6th First Seed, SE 96 30/09/2022 __________________________________________________________ ᛗᛁᚾᛁᛜ Mining Hoard Act ᚺᛟᚨᚱᛞ _________________________________________________________ Many enterprising dwarves seek their fortunes in the mines by selling the rare ores they acquire. However, these ores are often sold to foreign markets, leaving no ores of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan to provide its craftsmen to trade. This bill aims to slowly and steadily grow the supply of rare ores and materials for the Grand Kingdom of Urguan to be able to provide to its guilds and craftsmen for the furthering of dwarven craftsmanship. Article I - High Prospector For rare or such as azhl, starsteel, boomsteel, etc, expeditions led by the High Prospector on behalf of the Workforce or the Kingdom will be obliged to return ore as per the article below. Private mining operations need not follow the articles below. Article II - Distribution Should only 1 ore be gathered the ore is to be given to the Kingdom, then once the ores are smelted the bars of it will be redistributed to those involved in the mining group, though 1 bar will be kept by the kingdom. Should 2 or 3 ores be gathered, 1 ore will be given to the kingdom, with no distribution of ingots afterwards. Should 4 or more ores be gathered, 2 ores will be given to the kingdom, with no distribution of ingots afterwards. Article III - Purchasing The Grand Kingdom will offer to buy rare ores from individuals and groups at market rates, for the ore to be gathered in its hoard. Article IV - Tariff Those dwedmar that wish to sell their ores to foreigners or non dwarven markets will have to pay a 50 mina tariff fee. They do not have to pay such a fee to sell to the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. _____________________________________________________ Signed, Garedyn The Green, High Chief of Hefrumm, Chief of the Mossborn, Seer of Hefrumm, Priest of Yemekar, Grand Steward of Urguan, Lieutenant of Dungrim’s Legion, Grand Admiral of Belka’s Fleet Agnar Grandaxe, Grand Chancellor of Urguan, Commander of the Legion, Clan Father of Grandaxe, Defender of Kal'Ordholm

Inside this bill it will contain three sections containing: Clan Representation, and Selection of Regent. I - Clan Representation All clans are guaranteed a seat in the Senate so that they may be able to be represented to debate and bring forth bills before the Senate. Though all clans that are not eligible by normal guidelines will still be unable to vote. II - Selection of Regent If Regency is needed, the Grand King is able to select his own choice for Regent. If he/she is unable to select their Regent, the Senate will nominate and declare their own Regent if needed. The selected Regent by the Grand King shall be required to be voted on by the Senate for approval, if they are to hold the position for more than a stone week. If they are in need of removal, it shall require ¾ of the Senate to remove. ============= Signed, Agnar Grandaxe, Grand Chancellor of Urguan, Commander of the Urgauni Legion, Clan Father of Grandaxe, Defender of Kal’Ordholm

The Friendship of Sun & Stone Agreed upon by: The Order of the Golden Lion & The Grand Kingdom of Urguan On the 9th of Sun’s Smile, 85 S.A Article I - The Valley of Sunbreak Upon the signing of this document, the valley in which the former fortress of Sunbreak resides shall be bequeathed to the Order of the Golden Lion for resettlement and reconstruction, in reaffirmation of the original agreement between the Underrealm and the Order. The bequeathed land does not extend beyond the confines of the valley. This land shall not be considered sovereign ground of the Grand Kingdom, and instead the neutral territory of the Order of the Golden Lion. Should the Order of the Golden Lion vacate the valley, the territory is thereby freely and readily returned to the Grand Kingdom for settlement by the Sons of Urguan. Article II - Political Independence & Neutrality of the Valley The Order of the Golden Lion, in adherence to the Third and Fourth Creed of the Patron under the Creeds of Xan, are sworn to strict and unwavering political neutrality alongside abstinence from warfare - this reaffirmed, as the Golden Lion will not mobilize against the Grand Kingdom using the land acquired, or indeed, any other mortal kingdom. Should the Order of the Golden Lion’s duties require them to bear arms against a Son or Daughter of Urguan, the relevant authorities of the Grand Kingdom such as the High Prophet or Grand King shall be consulted when engaging in hostilities with the wayward Son or Daughter of Urguan at the earliest opportunity to pursue the heretical dwarf in question jointly, in adherence to the terms agreed upon prior between the Order and the Grand Kingdom under the reign of Levian'Tol Grandaxe. Both the Order of the Golden Lion and the Grand Kingdom of Urguan hereby agree never to intervene in the political affairs of the other, unless specifically requested by the other. The Affairs of each signatory are to be their own. The Order of the Golden Lion politely refuses the offer of a seat upon the King’s Council in accordance with the above, leaving the shaping of Urguan’s future entirely to the Dwedmar. Both parties may advise the other in relevant matters, but in votes, policy and governance, each are wholly independent. The Order of the Golden Lion, as a politically independent entity, will no longer pay a weekly tax on their holdings in the valley. Article III - Promise of Aid & Camaraderie The Order of the Golden Lion, in gratitude of the friendship offered by the Grand Kingdom and their permissed resettlement of the valley, will offer 7 refined ingots of Thanhium and a single raw chunk of Thanhium to the treasure trove of the Grand Kingdom to do as they wish, alongside an additional dozen ‘Black Arrows,’ intended for use against the Greater Drake known as ‘Cloudbreaker’. The schematics for these Black Arrows have, likewise, been provided to the High Prophet Norli Starbreaker for further production by the Grand Kingdom. Alatáriel Athna & Norli Starbreaker will continue their work in the industrialization of the Grand Kingdom, and the education of select dwedmar in artifice and material science alongside the Worker’s Guild. In reaffirmation of the Third Creed of the Realms under the Creeds of Xan, the Order affirms its willingness to aid and advise the Grand Kingdom in matters pertaining to the Dark, Dragonspawn, and Aberrant when the situation calls - as it offers unto all other realms who’s requests and hearts are true and virtuous. Should the Order and the Grand Kingdom find disagreement or discontent to fester, they will seek to resolve all such affairs through diplomatic means for a peaceful and amicable resolution. Article IV - Duration This document, and its terms, shall remain valid until such a time as both signatories agree to absolve them, or upon such a time that the Order of the Golden Lion (or its successors) vacates the valley. Alternatively, should either party be found to be in violation of this treatise, the agreement will be rendered null should proper settlement not be reached or agreed upon.

9th of Sun’s Smile, SA 85 17/07/2022 ᚺᛖᚠᚱᚢᛗᛗ ᛊᚨᚠᛖᛏᛁ ᚨᚲᛏ Hefrumm Safety Act ᚨᛁᛞ ᛏᛟ ᛟᚢᚱ ᚨᛚᛚᛁᛖᛊ Due to the threat of war and attacks upon Urguan by dragons, it has come to our realization that Hefrumm itself is exceptionally vulnerable to these types of threats. Hefrumm, one of Urguans founding members and supporters of Dwarven unity, lacks the necessary measures to deal with the aftermath of a targeted martial attack or draconic fire. This bill aims to provide a safety net for all forest dwarves, if the worst were to come to their village. Article I - Location of Stay In the case of the destruction, foreign occupation or of rendering Hefrumm unlivable, the citizens of Hefrumm will be allowed to take shelter in available housing in Urguan. While residing in Urguan under the conditions stated above, Hefrummos will not be forced to pay tax. Article II - Duration of Stay The citizens of Hefrumm will be able to reside in Urguan under the conditions stated in Article I, until the force threatening Hefrumm has been cleared and Hefrumm has been restored to its former state before the destructive event. =================== Signed, Garedyn The Mossy Chief of the Mossborn, Senator of Hefrumm, Steward of Hefrumm.

D'e Legion officers and I 'ad a meetin' w'ere we decided d'at due to d'e lack o' applications to d'e Legion d'at we s'ould seek ways to get people to join. So we've decided to bring ye' a bill about a mandatory conscription. Eac' dwed are to serve in d'e military to get experience and to only serve only about fifteen to twenty years.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi decree twenteh stone minutes o' debate on dis proposal.” Falk Irongut: “Frankleh, ah foind t'is bill tantamount ta ahn attempt ta enslave dwedmar. Evereh dwed es born wit' ah natural right ta choose 'is pursuit ehn loife, teh oat's 'e swears, ahn most importantleh o' all, w'o 'e fights fer!

Not only d'is, we d'e officers o' d'e Legion ask for land to be given to build a new encampment for trainin's and suc'. D'e current one we 'ave is too far and not in use. If we are granted d'is it will allow us to train our soldiers better.” Falk Irongut: “Then let them choose ta fight! Forcing them ta fight es not'in more t'en enslaving them, somet'in which weh made 'gainst our own laws centurehs agu” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alroite folks let's keep dis ordeleh.

You know tha' from tha' time ov my youth, tae my reign as King. I fought in tha' Legion wit'out complaint. Ah'm ah' soldier firs', always 'ave been, ah'n I've been on er'ry battlefield against ah're foes since ah' was young…” Agnar Grandaxe: “'Ave ye' seen d'e state o' our military?” He'd pause for a minute. “We need more soldiers and people to serve to protect our Kingdom. D'is bill will only 'elp us to do d'at, not only d'is it will allow us to ensure all citizens are trained properly. Look at our front gates, a Dragon attacked and our citizens need to be trained to defend.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Havin' said that. This was written by ah'n ejit.” Danika Ireheart: “State why.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Agnar, yer may respond.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “When 'ef ever, 'as conscription ever worked as intended? Much less in peacetime!” Svardin Grandaxe: “In the grand days ae SKIPPY IRONGUT! We won the rebellion wi' a conscription.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “What ah're tha' critera? What ages cah'n ah' Dwarf beh consripted ah't? What ah'bout tha' infirm, tha' sick, tha' cripple?” Aghal Frostbeard: “ENUFF GRANDAXE.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Wha' ah'bout those Dwarves such as mah' clansmen, wit' holy obligations? Ah'n why tha' hell do you need ah' new encampment? We've ah' perfectly good one alreadeh.” Danika Ireheart: “It literalleh says whoi.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “O'I mus' retoire, but o'I wish teh say somethin', moighty small, befer o'I do.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Danika enuff. 'old on, Agnar can Ulfric speak firs'.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Ah'm not lookin' for tha' opinion ov beardlings. Yeh've tha' floor Ulfric.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “O'I will keep t'is vereh quick, so t'at othehs who are waitin' can speak. But teh world 'as changed, t'at much es obvious. Wars are in biggeh numbehs nowadays t'en t'ey 'ave been befer. Wit' t'at said, our military mus' beh readeh fer w'ateveh may come. Last toime et was ah dragon, but w'at ov next? Conscription, whoilst o'I may not t'ink et es necessarily teh exact answer, es as gud ah answer as o'I've seen so far. Wit' t'at said, attackin' one anotheh fer who did t'is an' who showed up t'ere is downroight atrocious, an' shoul' beh teh las' option, ef an option at all. Werk togeteh, spend ah whole senate meetin' discussin' et ef yeh mus'. But do somethin' teh solve teh problem, not prolong/ et some mer. Farewell fer now kin.” Agnar Grandaxe: “First I do not d'ink insultin' will prove ye' case against d'is bill by callin' me an idiot. D'e age limit is quite common sense knowledge for it. We've seen in ot'er nations like Haense 'As done conscription before s'owin' success in it. So 'as some ot'er nations. For d'e asking o' w'y d'e Legion needs a new encampment is quite in ye'r own words, idiotc d'ing to say. D'e current location o' d'e one we 'ave is not useful for d'e Legion. It is too far and d'e Legion deserves a encampment closer and d'at will allow us to use it d'e way it is needed to be used.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alroite, Celeste yer may say yer piece.” Celeste'Tol Blackroot: “As much as ahm sure t'at conscription wul' solve teh problem, ah duh worreh, realleh, fer teh impact et'll 'ave.. 'Swell as wit wot Ulfric said, ah du'nae t'ink et's teh exact anseh tuh teh problem. Frum moi toime 'ere, ah've noticed ah distinct lack ef advertoisen fer teh legion, er ah real reason teh join ot'eh t'en.. Honor, ah s'pose? Weh's dwed, weh loike ah reason fer thins ot'eh t'en jus 'doin et'. Ah t'ink weh nae 'ave enough access teh join teh legion, nor duh weh 'ave much fer goins-on ot'eh t'en teh occasional.. Joint trainin'? Weh need teh 'ave teh legion doin thins, nae jus' sittin 'round and trainin an existen. Ah t'ink t'ere's ah betteh way. Personalleh, ah can see teh legion doin communiteh thins, ah knowh et's nae teh perfec solution, bot jus luuk at 'owh our front gate 'as been burned. Ah sense of kin en teh legion wul' beh ah 'uge draw, 'swell as adventurin an such, eh? Teh legion, en moi opinion, needs more toime teh grow close an fer dwed teh see t'at kinship. Makin et more accessible an showin openleh wot teh legion can give yeh in terms of experience, t'at es ah solution.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Agnar yer may speak in response.” Falk Irongut: “Aye, celeste es ohn teh roight track. Greater incentives fer folk joinin teh legion, rather t'en tryin ta force ehm.” Celeste'Tol Blackroot: “Personalleh, ah've nae been sure ow teh even join teh legion fer years.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi decree an extra twenteh stone minutes o' debate toime.” Agnar Grandaxe: “D'e issue 'as been goin' on longer d'an I 'ave returned to d'e Kingdom and Legion. D'e Legion 'as been quite inactive wit' it's number o' soldiers. D'ough we 'ave advertised well in d'e Legion by joint trainin's wit' d'e Vale and 'ave put up posters about joinin' d'e Legion. D'ough as Ulfric 'as pointed out, due to d'e recent dragon attack on d'e city it s'owed me d'at d'e dweds of Urguan need trainin'. D'ey need to be prepared and we are willin' to give it to d'em by d'is conscription.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Ah'n payin' them in ah're worthless currenceh 'et seems.” Balor Ireheart: “Nae.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Oh? Ah've we returned to thae minae then? Thank Armakak.” Bakir Ireheart: “Conscription wos onleh used in extreme circumstances. Et should onleh take effect durin war. Out of wartoime, dwed shoult beh wantin tuh join durin peacetoime.” Celeste'Tol Blackroot: “Aye, ah agree wit' Bakir.” Falk Irongut: “Bakir 'olds ah decent middle ground, but evehn t'at es slippereh. Teh last war showed t'at dwedmar'll fight for Urguan whether they're officialleh ehn teh legion 'r nae. Ef t'ats teh case, why 'ave conscript'n durin wartime?” Balor Ireheart: “Not te' subject.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Falk, do ye' d'ink d'at d'e Vale s'ould be outrallin' our military in joint trainin's?” Falk Irongut: “Sureleh nae, but ah count t'at as ah failureh o' teh legion leadehship, one t'at'll nae be fixed by enslavin yeh kin ahn forcin ehm ta fight. Giving more incentives ta join teh legion es ah better opt'n t'en shacklin yeh kin ahn puttin ehm in teh shield wall” Balor Ireheart: “We nar enslave te'm.” Bakir Ireheart: “Den recruit. Past Ireheart Gran Marshals were famous fer takin dwed out and visitin otha cities tuh bring lads intuh dah legion.” Falk Irongut: “Oh? Would yeh give teh lads teh choice ta fight 'r nae? 'r would yeh force ehm ta fight?” Bakir Ireheart: “And wit mah vassal system, vassals will have levies tuh call upon.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Conscription, in tha' years since Fimlin, Utak, ah'n I reforged this Kingdom in forgefire ah'n steel, has nevah' worked. Tha' Dwarves born in tha' peace weh forged do nae serve out ov obligation or tha' threat ov conscription, as weh did durin' tha War-Years, or ah're Elders did in tha' ages passed… Tha' much 'es certain. Besides ah' generation ov fatherless Dwarves, 'as tha' Legion ev'n concluded why people ah're nay joinin'?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alroite lad's let's naet 'ave a shouten match. Jorvin der floor es yers." Jorvin Starbreaker: “Ah'. I will keep 'et brief for tha' sanity ov those here.” Balor Ireheart: “Te' problem all te' dweeds 'ave been 'ave either been in te' legion or t'ey don't want to join.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Fank yer Balor, but let Jorvin talk aye?” Agnar Grandaxe: “Ye' say failure in leaders'ip o' d'e Legion, and ye' seem to be quite d'e talker. Per'aps ye' would like to take d'e open position o' Grand Mars'al, and maybe ye' could s'ow us old veterans in d'e Legion 'ow it's truly ran.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Agnar, let Jorvin finish.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Did ah' say that? I asked if tha' Legion 'as concluded as tae why 'ets numbers ah're ah't tha' lowest they've been since Atandt Oir'ngrindah' was king…. Ah'n if suuh, why ah're they tryin' tae use ah' system which 'as never worked tae remedy 'et?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Agnar a response?” Haakon Frostbeard: “Yew talk about Wut deh legion es duu'en wrong but s'ow no action, Ef yew fink sumtin we're duu'en es wrong den w'y don't you Step up tuu be grand marshal“ Agnar Grandaxe: “We've talked to some dwed. Some don't fig't, some wants to focus on d'e workforce, and some just don't 'ave an answer as to w'y.

Deh legion has shown lack o' skill in supernatural battle, such as deh void and deh pirates. Oi watched moi own comrades die undeh deh command o' those foolish enuff teh think we be fighten Umrehs or Uruks. With all respect fur deh ancestors, deh Legion is grand, et es powerful, but it's current state es bland, ah husk. How can we join ah 'legion' that does nae have each others back?

Let's get dis meetin undawey, todeh oi was finken we could start a debate on der current - per'aps unsatisfactoreh, state o' our courts.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Wot es tereh toh talk aboot. Weh got an idiot wearin' ah togah fer proportional clan representatiuhn.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Sigrun let's not go off topic.” Sigrun Ireheart: “How es tat off topic. Oi literalleh descroibed exactleh wot tes es.” Lothgar Grandaxe: “Da courts aer manned by seclusive dwed who weh rareleh see en recent times - dat es ah concern o moine.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi fail ter see 'ow meh togah beh relevant. Aye, Lothgar oi fink yer roite. Falk 'as naet been seen in years, yet 'e is Lord Justiciar.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “O'I coul' tell yeh why.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye Ulfric?” Ulfric Frostbeard: “W'at exactleh es t'ere teh do as ah representative ov teh courts? As ah past Lord Justiciar, o'I can tell yeh t'at t'ere es nothin'.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Taeh high court es mostleh filled wit activeh dwed thoogh, nonetheless.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Sigrun duu yer even know w'o our magistrates are?” Sigrun Ireheart: “When 'aveh weh evah needed toseh.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Neveh, because ov folks loike in yer clan.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Oi say taeh Gran' Marshal gets toh deal oot punishments. Gives moi Legiohn somethin' toh doh.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Der legion can arrest folk aye, pending trial.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “T'at's jus' teh problem. Weh 'ave laws, but t'ey are neveh followed because ov our culture, our tradition. We'd ratheh beat teh livin' shoite out ov each otheh t'en await punishment from teh Courts.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Gud.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “T'at bordehs becomin' uncivilized.” Lothgar Grandaxe: “Ah bring up ah question, frem wat oi understand. Sumthin called dah 'Edict' 'elps run dah courts, aer deh dwed? - Oim Lothgar Grand'axe, Son of Hurin Grandaxe” Aghal Frostbeard: “Nae der edict beh a monster foiten organisation so oi 'eard.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Nae.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi must beh mistaken den?” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Teh Edict acts as an 'inquisition' force. 'Elps teh Justiciar an' 'is Magistrates in trackin' down suspects, workin' investigations, an' teh loike.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ah see.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Oi'm off.” Aghal Frostbeard: “See yer Sigrun...” Sigrun Ireheart: “Ef anehthin' important comes up Duren, doh yer ting.” Duren Ireheart: “Aye laddeh.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alroiteh, oi did 'ave a suggestion concernen Ulfric's thoughts on der justiciar role.” Lothgar Grandaxe: “Wot es dah suggestion?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Per'aps we could give der role more tah duu, per'aps somefin ter duu wid smaller criminal claims - a small claims court. Loike somewun stealen frum another Dwed, petty crimes oi guess. Could settle smaller grudges tuu. Justiciar could 'ost dis evereh stone week, er two stone weeks. Bout a stone 'our, 'andlen justice.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “'Ow maneh dwed, er citizens ratheh, do yeh thenk woul' go teh t'is small claims court oveh ah honor duel, er perhaps jus' beatin' teh shoite out ov t'em? Nae tryin' teh bash yer suggestion, as et es nae bad, jus' thenkin'.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye dat is a valid point. But et is an alternative ter honour duels.” Lothgar Grandaxe: “Oim not sure dah dah courts should control grudges, nae matter how small. Dem could help mediate et but dem should nae settle them dem selves.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Well Lothgar, der 'igh Justiciar approves grudges fer demn tuu beh entered intuu der book o' grudges.” Lothgar Grandaxe: “Oi disagree wit dat, but oi will nae mak' ah fuss over et.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ahm jus' sayen dat's alreadeh 'appenen.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “O'I thenk et shoul' stay t'at way, barring creating a whole otheh office fer et. As grudges shoul' beh approved by teh mos' unbiased dwed in teh Kingdom.” Duren Ireheart: “Does deh Justiciar nae prosecute anythin' between petty an' high croime alreadeh?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Justiciar does nae prosecute, der essentialleh der chief judge, as far as oi know.” Ragrin Ireheart: “Aye think t'eh king should prosecute ane'h criminals.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Well in dis mattah et's delegated authoriteh oi believe? Der Grand Keng appoints der Lord Justiciar.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Allowin' teh King teh become judge, jury, an' executioneh? Hmph.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Well aye, dere in lies der issue. Also, at der moment it is der council o' der 'igh courts dat 'as ter approve der Grand Kengs nomination. But consideren der all doin **** all twiddlen deir thumbs et seems, s'ould der Senate approve dis. Der nomination fer Lord Justiciar oi mean.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Ah, take away Bakir's ability teh pick teh Lord Justiciar an' instead put his 'opes in teh Senate? O'I'm sure 'e'd love t'at.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ah did nae say dat.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “T'at es practically w'at et will become.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Bakir would still nominate a Lord Justiciar, but now der Senate 'as ter approve et nae der council o' der igh courts.” Lothgar Grandaxe: “Dat makes sense.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Yer nae seein' w'at o'I'm sayin'.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Sorreh wot are yer tryen ter say Ulfric?” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Roight now, teh get a Justiciar nominated, yeh 'ave teh speak teh dree dwed. Teh magistrates. Aye? Get t'eir approval an' w'at not.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye der articles state dey discuss et in council.” Ragrin Ireheart: “Te'h whole Justiciar job es useless everytime sumthin appen's between two dwed it gets settled by ah onou' duel?” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Aye, aye. But instead you're suggestin' takin' t'at away from dree unbiased dwed, an' puttin' et in teh 'ands ov ah Senate controlled by the many clans who fit teh bill teh add a senator.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye Ragrin because currentleh we 'ave no operatin' justice system - an' Ulfric would yer prefer unbiased Dwed er active Dwed?” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Unbiased. Often toimes t'ey're teh ones wit'out an agenda. Even so, t'at's not w'at o'I was gettin' at. O'I'll jus' drop et.” Lothgar Grandaxe: “How es Falk an unbiased dwed. Heh es ah Clan Fathah, roight? - Heh es teh beh biased tewards hes clan.” Duren Ireheart: “Ah fail tuh see teh issue bein' put forth 'ere, if yer woul' mind elaborating a bit mo'. Delegation wit' teh Justiciar seems irrelevant at dis' moment considerin' dere seems tuh beh nae crime rate in Urguan anehway.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye dat's anotha fing, s'ould der Lord Justiciar 'ave any position o' power within 'is own clan? Bakir stepped down as Clan Father w'en he became Grand King.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Yeh'd thenk, but some dwed run by ah code ov honor. Falk stands by teh law, an' will prosecute 'is own ef t'ey violate said law. O'I've seen et wit' mah own eyes.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ah'd like ter 'ear yer thoughts on der Lord Justiciar 'aven positions o' power in deir clan Ulfric.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Ef yeh wish teh bring t'at up, Aghal, t'en weh shoul' discuss t'at fer any council seat. Justiciar, Gran' Steward, an' so forth.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ah spose dat beh true, t'ough der law o' der realm is per'aps a special case.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Per'aps. But 'ow often es teh law brought teh attention in perspective teh say, taxes, deals?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Well, if royal officers are corrupt dey can beh tried. But dere in lies der paradox, w'o tries der Lord Justiciar?” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Teh Magistrates woul', which coul' beh an issue.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “But then ag'in, t'at issues coincides wit' maneh othehs. Ah issue ov 'what if', yeh know?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye oi spose so.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “W'at ef teh Justiciar, who picks his own magistrates, was corrupt? Teh entirety ov teh Courts woul' beh, an' so on. Et's ah matteh ov perspective, fer each lad who holds ah council position. Anehwho, o'I'm ramblin', apologies.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Nae yer expertise is needed on dis Ulfric, consideren yer were wunce Lord Justiciar. 'owevah, oi fink we've been 'ere long enuff lads.

Gormli Grandaxe: “oi propose tis es toh beh considered ah piece o' great urguani arht.” Norli Starbreaker: “Elder Clan Starbreaker once held da title o' Iron Baron when we co-owned da Ruined Runesmith o' Kal'Evraal with a few otha clans, and back den Dhaen was da manager, and a fine one. We certainly agree with da Iron Baron bein' made a position en da government, and hope ta see da tavern stay en da king's hands rather den a tradin' card fer wealthy, disinterested dwarves- loike us back den!” Sigrun Ireheart: “Oi donnaeh tink tereh es aneh debateh on et.

Look et oveh, an' point out aneh concerns er questions yeh may 'ave.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Twenteh stone minutes o' debate toime may begin.” Norli Starbreaker: “Dere are numerous thin's wrong with dis proposal, and Clan Starbreaker es opposed. Firstly, was da Admiral and or Grand Marshal Consulted?” Gormli Grandaxe: “Waht are tehy givin' teh kingdom en return fer tis? - Oi agree wit' teh prophet.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Donnaeh tink soh.” Norli Starbreaker: “Well, why would we just hand off control o' one o' da kingdom's core facilities ta a clan? And by Senate vote?! Do we nae have a King and Steward ta discuss dese thin's.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Sadleh, o'I am mereleh teh messenger. On account ov ef t'is was ran by teh Admiral er Marshal, o'I can'nae say.” Norli Starbreaker: “Nae just dat, but et legitimizes da baseless claim o' da Grimgolds ownin' any o' da port, dat clan only owns deir private ranch and da lighthouse, nae a thin' more.” Gormli Grandaxe: “OI AGREE!” Agnar Grandaxe: “D'e Grand King still owns d'e entire port even wit' d'e Frostbeard 'aving some control of it. Not only d'is, d'e bill states d'at 'Legionnaires will be given opportunities to learn naval warfare, through training and naval hunting expedition'.” Norli Starbreaker: “Da Legion already has dat oppurtunity, Agnar.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Oi donnaeh knohw aboot anyoneh 'ereh.” Norli Starbreaker: “Many clans have boats besides da Frostbeards- en fact I nae even think da Frostbeards have a boat- why would we give dem da power ta send out da other clans' ships.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Aye, but w'at I believe Frostbeard seeks to do is to ensure d'at 'appens as much o' d'at does not 'appen. Believe d'ey seek to do d'ings d'ere d'at will benefit all clans and d'e w'ole Kingdom.” Sigrun Ireheart: “But whoh es gonnaeh opposeh meh usin' taeh dwedsmark or aneh boat toh train moi lads.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alroite folks, let's nae flood Ulfric wid questions aye?" Norli Starbreaker: “P'raps so Agnar, but et es a poorly written law dat makes deir intent unclear, and da only thin' dat's clear es dem puttin' deir name on thin's with nae work nor tax ta deserve et. Da Kornazkarumm rullaz NAE.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Give 'im time ter respond tu ueach o' yer.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Aye, one at ah toime. O'I've nae been in ah debate since teh crown was on meh 'ead.” Norli Starbreaker: “I'd say da Frostbeards should just go speak ta da steward ta buy land ta make deir own extension o' da port, da main facilities should remain owned by da Grand Kingdom.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Yer majesteh!” Sigrun Ireheart: “Anehways.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “Well, ef o'I may ask. W'at exactleh 'as been done down by teh port since et pirate attack? Fill me in, o'I've nae exactleh been around.” Norli Starbreaker: “Da Workforce led by da Admiral led da reconstruction o' a ship, and cleared out much o' da debris. Da legion aided greatly en dis, as well da Mages Guild. Da Frostbeards have done nothin' naval related, I dunnae know why dey should get free land.” Gormli Grandaxe: “Just get toh teh vote, oi think everehone 'as made tahre moinds.” Norli Starbreaker: “Morul Irongrinder made da steam engine, and taught a lad how ta use et I think.” Aghal Frostbeard: “We've still ten stone minutes o' debate toime Gormli, et's up ter Ulfric w'en we vote.” Gormli Grandaxe: “Foine….” Norli Starbreaker: “Sorry 'bout dat lads, I do hope ye seek da steward and get yerself yer own smaller pier o' sometin'.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “O'I wish teh 'ear from teh Irehearts.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Believe d'e Frostbeard not 'aving ownership could suffice. D'ough I believe instead o' wording it d'at way ye' word it as d'e Frostbeards to overlook as d'e overseers o' d'at section of d'e port.” Ulfric Frostbeard: “W'at qualms do yeh 'ave ov teh proposal?” Agnar Grandaxe: “So d'ey are able to do w'at d'ey wis' w'ich to me seems to rebuild our port or w'at not.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Wot taeh Irehearts tink es tat et needs toh beh edited. First off. Wot 'appens ef weh donnaeh moveh et en ah stoneh week?” Ragrin Ireheart: “I agree wit Sigrun.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Alsoh, owning half of our ports es way tooh excessiveh.” Norli Starbreaker: “Deny da legislation, and communicate with otha's before proposin' a revised draft es wot I suggest!” Aghal Frostbeard: “Yer welcome ter deny et ehn a vote.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Wot taeh fook doh tey need half o' taeh ports for.” Norli Starbreaker: “Dat's wot I'm sayin' ain' I Aghal?

9th of Suns Smile, 77 S.A 22/05/22 The Khron’Rikkin Act Proposed by Clan Father Agnar Grandaxe and approved by the Grand Senate at the 77 S.A Sitting of the IV Session of the Grand Senate, this act stipulates an enhanced and expanded role of the Iron Baron, in relation to the Urguani Government. =================== Since its conception during the great earthquake of Kal’Varoth, the Iron Baron role has been a purely ceremonial role that essentially represented the leader of the greater taverns of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. However, after the recent success of the Grand Brewing Competition, I, Dhaen Grandaxe, current Iron Baron, propose the elevation of the Iron Baron role to this august body of the Grand Urguani Government. Through this ascension, the Iron Baron will now have the formal duties that they previously had the ability to carry out, but now the legal credit as should be ascribed to them. In this manner, I believe the smaller gatherings of the kingdom will have the needed assistance to flourish once more. The Iron Baron role will now have the following duties: Assistance to External Events The Iron Baron shall coordinate an event schedule in the kingdom at the start of every stone week. The schedule will be posted publicly for citizen consumption [OOC: discord community announcements]. Each event in the schedule shall have the following noted in its description: name, leader of event, location, and time. The Iron Baron shall provide any drinks, decor, or necessary help to any formal event within the Grand Kingdom of Urguan as is needed. Access to the resources required to aid such events will be handled personally by the Iron Baron, as granted by the Grand King of Urguan. Personal Preparation of Festivals The Iron Baron shall oversee the personal preparation of a feast, festival, or otherwise formal event at minimum every three stone weeks. Unless specified beforehand, this event shall be open to the public and hosted within either the throneroom or tavern. In Relation To The Government The Iron Baron shall be allowed to sit in upon meetings of the Grand Senate of Clans as a lesser member of the governing body. They will not have a vote, but be allowed to interject when deemed appropriate as a representative for the shared duties of running the tavern and preparing festivals. The Iron Baron shall no longer be recognized as an independent entity or guild leader. Tavern Upkeep and Regulation As a new legal entity, the primary care of the tavern within the kingdom capital shall now be considered as an extension to the duties of the Iron Baron. All matters regarding the tavern shall firstly be passed through the Iron Baron. It is also the duty of the Iron Baron to prioritize trade between the taverns of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan so as to promote local brewers. Upon the vacating of the Iron Baron role, the new Iron Baron shall be found in the process as dictated firstly through the predecessor. If the acceding Iron Baron has not been found in such a manner, than the duty of picking a new Iron Baron will fall to the discretion of either the Senate or the Grand King of Urguan. Should the current Iron Baron be neglecting their role, the matter shall be handled privately with intervention from the governing body of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan.

20th of First Seed, 77 S.A 21/05/22 IV Session of the Grand Senate With a roster drawn up on a bi-annual basis, the IV session of the Grand Senate shall commence this year, upon the 9th of Suns Smile in the 77 S.A. The list of members of the Grand Senate for this two-year period shall be. Grand Chancellor: Aghal Frostbeard Frostbeard: Ulfric Frostbeard Grandaxe: Agnar Grandaxe Lothgar Grandaxe Ireheart: Sigrun Ireheart Ragrin Ireheart Starbreaker: Jorvin Starbreaker
