his Guild in both pick and axe, arming the dwarven ballistae with daemonsteel bolts and troops with hardened steel, having his hand cut off in the battle by a Hive Inferi, creating his eponymous golden hand. Upon a great ship the U.S.S. Armakak’s Coffer did the Guild sail under his captainship to pilfer Ironglass, fight Pirates and other foul doings. He created the Guild’s very own U.S.S. Armakak’s Coffer, a large steam ship with a bounty of cannons, of which he was the inventor of, which now sits deep at the bottom of the Urguani Ports of Almaris, sank in combat. All this and more are the lauded history of the greatest Yemekar’s Pick the Kingdom has had the privilege to see, and stands as the bar we must strive for, not just to meet, but to surpass, by following his example in being untiring, and giving our all to our people.

Another notable Yemekar’s pick was an underdog per say. The Great Ulfar Kazzatharasson of Clan Starbreaker came next after Grimdugan took Dorimnur away, and did an exceptional job at filling the great boots and grand office desk of the dwarf before him, He led the Guild into great heights, completing group missions, taking them deeper and deeper into the resplendent mines armed with technology not a dwarf before had seen. He raised wealth, even in the trying times of funds and dwarves being sparse in the turbulent political times of the Grand Kingdom.. A great feat of this Yemekar’s Pick achieved was to enhance our golemancy crafts. Ulfar created many golems and enhanced our knowledge of our sacred craft; many people are still using some of his various golem workers to help around Urguan. He helped design and carve from slumbering stone our newest capital making it fit for our noble clans to reside within Urguan.

What is the Guild now without it’s people?

 

You may be wondering, who is this dwarf, reminding us of how things used to be? Why is he claiming he is able to push us to the heights of our ancestors? Why is he calling me out? 

 

I am Vollok Frostbeard. I have been around since the ending of Alamaris, I have experienced the creation of Khron’hundmar and her expeditions, along with her failures. I have resided with hunters of Heffrum too see their ways, but I have also seen a few Grand Kings arise to the throne some better than others, some had kin surrounding the throne hungry for redemption, or hungry for bloodshed. Kin ready too start a new city, or ready too welcome vassals, but alas all come too an end with one simple problem i had noticed… the lack of dwarven industry… they did not have a steady flow of innovative or welcoming workers

I digress. I do not think ill of older or younger generations of my kin. I believe seeking answers for questions I ponder about within Belkas Barrel, what's wrong with the current state of Urguan.

I come from a strong and prideful bloodline of Frostbeards, son of Volden, great grandson of Rhewen the once and final Emperor. I have been taught at a young age to be strong of might and mind, to not let the thoughts of others deter your path, and if something is in your way, STRIKE IT DOWN with the power of a thousand bears, with thought and with heart. I have been taught to study unknowing knowledge until it is remembered like the back of my axe. I will help any dwarf who seeks to learn. If you want to be spoon fed, so be it, there are elgus that will take you in, but I will not. Everyone has an equal opportunity, if you take initiative and actively seek your questions, I will help you to the best of my ability. Being spoon fed will only make you ill. So take the initiative, let us create a better Urguan with the workforce. I am tired of seeing nothing done of our inventions and industry being beaten by knife ears and long legs.

Yes, I am saying bold things. I do this for a reason; I want Urguan to be better, as I do not wish ill on anyone or anywho. I want too see our sons and daughters have a better future, a future of learning and innovation. So with being said, join me craftsdwed become the new face of urguan.I want too see a better Urguan, i want Urguan too join me in this conquest of Industry, we shall return our glory back into the flames of our forges and our tinkering of machines.

A Letter to Sons of the Elder and Commoner clans.  

Spoiler

Azwrytrumm, Aurokanar, Kathaikaz, Kravamoruok, Dorkadrel, Kornazkarumm, Khorul!

 

Where are your kin that want the forges lit with great flames! Where are the inventors, where are your sons! 

 

 

 

A Letter to Sons of Urguan

Spoiler

Tha Kav’az othok thas Kronul!

 

We have let the Elgus with their wretched soul tearing inventions, outperform our, OUR, Grand Industry… 

 

We have let the Umri and their scummy castles create more stronger weapons from their puny weak forges…

 

What have we fallen into? Why did we let this pass without concern?

 

I grieve our dwedki’s future if we do not intervene.
