If there is any chance of a Siege happening this weekend, we'd like to know tonight. The Tripartite is also aiming for Sunday, rather than Saturday, as a good number of our folk are not free Saturday. Can be same time, around 3pm EST.

Grand King Ulfric balled his hand into a fist whilst he retrieved the missive. "Took longeh t'an o'I imagined fer 'im teh switch, but et was neveh ah surproisin' possibilieh." He'd say, shaking his head. "Oh well, toime teh do w'at weh do best."

Grand King Ulfric chuckled. “O’I’ve nae even seen teh lass in sometoime, but everybody needs ah hobby o’I ‘spose.” He’d then stand, pouring himself a drink. “Wondeh ‘ow she’s doing’ anyways…”

12th of Sun’s Smile, SA 59 (Jan. 16th. 2022) ᚾᚨᚱᚺ-ᛞᚨ-ᚾᚨᚴᚺᚢᛗ'ᚢᚱ-ᛞᚨ-ᛟᚱᚡᚢᛚ-ᚾᚨᚴᚺᛁᛗᛁᚱᚨᛉ IN ANSWER TO YAVOK’S FOLK ᚡᛖᛚᛖᚱᚨᚴ-ᛟᛉ-ᛞᚨ-ᛟᚾᛟᚱ'ᚴᚨᛞᚱᛖᛚ'ᚾᚨᚱᚺᛖ Two centuries ago, an age of continued dwarven rule was disrupted by the chaos of the War of the Beards, which brought the forces of the Brathmordakin to their weakest. After the fall of many city states which had risen in the power vacuum, one would stand triumphant and reclaim the honor of old Urguan: Agnarum. Ever since the reunification of the dwarves, it has been a steady crawl back to our former glory. For decades, it was always a fight for our very unified existence. Now here in Almaris, we stand together as a Kingdom truly deserving of the title “Grand.” Our prosperity has reached great heights, with a booming Workforce composed of many successful guilds and rich workers. The forges incessantly burn with the fire of industry and our anvils never cooled by inaction. Even without the blessings of the runes, the dwarves have forged great works that our predecessors would marvel at. The great throngs of Urguan are at their mightiest, full of not only dwarves, but also mighty men who live with us in the valleys and meadows of the mountains. We have forged strong bonds, and shall forge them stronger yet in the years to come, encouraging our vassals to grow and our mountains to stand taller with towers and turrets, so that no enemy shall ever wrong our folk. We shall cooperate further with our allies, and ensure that our pacts shall last centuries longer in shared peace and prosperity. Our empire is vast, rivaling that of many great kingdoms of man, and allied with the greatest among them. We have come much farther than the humbled dwarves hiding away in the caverns of Atlas alone could have ever imagined. No doubt, we are at the beginning of a Golden Age. For some however, this unrivaled age of prosperity was not enough. There are those who are unable, or perhaps just unwilling, to share the glory with their kin but demand a greater place amongst their brothers. The Intimidations of Clan Ireheart After the height of Urguan and Haense’s victory in the siege against Southbridge, Clan Ireheart decided to test their fame and sought a meeting with the Lordship of Du Loc. Here they asked the settlement to become a vassal to their clan, especially after their aid against a beast which had attacked the Lordship. This was perceived as an insult and a threat, causing Du Loc to then accuse the dwarves on the world stage of conquest. A miscommunication free of guilt on either side, certainly. Ulfric Frostbeard, desiring peace with the long time neutral neighbors of Urguan, went with some of his councilors to Du Loc and resolved the issue, not once admitting that the Irehearts had intended to threaten Du Loc nor ceding ground to the humans, only to guarantee the Leaders of Du Loc knew there was no need to call for aid, as there would not be a fight. Ulfric completed his duty as Grand King to protect the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and its honor. To ensure that we would not make war with good folk and dispel rumors, and did so using diplomacy, not the ax. In return, Clan Ireheart - who began this conflict by meeting without the King and the Kingdom in an attempt to gain power over Du Loc for themselves, thus jeopardizing the entirety of Urguan during a time of war, for the pride of their clan - declared Ulfric Frostbeard a traitor to the Kingdom. Clan Ireheart then demanded that Ulfric Frostbeard submit to their terms and challenged the Grand King to an honor duel within their Clan Hall when he refused, with their full folk rallied along with mercenaries present. When Ulfric denied both their demands and their challenge, and attempted to leave peacefully, Clan Ireheart proceeded to chase after the Grand King, weapons in hand, driving him from the city and down the road, before driving him into the dirt and surrounding him. Once again, they tried to pressure the Grand King into an honor duel, and were once again refused. Only then did they let him leave in peace. This is nothing short of intimidation of the Grand King, attempting to force him into a duel so that Clan Ireheart could beat him into submission. There is no question of honor, for no honor had been insulted. The Grand King upheld his duty, yet despite Ulfric’s ever open ears, Bakir Ireheart, Ulfric Frostbeard's own and trusted King’s Hand, led his folk to ignore attempts at reasonable resolution and instead escalated to scare tactics. The very same tactics employed against orcs and elves, employed upon their own King. As many know, afterwards Clan Ireheart made their list of utterly unreasonable terms of settlement. In this sham of a declaration, the actions of the dwarven monarch four reigns ago were dredged up from the past, as well as their discontent at losing a fair election two reigns ago. All to give their imagined slight concerning Du Loc the image of justified rage, but it is nothing more than a pathetic power play. They demand the Grand Kingdom repay them for wrongs that were never committed, and rather than appeal to the council or through any legitimate means offered to them within the Kingdom, means in which they very likely would have been successful, Clan Ireheart elects to intimidate and put themselves above their kin. This is blatant subversion of the very institutions of which they have always proclaimed to be staunch protectors. What many do not know is that Clan Ireheart did not even have the honor or decency to wait for their terms to be addressed. Instead they immediately traveled to Oren that very stone evening, and petitioned the Emperor, declaring they would no longer fight for Urguan in the war and seeking the Empire to launch a counterattack against Urguan’s occupied territories. This is nothing short of an utter and outright betrayal of all the Sons of Urguan and all the Citizens of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. The Reprimand from the Grand Council: Despite what many within Clan Ireheart seem to believe, they had held no disgrace in their kin’s hearts before their intimidations. No doubt, their clan was respected by all others with few individual exceptions. If they truly had grievances and disagreements, certainly through the legitimate avenues they would have successfully resolved them, but the pride of Yavok’s Folk has betrayed them. Left with no other choice, last stone evening the Grand Council, with the exception of Clan Ireheart, met with the Grand King to discuss these recent treasonous actions. After much deliberation, an overwhelming majority of the council has agreed to the following measures: First, let there be no debate. All demands made from Clan Ireheart to Grand King Ulfric Frostbeard and the Council of Urguan are denied outright. Second, let there be no disunity. Clan Ireheart is removed from its seat on the Grand Council of Urguan, only to be reinstated by a 66% majority vote of the Grand Council. Third, let there be no doubt. All members of Clan Ireheart shall be stripped of their Legion and Kingdom titles, along with the powers and the responsibilities which accompany them. Fourth, let there be no grudges. Each Ireheart who has signed his name to their ill-fated cause shall publicly apologize to Grand King Ulfric Frostbeard and swear a new oath of loyalty in the presence of the Council of Urguan. Until a Son of Yavok has made this oath, the previous terms shall be held against him. Fifth, let the instigator face justice. Gror Ireheart, publicly identified as the most traitorous of the Irehearts, shall be banished from Urguan for eternity. Sixth, let the followers face justice. Bakir Ireheart, the Rikkin of Clan Ireheart, and Ragrin Ireheart, who publicly called for Irehearts to dethrone Grand King Ulfric Frostbeard, must submit themselves to a formal trial before the High Courts of Urguan. If these terms are deemed unfair by Clan Ireheart, then understand this; you are free sons and daughters of Urguan, and despite your actions, the glory of previous cooperation cannot be forgotten. You are free by your nature created by Yemekar to be discontented, and if you find the Grand Kingdom’s denial of your demands unfavorable, then you are free to depart at your will, just as you departed under Norli. Know that you shall only be allowed to return upon resolving your wrongs, and as equals to all dwarves. If we are so corrupt and destitute in Urguan, and that it is far greater for dwarves to live as secondary vassals to Irehearts in all times; then go ahead and go. You are released from your oaths, and I pray the Brathmordakin guide you. To the rest of the realm, to Almaris, Urguan offers this warning; This changes nothing. Urguan shall stand strong for centuries to come, with or without Clan Ireheart. We shall uphold our honor with no hesitation, alongside our great allies and vassals who have fought alongside us.

The Grand Kingdom of Urguan Urguan Discord: [Click Here] About The Grand Kingdom ================== The Grand Kingdom of Urguan is a constitutional monarchy established to unify and represent the Dwarven race. The Grand Kingdom itself is one with tremendous history, being the sole nation of the Dwarves for a millennia, leading back to the very first dwarf himself, Urguan. Represented through the colors of orange and gray, the nation has united the Dwarves under its banner through common religion, culture, and ideals. The religion of the land, the Brathmordakin, is a polytheistic religion composed of 7 gods, each of which represent a different aspect of Dwarven culture. Throughout history, Urguan has been best known for their expert craftsmanship, unique clan diversity, beautiful underground cities, engineering capabilities, and wartime strategy. Now on the realm of Almaris, the Grand Kingdom continues to serve as the top Dwarven hub, occupying a sprawling mountainside on the South-East section of the realm. [THESE SECTIONS CAN AND MOST LIKELY WILL CHANGE OVER TIME] The Settlements of Urguan ================== The Capital City of Kal’Darakaan Kal’Darakaan, or “the City of the Ancient Might,” is a subterranean dwarven metropolis that serves as the capital of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Being the largest and only Dwarven hub on Almaris, the city is a staple for dwarven culture, craftsmanship, and religion. Within the capital city, travellers can expect to find multiple clan halls, housing districts, a bustling market, a Brathmordakin temple, Grand Arena, and large area for craftsmen to hone their skills. Unknown to many is the city's origins, as the modern Dwarves of Urguan were not the ones to construct the city. Through the investigation of clues left behind, many believe the city to have been a colony of the ancient Dwarves, hence its name of ‘Ancient Might’. ================== The Forest Dwarf Village of Hefrumm The Forest Dwarf Village of Hefrumm is a town settled in the woodland valley surrounding the capital city of Kal’Darakaan.

Living amongst the flora and fauna specific to the region, strolling through the village is a beautiful nature walk for all to take on. The smell of roasting boar and spilled carrot ale often radiates from the Hefrumm Tavern and Inn. Some of their practices are seen no where else throughout the realm, such as the Seers, a branch of the Brathmordakin faith with an emphasis on spiritual guidance. ================== The Crimson Edict Karmesinfels, a mountain settlement to the East of the Dwarven Docks, can be seen by some as a tourist destination with its beautiful architecture and winding vineyard. A working redstone tower's chimes call out across the valley every morning and evening, with a warm tavern connected at its feet for travellers. Next door is the Red Croupier Casino, the first casino on these lands with fully automatic slot machines and a working roulette table. There's also a magnificent belltower with a shop in its base, a greenhouse, the Knox Apartments, and a war memorial all surrounding the central castle, home to the Crimson Edict. The castle is mostly residential to members of the ancient order, though it does have its own bar, grand hall, bank, and bathhouse, with its grand crypts beneath.

Grand King Ulfric groaned as he saw the missive fly by his desk. He'd grumble as he stood. "W'at 'ave t'ey gotten t'emselves into t'is toime..." He'd mumble, walking off with a drink in his hand and an icepack for his head.

The March Onwards “This time we will not forget the siege equipment.” - Atandt Irongrinder, remembering the Siege of Mynebor. The cowardly Orenian army has retreated. The road to Southbridge is open.

Grand King Ulfric gives the agreement a frown. "Don't remembeh 'earin' anythin' ov t'is..." He'd say, swirling the latest Frostbeard mead in his glass. He'd then shrug. "Ah, o'I'll just remoind em teh run it by meh next toime, nae much an issue, t'is. Besoides, got ah battle teh put mah moind teh." He'd then light his cigar, going to relax for the rest of the night.

Grand King Ulfric chuckled.

Grand King Ulfric reads the part of Nor’Asath, and wonders if this is what they wished to speak to him about…

Grand King Ulfric would read such a missive with an ever-raised brow, peering over letters and the such afterwards. He'd lean back and smile, offering only one phrase. "T'at's one way teh solve ah problem alroight."

BD, BD, BD. Where to begin. You were one of the few people I’ve come to trust completely in this treacherous RP (and OOC) world of LOTC. You’ve been straightforward, kind, hardworking, passionate, and of high rarity, one to let RP stay in RP. It’s been the pleasure of my life to get to work with you since becoming Grand King, and whilst it’s an utter disappointment of the teams that failed you, I promise one way or another one of us dwed will pickup where you left off and ensure that your promise is fulfilled, if only in a different way. Hope life, and other folk outside of LOTC, treat you with the respect you deserve, and I do hope we can continue to play games and all that jazz. The RP has been astronomical, and I surely won’t forget it or you. And while I know by all means it’s a Hail Mary, I hope one day things improve to a point you return to us, as I for sure would welcome you back with open arms. Till then, take it easy BDan, gonna miss you and Dorimnur very much. - Terry
