An Old Dwarf And The Wall

The snow fell heavily upon his shoulders as he walked up the stairs to Kal'Azgoth. "Had the stairs grew steeper or had his knees grown weak?" he wondered. His strength had began to seep out of him years ago, and he felt a chill far into his being. He was ancient, a relic of an old time long past. His bretheren, his sons and many of his closest friends had left this world long ago, and it had now started to feel like ages. His time was comming, he knew, but there was something keeping him alive. It was a chill which had been left in him since the time he had been in the cold grasp of Ondnarch. It forced him to stay alive alive, regardless of his age. This might force him to stay alive, but what gave him his strength was what he had sworn to do many hundred of years ago. He had sworn upon his honour and life, as he took the pledge of Lord Marshall, and once more when he took the pledge as Grand King Urguan, his pledge was simple... it was to protect his people as long as there was life in him. This war he knew, would take a great toll upon his strength. He had long since realised that this war would ultimatly kill him, but it was a thing worth dying for. It was his legacy and his pride. The dwarven nation. He had lead them for what seemed like centuries ago, and he would gladly die for it...

 

 

 

At last he was infront of the grand gate of Kal'Azgoth. He quickly scurried inside the mountain and brushed off the snow which had gathered upon his shoulders, and stroke his hand threw his hair to remove the snow in it. As he continued his walki he thought back to Aegis, and how he had lead the dwarves into a new age. From weakness to strength, they had prospered and been unrivaled the strongest. He could not blame those that had come after himself for the strength of the humans, as he had himself participated in it. The humans quickly multiplied, and even though their short lives they were a force to reckon with. He would do his part in this war, he would teach the legionnaires what he knew, he would build what he could, and he would fight with what strength was left in him.

 

Finally he had reached his desitination, the centrum of Kal'Azgoth. He waited for Uni Strongbrow and Oghren Grandaxe to arrive, and thought to the wall. It must be built before the battle of Storms crossing, and if it falls it must be ready to defend against oren. When they finally arrived, he stand besides them as they make dwarves gather around them. As more and more dwarves started to flock to them to hear what all of the commotion is about they proclaimed their message.

 

"Tae' wall needs tuu be built, an' et needs stones fer et. Tae koind ov' stones we need is cubble stone, smuuth stone an' stone bricks. Ah 'ope most ov' ye will donate stone tuu tis' cause. but iv' ye will nae ah am willin' tuu pay fer et.. Knuw tis', iv' Sturms Crossin' falls, dere' will be little between Kal'Azgoth an' tae 'uman armies. Dere is eh' few 'olds, an' he smaller wall, but tat' is nae built fer dis koind ov' siege. Yemekar forbid tat' Sturms Crossin' ever falls, but iv' et' does we need tuu be readay. Some ov' ye knuw meh, an' some ov' ye dunnae w'o ah am."

 

 

Wtth that they await the responce of the crowd.

 

(( Felt bored and that's why I typed up all of this. We really need all the stone you can spare, we would like it to be donated but are willing to pay. Contact me on the Forum or ingame /t luchian, or /t Atles or /t exodawn . Preferebly me though.))

A dwarf in black and purple clothing stands to the rear of the grathering crowd shouting, "TEAR DOWN KASTORIA AN' BARBEK! USE TEH STUNES TU MAKE DEH WALL!" Several other dwarfs in the crowd also join in the shouting.

Olaf once again fails to use his own mind, and copies the Dwarf shouting.

Thoak stands in the crowd staring blindly foward as he listens to Bael shouting "Tis wall shoold be torn doon ye git. An' tae stone shoold be used fer Storms Crossin', an' Armin' Barbek if Storms Crossin' falls." Thoak grunts slightly before adjusting his circlet and speaking once more "T'ere is nae real use to tis wall if tae enemy can just go 'oot.."

[Luchian 214]

Thorik turns to Thoak as he speaks, and lets out a sigh. 

 

"So ye expect us tuu frow everythin' we 'ave intuu un place, an' 'ope tat' et will be enuf? Iv' et falls, an' Yemekar forbid tat' et' duu, den we will 'ave nufin' except fur e' little wall in eh' mountain tat' can be cloimbed aroond', an' iv' sieged et' cannae 'ave trebutchets inn et'. Dey cannae guu aroond tae wall, fer dey need siege equipment tuu get tuu kal'Azgoth. Dey' cannae tayke siege equipment frew tae' mountains suu tae' unleh way is tae main road...

 

Tae' wall an' tae keep tat' will be wit' et will be loined wit' siege equipment, an' et' will be bluddeh 'ard tuu tayke et. Put everyfin' into sturms crossin', an' iv' et falls den we loose. Nae, always 'ave e' backup plan', an' eh backup plan fer iv' tat' fails tuu."

[Serf 647]

"We 'ave many 'olds tae keep beck tae Oren t'reat such as Barbek, Kastoria, Vaerhaven, and t'at shite 'o a wall oot Blackmauls Crossin'. Oot woold 'o been probably more 'o a benefit tae 'ave tae wall built oot Blackmaul t'an in tae middle 'o tae plains, an' foot'ills. Also wot if Oren uses t'eir naval fleet to just avoid attackin' ye wall.. wot use will ye wall de if t'at 'appens?"

[Watty_Banker 172]

Bardel looks to the old Dwarf who reminds him of his father

"Oime surreh, ah wish ah cud duh moar tuh 'elp protect us frum deh 'umans. But a 'ave used all deh stun I 'ave. Meybeh yuh shud ask Jarl Rosso uf Vaer'haven (Jistuma). He is a vureh koind man and ah trust eh wud give yer sumint."

With that Bardel falls back into the protesting crowd and is pushed and shoved until only the top of his white hair remains visable.

Hardir shakes his head, 

 

"An' we're alreadeh' on da' defence. 'Ah knew dis war was a bad idea..."
