THE MOUNTAIN ALLIANCE

[JokerLow 1317]

 

 

THE MOUNTAIN ALLIANCE

Since the founding of Kal’Urguan, the Mountain Dwedmar have stood as the bedrock of dwarven civilization. From deeds of valor sung through the ages to the rise of revered Paragons, the Sons of Urguan have ever relied upon the strength, resolve, and unyielding will of the mountain clans.

In the elder days, within the great city of Kal’Karaad, the foremost mountain clans set aside rivalry and ambition, sealing a bloodpact that bound them in solemn alliance. By this oath, an unbreakable bond was forged between Urguan’s kin, and the foundations of lasting unity were laid in stone.

In the decades that followed, this sacred pact was renewed by the ruling mountain clans of the age, drawing the Dwedmar together once more and strengthening the Grand Kingdom beyond its former measure.

Now, as the ages turn and the world stands upon the edge of change, history shall repeat itself once more in Azuras. There, the mountain clans of Goldhand, Frostbeard, and Ireheart shall bind their blood and honor together, sealing a renewed bloodpact and restoring the ancient unity of stone, steel, and kin, according to the terms set forth below.

 

The Terms of the Mountain Alliance

1. Mutual Defense
The signatories agree to render military aid to one another should any clan of the alliance be aggressed upon.
 

2. Non-Aggression
The clans formally swear to never act with hostility toward one another. Should an incident arise that cannot be ignored, the signatories shall convene to determine a just and unified course of action.
 

3. Unified Counsel in War
No signatory shall pledge allegiance to any external conflict without first consulting the other members of the alliance.
 

4. Political Unity
The clans of the Mountain Alliance pledge to support one another politically, both within dwarven affairs and beyond.
 

5. Council of Stone
The signatories agree to meet every Stone Month, to maintain unity, address grievances, and reaffirm their shared purpose.
 

6. Succession of Blood and Oath
This bloodpact shall bind not only the signatories, but also their heirs, successors, and rightful clan leaders, unless formally dissolved by unanimous consent of all member clans.
 

7. Trade and Craft Brotherhood
The allied clans shall grant one another preferential rights to trade, shared access to mountain routes, and the services of master smiths, masons, and artisans in times of need.
 

8. Judgment of the Council
Any clan found in willful violation of this bloodpact shall be summoned before the Council of Stone, there to answer for their actions under the laws and traditions of the Mountain Dwedmar.
 

9. Sanctuary of Stone
In times of war, disaster, or great need, the halls, fortresses, and strongholds of each allied clan shall stand open to the others as sanctuary, shelter, and refuge.
 

10. Rite of Blood and Stone
Each forging or renewal of this pact shall be sealed through a sacred rite of blood and stone, witnessed by clan elders and recorded within the annals of the mountain halls, so that none may forget the oaths sworn on this day.
