William scans over the list as he walks through Karik. He smiles as he sees Gorum's position.

[Aryon 679]

Valnor tilts his head slightly at the notice, as he walks off to find Hiebe. Once finding him in his seat, he frowns at him, staring at Hiebe. He looks sideways at the guards, and sighs slightly.

"Hiebe, Ah have something t'at Ah wish ta ask ye. Fer many years, weh 'ave heard not'ing o' wha' will be happenin' with t'e fellow nations. We know no' if t'ey will be attackin' us wit'in t'e moons, we do no' know if t'ey view us as allies, or enemies. Ah wish ta ask if Ah can take a position as Leader of External Affairs, and try mah best ta repor' to King Hiebe wha' the other nations see of us. Ah shall make i' my job ta assure t'at t'e Dwarven Nation does not seek war wit' ot'er nations, and I shall try ta maintain peace with the other nations."

"Ah respec' ye choice ta make meh Overseer, bu' i' be an unneventful loife. Bein' an ex-engineer, Ah'm used ta adventure an' findin' secre's. I woul' be honored ta take t'is position. Of course, t'is is bu' a mere notion. Ah find i' a necessary job, but Ah know for sure t'at ye will deny the act if ye foind a problem with i'. I give you this idea to think of, and I shall let you think of it for days to come. I await yer response, Hiebe."

With those words, Valnor turns on his heel, awaiting the response of Hiebe in the days to come. As he glances back at the notice board, he notices the job "High Ambassador".

"So, Ah mus' speak wit' Gorum? Ah can do t'at..."

[Arbrek the Ancient 140]

((Gorum is the High Ambassador, you're basically talking about his job.))
