A New Grand Merchant Rises!

[Dreek 1633]

*Dreek reads out a scroll from the balcony to the assembled dwarves and visitors*

"Grand Keng Forin 'as read oveh da applicants an 'as decoided un whu will tayke oveh da Grand Merchant positiun! Da new Grand Merchant es Indagu Stormhammer! Congradulatiuns tu 'im an mey he foind success en his dutehs.

*Dreek rolls up the scroll and heads back down the stairs.*

*nods once and runs away before anyone congratulates him

Finki angrily grumbles as he realizes that the position of Grand Merchant has once again slipped away from the hands of the Goldhand Clan.

 

"Wait wait WAIT! Wasn't there supposed to be an election of some sort for this position! I wish to know the meaning of this change in appointment procedures at once! I do not believe that the leadership of the merchant's guild can be changed with such rapid haste and little thought!"

Gulroid hears his clan-mate's cries and draws the younger dwarf off to oneside so as not to make any more of a scene.

 

"Finki lad der 'ave been sum changes to de dwarven government which ye may no' know about. Der 'ave been sum cleva' politics which allowed de king te 'ave absolute authority ova' dese matters. It all seemed relevant when der was talk of rebellion bu' now de king 'as enough powa' te do wha' 'e wants. Aldough when ye think abou' it de election process did seem a little rushed."

 

Satisfied he has answered the younger dwarf's questions, Gulroid begins to wander off.

It could be argued that given it's final exam time the application process was short, but there were few applicants so...))

((We only ended the app orocess quickly because in the first teo hours or so two people applied and thrlen two days later there was no one new answering it. Meanking decided on his own that he would just choose the merchant, and seeing as aandie's app was cmpltely trolling, and spuller's only had some, the choice wss apuller.))
