Alaric has been in Urguan for over 200 years and know who the writers of DNN are.

A missive is posted to the Notice Board in the capital. ”All accusations leveled against me by Clan Irongrinder are entirely false. As such, I will be requesting the courts to charge them with the crime of Slander. By definition of the Articles of Urguan— 6. Slander 6.1 Slander is the crime of spreading known mistruths about a citizen of Urguan 6.2 Slander is a 4th Degree Crime. I will see you in court. -Alaric Grimgold”

ᛁᚾ ᛗᛁ ᛞᛖᚠᛖᚾᛊᛖ In My Defense: Fook off, Dor’Nal ᚠᛟᛟᚲ ᛟᚠᚠ ᛞᛟᚱ’ᚾᚨᛚ 6th of KHOR’UNN, 2A 162Y 1/7/2024 To Jorvin ‘Aenguldrang’ Starbreaker, Grand Reckoner of the High Courts, In response to the recent accusations levied against me, I wish to provide not only my defense, but counterclaims against the prosecution, as the charges levied against me are both false and overblown. The supposed incident did occur on the 12th of Azsol, as the accuser claims, as our soldiers returned from our victory in the East. I was busy talking with some of the other soldiers, when Dor’Nal began trying to recruit members of our populace to his supposed ‘Movement’. As the Dwarf he was speaking to suggested speaking to me as the High Prophet, Dor’Nal began launching into a tirade against my service as High Prophet, as well as claiming he would not be requiring my assistance. As I do not care to even offer him assistance, his claim that this is what provoked my response is absolutely ludicrous, when what the truth of what happened is I responded to his slander by saying the words of an honorless thief and traitor bore little sway on my feelings. To which, he took offense at my claims that he was both a thief and a traitor. If these accusations were unfounded, he would have a point behind this claim of slander. Yet, I can provide witnesses to the fact that he broke into houses while our soldiers defended the Urguani Capital of Kal’Darakkan on Almaris while we were busy defending against the Mori onslaught. As well do I have witnesses to the fact that he displayed both a Grimgold mask and a shield bearing our coat-of-arms both after the siege and here in Aevos. I believe all would agree that using the opportunity of your countrymen defending the capital against a foreign threat to steal from them instead of defending would constitute both treason and theft. The claims that I did not attempt restitution are also false, as I filed a complaint with the Justiciar at the time, who said with the move between continents that little could be done at the moment. Regardless, he then claims I harassed him after this interaction, which is also a false claim. I instead had tried to speak with Lurdoic Irongut and Thurgrim Silverbraid about a feast, to which Dor’Nal continued to interrupt trying to goad me into an honor duel, to which I told him multiple times to ‘fook off’. As by Section V, Article I, subsection 1 of the Codex of Laws of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan define harassment-- Harassment is the crime of persistent harrying of or hostile [sic] towards a citizen of Urguan despite multiple verbal warnings. Thus, under this definition, and myself having told Dor’Nal multiple times to ‘fook off’, I instead believe it is his actions that fall under the purvey of Harassment. On his claims that I said I would openly disregard the findings of the High Courts, this is entirely false, as can be attested by Lurdoic Irongut, I am the one who told Dor’Nal that he could take it to the High Courts and I would see him there. Given that he included this in a legal claim against me, I am certain this would fall under the legal definition of Slander. As it is evident he is presenting such to you in an attempt to present myself as unwilling to cooperate with the courts of justice. On the contrary, I cannot wait for justice to finally be served. Finally, his claim that my public and private office as High Prophet and a Clan Leader making this claim in front of other Dwarves somehow upgrades it to Subversion of Justice is absurd. According to Section VII, Article III, subsection 1 found within the Codex of Laws of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan-- Subversion of Justice is the crime of taking deliberate actions that undermine the authority of the High Courts in cases of legal matters within Urguan. This includes vigilantism. As you can see, this definition has nothing to do with any of my offices, publicly and privately held. I am uncertain for what he is attempting to charge me with Sedition for, but as by Section VII, Article II, subsection 1 of the Codex of Laws of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, Sedition is defined as the crime of spreading literature or speech intended to spread revolution or treason, this charge is also a false accusation leveled against me. As such, I seek to have these charges dismissed before the High Courts, and in return, wish to file the following charges against Dor’Nal Hammerfist: 4§1.1-2 Trespassing “The crime of being present on real property despite obvious visual or verbal warning on the part of the government or property owner.” The accused unlawfully entered my property for the purpose of committing a crime via entry through locked doors and keep out signs, while the townsfolk were busy with the defense against the Mori. 4§3.1-3.1 Theft “The crime of forcibly removing moveable property from the ownership of its lawful possessor.” The accused unlawfully removed both a sacred Grimgold clan mask and a shield belonging to the people of my clan from its place in my home. 4§4.1-2 Burglary “The crime of accessing a container without its owner’s permission.” The Mask and Shield were both located within a chest at my bedside table before their theft by the accused. 5§1.1-2.1 Harassment “The crime of persistent harrying of or hostile [sic] towards a citizen of Urguan despite multiple verbal warnings.” The accused was told on multiple times to ‘fook off’ by the defendant, in the presence of multiple witnesses, yet refused to drop the matter. 5§5.1-2 Murder “The crime of unlawfully taking the life of another, with or without their permission.” The accused grievously attacked the captured King of Norland in the presence of the entire nation, leading to mortal injury. If the case of death cannot be established, this should be changed to Conspiracy to commit Murder. 5§6.1-2 Slander “The crime of spreading known mistruths about a citizen of Urguan.” The accused publicly announced before the court that the defendant did not intend to follow the jurisdiction of the High Courts, a blatant mistruth. 6§3.1-2 Vigilantism “The crime of unnecessarily undertaking law enforcement without legal authority.” The accused publicly tried to overstep the authority of the Grand Marshal of the Legion and sought to slay the King of Norland to take justice into his own hands. 7§1.1-2 Treason “The crime of attempting subversion of state authority or the assassination of a representative of the King.” To quote a missive penned out by the accused directed to all Dwarves: “It is high time we consider taking back our kingdom, either through force or political means.” 7§2.1-2 Sedition “The crime of spreading literature or speech intended to provoke revolution or treason.” See Charges of Treason above. 7§3.1-2 Subversion of Justice “The crime of taking deliberate actions that undermine the authority of the High Courts in cases of legal matters within Urguan. This includes vigilantism.” Concurrent to previous charges of Vigilantism. 7§4.1-2 Insubordination “The crime of disrespect of or insufficient reverence for legitimate authorities of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan.” The accused has repeatedly sought to undermine and subvert the authority of the King and the Prophethood. 7§5.1-2 Conspiracy to commit Treason “The crime of conspiring to commit any other crime listed within this Code of Laws.” The accused has repeatedly sought to recruit new membership into his Movement, which as stated under charges of Treason, directly seeks to overthrow the kingdom by means of force. 7§6.1-2 Perjury “The crime of intentionally lying while under interrogation by a representative of the state.” The accused has presented multiple false testimonies in his testimony against the defendant. 7§8.1-2 Tax Evasion “The crime of failing to continually pay the full amount of your tax liability in a timely manner as outlined by the most recent tax rates provided by the Kingdom.” The accused illegally occupied the space of five C class houses by tearing down the walls between them while only paying the cost of a single C class domicile. 7§10.1-2 Unlicensed Construction “The crime of building out of code with any established rules and regulations on construction or decrees from the King or the Clan Council.” The accused unlawfully expanded his domicile to overtake the space of four other C class dwellings. In addition, I motion to have the organization known as ‘The Movement’ reclassified as a terrorist organization. =================== Signed, Alaric ‘the Black’ Grimgold High Prophet of the Kirkja Dverga Lord of Clan Grimgold Grand Master Smith of Urguan

Did you just choose not to read where I said don’t allow people to destroy your nodes? You are the team who controls that, you can’t allow them to do it, then complain they did.

Essentially all major mining and teaching RP has been killed with the removal of all forms of ST material mining. There is little reason to go exploring the world for secret mines and cool locations as on previous maps. I am aware ST was frustrated with the backlash of hogging of material by certain groups, and the destruction of the mines by said groups, but it seems that essentially removing the system entirely is not an appropriate response. As a suggestion, why not just implement hidden location with long period (seven day) global timers as is currently implemented with map accessible rare ores like netherite and amethyst. Do not allow the destruction of said nodes as previously allowed, except in very particular circumstances. We do not have the same issue with alchemy nodes and they work perfectly fine.

The altars and shrines dedicated to the Brathmordakin within the esteemed Temple of Kal'Kadrelaz have been vilely desecrated, defiled by a malevolent hand that seeks to undermine our sacred traditions and tarnish our devotion to the gods. Such an act is not only an affront to the faithful and the nation, but a heinous crime against the very essence of the Brathmordakin, who watch over our people and guide us with their divine presence. This act of sacrilege and heresy shall not go unanswered, for we, the followers of the Brathmordakin, shall stand united in our resolve to bring the perpetrator to justice. As is our solemn duty, the individual responsible for this heinous act shall be captured, tried, and, upon conviction, shall face the most severe of consequences. Heresy against the Brathmordakin and the desecration of sacred artifacts is a grave crime that strikes at the heart of our faith, and it shall be met with the full force of our devotion. Our faith has withstood the test of time and the trials of the world, and we shall not waver now. Our ancestors and the gods themselves look upon us with anticipation as we restore the sanctity of our shrines and temples. We call upon all faithful sons and daughters of the Stone to rally together, offering both prayer and vigilance, that we may guard against further acts of sacrilege. In unity and devotion to the Brathmordakin, we shall mend what has been broken and cleanse what has been defiled. Our faith shall emerge stronger, our commitment unwavering, and our devotion unshaken.

The time has come to celebrate the consecration of two exceptional champions, Jorvin 'Godslayer' Starbreaker and Sigrun 'Brathhammer' Stonehammer, whose unwavering faith and unyielding strength have woven their legends into the very fabric of our faith and people. Jorvin 'Godslayer' Starbreaker, a name that resounds through the ages, earned through valor and the undying dedication to our faith and nation. During the twilight years of the First Age, Jorvin, blessed by Dungrimm's own hand, led our kin into the crucible of battle against the vile demonic forces of Khorvad. It was there, upon the blood-soaked crater of Al'Faiz, that he clashed with the corrupted Aengul Gazardiel. In that fateful battle, Jorvin wielding the Hammer of Urguan rang true, and the vile corruption met its demise at his very hands. The skies cleared, and the Second Age dawned, rescuing our Descendant races from the precipice of destruction. Jorvin's unyielding spirit and strength have embodied the very essence of what a Dwed, what a King, should be. He proved that even when darkness shrouds us, we shall emerge, for the Brathmordakin watch over us all. Sigrun 'Undeadslayer' Stonehammer, has etched his name into the tapestry of our people's recent history through his indomitable courage and unwavering loyalty to the Brathmordakin. As the first to slay the lich-dragon Cloudbreaker, he led our soldiers through the flames of Balian to safety. During the trying times of the Mori Invasion, Sigrun's unwavering resolve and steadfast leadership in the defense of our capital proved pivotal in safeguarding our sacred halls. He has led the Legions of Urguan to countless victories and single handedly brought the Norlandic Conflict to its conclusion. His accomplishments have strengthened our Grand Kingdom and secured our faith in the face of adversity. The consecration of these two Heroes is not merely an honor for them, but a testament to the unwavering strength and enduring resolve of our people, our faith, and the Brathmordakin. Jorvin and Sigrun, through their actions and devotion, exemplify the very essence of our Dwed and serve as a beacon of inspiration to us all. As we gather in the depths of our stone halls, under the watchful eye of Yemekar and the entire Brathmordakin, let us raise our voices in unison to celebrate the consecration of these remarkable champions. May their deeds inspire us, and may they forever be remembered as living Heroes, for their devotion and bravery have solidified our faith and our place in this world. Yemekar's hammer guides our hand, Anbella's hearth warms our hearts, Dungrimm’s moon light our path, And the Brathmordakin watch over us all.

The recent disappearance of our beloved High Prophet Auriel Doomforge, Prophetess of Armakak, has left a void within our holy council, and we extend our prayers and gratitude for her guidance and wisdom throughout her stewardship of the faith. In tandem with this solemn occasion, we also recognize the retirement of two esteemed Prophets who have dutifully served our faith and people for countless years. Garedyn the Emerald, Prophet of Yemekar, our King, a pillar of strength and unwavering faith, and Tuzic Mossborn, Prophet of Ogradhad, the keeper of lore and wisdom, both have chosen to step aside, allowing their successors to carry forth the torch of our faith. With the faith in our hearts and the blessings of the Brathmordakin, it is my honor to accept the mantle of High Prophet in this time of transition. My name is Alaric 'the Black' Grimgold, and I bear the sacred duty as the Prophet of Dungrimm, the Masked Lord of Death and War. I pledge to honor the Brathmordakin, our ancestors, and our people with unwavering devotion, just as my esteemed predecessors have done. In the days ahead, we shall work together to select new Prophets to represent the gods and goddesses of the Brathmordakin. Their wisdom, strength, and devotion will guide our faith and our people into the future. We must remain vigilant and united, for our faith and the legacy of the Brathmordakin endure despite the challenges we face.

With a heavy heart and unyielding resolve, I, Alaric, bearer of the Grimgold bloodline, stand forth to denounce the vile massacre of the Goldhands, our brethren of the Brathmordakin, by the treacherous hand of Torsun Blackhand. In the shadow of the mountain, where the spirits of our ancestors watch over us, I declare my unshakable allegiance to the principles of honor, unity, and justice. The Goldhands, rightful heirs to their own legacy, have been subjected to an unspeakable atrocity, wrought by the betrayer Torsun Blackhand. His actions have severed the bonds of kinship that bind us, tainting the very essence of what it means to be a child of the Brathmordakin. I, Alaric of Clan Grimgold, stand resolute against this heinous act, and I shall not rest until my nephew, Davli Goldhand, is freed from the clutches of darkness that ensnare him. Upon the sacred Brathmordakin, I swear this oath, calling upon the Masked Lord Dungrimm, God of War, Death, and Judgement, whose wisdom guides us through the trials of battle and the fires of judgment. As the forge hammer strikes the anvil, so shall my resolve remain unyielding, and I shall lead a force of stalwart Dwarven warriors, blessed by the Brathmordakin, to rescue Davli from the abyss that threatens to consume him. We shall not falter, and we shall not be swayed, for the spirit of our ancestors flows through our veins, empowering us with the strength to overcome any foe. To Torsun Blackhand, the traitor who sullied the honor of the Dwarven race, I issue a warning: Your deeds shall not go unpunished. The wrath of the Brathmordakin shall be upon you, and the justice of the Masked Lord Dungrimm shall be swift and unyielding. Your days are numbered, and your treachery shall be your undoing. Let it be known across the realms that Clan Grimgold stands united with the Goldhands in this time of darkness, as the mountain stands tall and unyielding against the storms that assail it. We shall fight shoulder to shoulder with the survivors, and our bond as kin shall never be severed. May the Brathmordakin bear witness to this declaration, and may our ancestors guide and bless our righteous quest to bring justice and rescue Davli Goldhand from the clutches of betrayal. By my sword hand and my heart, I, Alaric of Clan Grimgold, affix my name to this solemn declaration. Signed,

The Lord of Untarnished Gold wakes once more to bring death to the traitor.

“Warmongers? Are ye a daft *****? Norland, ye own nation, attacked us in our very capital. How foolish do ye think yer own citizens are dat ye would so boldly lie to der faces? Did ye nae think ye would suffer reprisal fo’ such an aggressive action? Ye are de only one to blame fo’ dis lad’s son being raised without his paw.” The old Dwarf scowled, using the penned missive as toilet paper, shoving it down the hole of the outhouse. “Wot a load o’shit!”

Alaric threw the missive in the trash. “Durin has caused enough o’de Kingdom’s issues. Ah propose Durin be formally charged wit’ treason and sentenced to a permanent removal o’his beard and exiled into Yrromarri Lands.”

Alaric prepared to step up the guard for the coronation, making sure to promote heavy handed and oppressive tactics against Cave Dwarves.
