The Proposal Of An Amendment

[Zezimus 1523]

Consular Valen Grandaxe nestles himself upon an iron seat, awaiting the presence of the rest of the council, his arms outstretched in front of him. His eyes drift around the room as he places a wooden pipe, between his teeth, carefully lighting it with an oddly shaped contraption. Impatiently, he taps his fingers against the armrest and ponders thoughts on the recent troubles between the Grand Marshall, Kjell Ireheart and the King, Hiebe Irongut. Never before had he seen or heard of such a divide between a King and Paragon.

After some time, the remaining council members begin to pour into the room, one by one taking their seats within the grand council chamber. As the King's Royal Guard enters the room, Valen and the other council members rise to their feet, before the dwarven King, Hiebe Irongut hobbles towards his throne at the head of the table. Each of the dwarves bow before taking their seats once again. As the King rests back in his throne, Valen rises and gives a slight tilt of his head, as each of the council members turn their heads towards him. He unrolls a parchment in his hands, and begins speaking in a gruff tone, his voice bellowing throughout the chamber.

"In loight of recent troubles between t'e King n' t'e Grand Marshal, ah Valen Grandaxe, Consular ov t'e Kingdom ov Urguan, 'erebeh propose an amendment tae our great constitution... T'ese recent troubles 'ave largeleh baen t'e result ov disagreements between t'ose ov us 'o wud seek tae droive out t'ose nawt ov dwarven blud n' t'ose 'o wud 'ave 'em integrated intae our societeh. Ah 'ave given sum t'ought tae t'e matter n' believe t'is wud beh in t'e best interests ov t'e Kingdom. Aneh 'o disagreh wit' meh mae speak t'eir wurd w'en ah 'ave finished.

Ah'm sur' t'ere beh maneh ov ye 'ere 'o view t'ese outsoiders as pests, unwor'teh ov walkin' our 'alls... Well nay, since t'e days of ol' Grand King T'orik, ah 'ave watched as races 'ave lived n' flourished un dwarven culture n' made t'eir mark wit'in' our societeh. Weh mus' nawt beh fergettin' t'e sacrafoices bot' weh n' t'ey 'ave made fer us n' ah will nawt stand fer aneh 'o saeh udderwoise. Lest weh wish tae split t'is Kingdom apurt, weh mus' werk terget'er 'er face annihilation frum outsoide t'reats.

'owever, ah 'ave fund mehself agreein' wit' un t'in' t'at t'e t'e Paragon 'as spuken ov. Ah dwarven council s'ould beh jus' t'at, ah council ov bludeh dwarves! Iv t'ese races wis' tae liv' wit' us, t'ey mus' fulluw uweh waehs n' conform tae uweh wishes. T'ey mus' nawt seek powah wit'in' uweh government fer it beh t'e corruption ov 'umans n' elves t'at 'as brought such stroife n' division upon t'e lands ov t'e Oren Empoire n' t'e elven peninsula. Weh beh all sons ov Urguan, born frum foire n' stone, worshippers ov t'e Brathmordakin. Dae nawt divoide yeself fer division will onleh brin' wit' it temptations fer greed n' powah... T'at cannae beh alluwed tuh 'appen.

T'e constitution wus created tae unoite us n' suh wit' t'is amendment, ah wud 'ope t'at t'ose 'o seek justice will feel t'eir words 'ave baen 'eard. Ah wud furt'er 'ope t'ese Crimson fellahs wud contineh tae foight bae us but instead, independent ov authoritah frum t'e King n' rat'er undah t'e council n' t'e Kingdom as ah unoited leadahship. T'ey maeh act wit'in' t'eir uwn interests, provoidin' t'ey aboide bae uweh laws n' face punishment iv t'ere beh a failure tae duh suh. T'is beh wut ah feel will stawp t'is foolishness t'at 'as befallen us n' allow us tae achieve peace n' stabiliteh wit'in' t'e Kingdom."

As Valen finishes speaking, he lays out the parchment onto the table for each of the council members to read. He then retakes his seat, awaiting the opinion of the rest of the council.

Amendment to be made to:

Article I: Governmental Powers

Section D: Election

- Only those citizens, fully possessing dwarven blood may run for election on the Grand Council of the Kingdom of Urguan or hold any power within the legislative branch of the dwarven government.

*Dom sits sipping his ale while Valen talks and when quite settles in the room Dom stands up and begins to speak.*

"Ah agree wit ye Valen. De elves be our allies and sum uv de 'umans as well. We even 'ave given 'aven tu whitewashes and gobos, and all 'ave fought bravely and 'onorable wit us. De are also guud labors and 'ave a love uv nature and a skills wit trades above ground dat we sorely lack. Ah say we live in peace wit those who would work along siode us. But Ah'll be in the buried and liovin in de Halls of the Brathmordikin afer any swarmy bastard who is nae a dwarf sits 'is arse in un uv our seats."

*Sits back down slightly redfaced and begins to write in a large tome and sip ale.*

[Hiebe 2493]

Ah agree, keep it dwarven blood fer de betterment ove all and fer da furture ove dwarves as a whole.

[Tortek 51]

Tortek nods to Valen's words as he begins to speak.

Ah agree wif dis Valen, now der will nae beh onleh Dwarves to run our great bearded nation! Ah seh aye to dis!

Tortek then chuckles slightly and leans back into his seat.

Watching from a dark corner of the council chamber, Bael watches the proceedings with disgust.

"Suh, 'et seems as if ah willnae be runnin' fer governmen' ev'r.

He spits a huge glob of phlegm on the ground as he utters his next words.

"Full bluud'd dworf meh feckin' arse."

He walks away, shrouded in shadows, shaking his head.

[Serf 647]

Scoffs at Bael's remark toward the election process. "If they nae be 'o Dwarven blood, then we shoold just 'and tae kingdom 'ova to tae 'umans, ur some 'alf bred if ye 'ave a problem with that."

[Kilgrim 361]

Dis amendmant ish unnecessary fer it ish already in da constitution.

I quote under Article: 1, Section D: Elections:

Any one dwarf can run for any council position. Although, it is recommended to be already apart of the organisation or guild that the particular council position is the head of.

Therefore this amendment is unnecessary. For those of you 'ho havn't read the constitution well enough, I suggest ye revise it once more. Alsho, dis law alsho goes fer te king.

[Hiebe 2493]

Dis New law will make it su honorary dwarves cant be eligible eidder.

[Kilgrim 361]

Dis New law will make it su honorary dwarves cant be eligible eidder.

I tink it should just be clarified more anywaysh. But wut ish alreadeh in te constitution never says Honorary dwarvesh can be elected. It says Dwarvesh and Dwarvesh onleh.

[Hiebe 2493]

Den lets specify it har har

[TEEbrown 348]

[Has this passed? The council members need to have at least half votes for it to pass sooo, 5 votes yes.]

[Supertimmy4ever 19]

Watching from a dark corner of the council chamber, Bael watches the proceedings with disgust.

"Suh, 'et seems as if ah willnae be runnin' fer governmen' ev'r.

He spits a huge glob of phlegm on the ground as he utters his next words.

"Full bluud'd dworf meh feckin' arse."

He walks away, shrouded in shadows, shaking his head.

*Uzgul sighs and shouts:*

"Dis be the DWARVEN Kingdom of Urguan, nay the halfblood Kingdom of Urguan!"

[Juice 0]

*Uzgul sighs and shouts:*

"Dis be the DWARVEN Kingdom of Urguan, nay the halfblood Kingdom of Urguan!"

Bael is bloody confused on how Uzgul managed to make his way into the council chamber, see him standing in a dark corner and start shouting at him.

[Hiebe 2493]

Amendment passes. Da consititions 'older will ave tu edit it. Council members please stay fer sutmtin else tu be rought up.
