Attack On Alras

[Zezimus 1523]

*Valen stands before a group of Dwarves in Kal'Urguan and begins to speak about the recent battle*

I understand that there 'as been some confusion over our reasons fer attackin' Alras. Well, I would like ter explain this to clear up any negative thoughts against those involved and ensure that these events are understood.

This all started when the guards of Alras attempted ter arrest Urir Ireheart, after he attacked a Goblin who was falsely claimin' ter be the High King Syrio. Urir, unable ter talk 'is way out of arrest was forced ter resist and killed a number of guards who 'ad tried ter capture 'im. Although Urir may 'ave acted rather agressively ter the siituation as Irehearts often do, this was an act of self defence and not murder 'as some 'ave claimed. It is therefore not Urir's fault if Ascended chose ter involve themselves in the fight as it is not their job ter take sides in conflict, involvin' nations.

Anyway, while I was about ter attend a feast in Kal'Urguan, I received word that the Ascended, Shoi, along with a large number of armoured men 'ad entered the city and were 'eadin' ter King Thorik's caslte. As I attempted ter greet these visitors, they rudely ignored any Dwarf who approached 'em and refused ter stop as we questioned them on their reasons fer bein' in Kal'Urguan. This seemed ter me personally like an agressive act by the Ascended that I certainly will not ferget. While I understand that they were guards, would it not 'ave been more appropriate of 'em ter 'ave waited at the main entrance ter Kal'Urguan fer somebody ter speak to 'em instead of marchin' up ter the castle, without a word ter explain their business?

Upon reachin' the castle, Shoi declared that she would like ter speak ter Thorik which made us wonder why she needed such a large group of guards. Anyway, we 'ad a brief meetin' with three Ascended, includin' Shoi who announced that the Irehearts actions 'ad been representing all of Kal'Urguan and the Dwarves. Fer this they rudely insulted us and dismissed us from the UAC with immediate effect. Since we no longer 'eld any loyalty ter Alras, I decided ter reveal to one of the Ascended the main topic of our recent council meetin', the corruption of 'igh King Syrio. Ter those who are not already aware, Syrio fueled the war between Kal'Urguan and Krugmar by sellin' arms ter both sides, profiteerin' from the deaths of both Dwarves and Orcs. Algrim Irongut is a witness ter this so before anyone claims that Alras is a neutral nation, look at what 'e 'as ter say.

Now then, after this meetin' 'ad finished, Syrio came ter Kal'Urguan 'imself, announcin' that a 100,000 mina bounty 'ad been placed upon Urir, as well as Grand Councilor Kjell Ireheart who personally, 'ad done nothin' ter offend Alras. Now I ask, if the Alrasians 'ad truly wanted peace, why would they send bounty 'unters after Dwarven officals? Anyway, when the Blackaxe clan 'eard word that the Alrasian guard were fightin' Irehearts, the Blackaxe took it upon themselves to defend their Dwarven brothers. Soon, others followed includin' the Frostbeards, until, King Thorik decided that ter avoid a split in Kal'Urguan's government, the clans would 'ave ter unite against Alras fer both their and the Ascended's outrageous actions against us.

I will not go into detail as to what 'appened durin' the battle but I can tell yer that we raided Syrio's keep, in an attempt ter look fer the map pieces that 'ad been 'idden from us. Although these were not found, we believe the Ascended may now possess 'em. Durin' this battle, the Orcs also decided ter turn on us once we 'ad reached the keep. While I do not blame the Orcs fer their actions, as I 'ave 'eard that somebody attacked the Warmistress before 'and which was against our orders, I do 'ope that the Orcs open their eyes to the corrupt nation, they seemed ter be fightin' fer.

So aye, it is now time ter decide what our next move is. We 'ave already made an agreement with another nation ter form our own coalition against the undead, consderin' the Ascended are incapable of stayin' neutral in nation conflicts. Already, a number of Alrasians 'ave chosen ter defect to our side. Our 'ope now is fer peace between the nations, without Alras and the Ascended rulin' over us, 'as 'as been seen in thee United Aegis Coalition. If yer truly want ter bring peace ter Aegis, do not side with the UAC fer they will treat you kindly ter begin with but then backstab yer when things don't go their way. While I once respected the Ascended I fear that they 'ave now gone against their true purpose by fightin' fer Alras. I ask ye all, do yer really wish ter side with these tyrants who 'ave recently, done nothin' ter 'elp Kal'Urguan and attack us durin' the battle of Alras? I certainly would not and I 'ope all Dwarves will unite under King Thorik and do the same.

This is well said. Many people said we did not have a good reason to attack, but this is exactly what happened.

Valen 'as a point, as I her dis now since I was not able te attend the feast, neither the fight. but as this info is told to me I realize that Ascended are almost traitors to us, this almost means we have to become a part of evil as that we need to pick sides, since we cannot be alone or neutral in this fight, we need the help from the Ascended. But as for now it seems we cannot trust on ta help 'o ten Ascended, for me they seem Traitors, Tyrants or even Corrupt by a force, who knows it might be by Iblees! It is a shame that dis happens in des times, the times where Ta Undead is nearly ruling upon us.

Syrio came ter Kal'Urguan 'imself, announcin' that a 100,000 mina bounty 'ad been placed upon Urir, as well as Grand Councilor Kjell Ireheart who personally, 'ad done nothin' ter offend Alras.

I ofcourse allow 'em te'do tis on hes own lands, but on Kal'Urguan lands announcin' dat n Kal'Urguan friend and 'n Grand Councilor o' War is now open fer hunt is just te' worse. Dat will get a peace treaty nowhere!

Words like Valen said say dat Syrio is Corrupt, and I have heared o' mer ting's dat King Syrio 'as done!

Seems it could have all been avoided if someone had just let themselves be arrested then talk through the proper justice system. Beautiful the way a war started over the hostilities one individual presented.

Regardless of what Urir did, there was never a need ter place a bounty on a Grand Councilor of Kal'Urguan, simply becuase 'is clan member 'ad caused some trouble, that wasn't entirely 'is fault anyway.

Damn Alrasians, they have no honour. Though I am a Human, I will help the Dwarves even if it means my death.

[Arteh 1837]

I agree to this post, however the OOC Grudge has to and WILL STOP.

*hears word of this, and immediately runs to his smith and burns his guard uniform*

"Well, t'ank Aeriel I quit. t'em..."

[Battleme33 196]

When Alras split from teh' original dwarven nation dey' should ov' known sum'tin like dis' would 'appen eventually! I tink' dey need to be put in der' place. Tey' show no charactoristics of true dwarves, showboatin in money in der' huge city! We'll see ow' they fair on teh' battl'field soon! See if der' money can save dem then.

[no longer active 734]

I say we retake the city and put it back under Dwarven rule!

[Arbrek the Ancient 140]

I say we retake the city and put it back under Dwarven rule!

Aye! We should never 'ave let 'em go in teh first place, if corruption is what independence brings, they should nay get te 'ave it.

*Clears his throat to better speak oomie*

Don't justify yourself. You made an attack and the battle was bought for in blood. You had a victory and Alras a defeat. Celebrate, but do not step back and try to justify yourself. That is stupid, when Alras comes knocking on your doorstep the man holding the blade will not care to ask for a story as to why you attacked his city. When you are drinking and sharing stories with your brothers they will not care to hear why you went to Alras, only what you did once you got there. You bought a victory and that is all that matters. Revel in it, and prepare for the battles ahead. Do not sulk on information that has no point.

Aye, I did not believe I 'ad ter justify this attack but after so many Alrasians started askin' why, I 'ad ter give 'em an answer. It seems that Syrio, 'imself is not capabale of informin' 'is own people as to why they were attacked and so I instead 'ave ter spread the word for 'em.
