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.

2nd of The Amber Cold, 76 S.A 16/05/22 Legion Budget Act Proposed by Grand Marshal Sigrun Ireheart and approved by the Grand Senate at the 76 S.A Sitting of the III Session of the Grand Senate, this act stipulates financial grants to Dungrimms Legion, provided by the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. =================== Article 1. The Legion shall be granted a sum of two-hundred fifty mina per stone-week by the Kingdom. Article 2. The Mina will be handled by the Grand Marshal and only the Grand Marshal. Article 3. The funding shall go only to paying the members of the Legion based off of the activity they show in a stone-week. Article 4. For additional funding the Grand Marshal may propose a renewed document. Article 5. For additional things such as paying for construction costs or extra supplies the Grand Marshal may request the Senate or Grand King to gain these funds. Article 6. Additional pay will be stockpiled by the Legion for future pay and additional projects should need be. The priority will always be the active legionnaires.

What 'es tha' point ov this?” Agnar Grandaxe: “D'ink d'ere is no debate on d'is. Per'aps it will even force our Grand Steward to do 'is job and start taxin'.” Norli Starbreaker: “Sigrun, a bit o'er a half-century ago, Dimlin Irongut proposed a law with similar namin' dat was quite awful, but et seems..” he glances at the proposition again, “Yers es quite different. But, I will ask dis- would ye prefer ta be paid per soldier dat es active, or a set amount ye get ev'ry week?” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Las' time tha' Legion was given control ov 'ets own fundings 'et jus' lead tae embezzlement.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Last toimeh oi was naeh leadin' et Jorvin. An' toh answer yer question. Norleh. Onleh taeh active Legionnaires will beh paid, naeh taeh lads tat sit on teir arseh.” Norli Starbreaker: “One thing I will correct ye on, Jorvin, es dat da Kingdom does nae currently pay da legion as far as I'm aware.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Oi'd rather pay foiveh active lads twenteh minaeh ten twenteh lazyh arseh lads foiveh minaeh.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “They dunnae need pay! Weh weren't paid durin' mah time as ah' grunt! We did ah're fuckin' duteh!” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ah Ello yer majesteh.” Norli Starbreaker: “Den wot es da point o' a seperate fund? I would personally say ye should just get da Grand Steward ta give ye some karzul, and ye only pay da folk who are active, but are nae allowed ta set et aside fer seperate purpose without Bakir's permission.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Whyh should taeh lads tat do taeh hard work fer taeh Workforceh get paid, but nay taeh lads tat foight en our Legiohn?” Bakir Ireheart: “Ello kin” Norli Starbreaker: “Aye, da legion ought be paid.” Balor Ireheart: “Lo bakir Aye it s'ould.” Norli Starbreaker: “Just should nae have a seperate fund.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “S'far as ah'm concerened 'ets expected ov them.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Wot doh yeh mean separate fund Norleh.” Lothgar Grandaxe: “Dah paeh should nae beh stockpiled, oi think dats wat heh means.” Norli Starbreaker: “Ye said en yer proposition here dat da legion ought stockpile money.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Ayeh, taeh ideah o' et es tat we naeh overspend money weh donnaeh haveh on separate shoiteh tat es naeh payin' our lads. Et's naeh ah separateh fund, jus' taeh leftovahs from taeh pay.” Bakir Ireheart: “Why teh fok are yeh discussin dah pay tuh dah legion when oi have nae even been notified yet.” Norli Starbreaker: “Et should just be wot I did with Officer Grudgebeard, I gave him an ammount o' Kazrul ta use only fer active pay, den he'd record how much he paid out a year. When he ran out, I'd just give him more. Good question, da Grand Marshal shoulda just gone straight t'ya.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Oi'veh talked aboot et wit' yeh previousleh Bakir, and oi'veh been told tat apparentleh oi 'aveh toh goh toh taeh senate fer et.” Norli Starbreaker: “Da Grand King has authority o'er da Royal Guilds, and es allowed ta manage da treasury. Nonedaless, I strongly suggest ye do wot I did with Grudgebeard, et worked well.” Sigrun Ireheart: “Weh will record taeh pay o'courseh, tat's naeh even ah questiohn.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye, der Grand Kingdom - o' w'ich der Grand Senate is der supreme authoriteh, owns der royal treasury; w'ich der Grand King manages.” Bakir Ireheart: “Sigrun yer foken lying tuh evereh foker ere, oi onleh met yeh ah couple years aguh and never spoke tuh yeh about pay.” Norli Starbreaker: “Can we vote ta dismiss dis motion fer da Grand King ta sort out?

Unless of course yeh want teh pay out of yer own pockets.” Norli Starbreaker: “I said related ta.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Norli if yer do naet 'ave anehfin else ter discuss, oi move ter adjourn proceedins.” Norli Starbreaker: “Da Grand Kingdom has failed ta collect taxes from da capital as well as our vassals. Dis has been pitted on a lack o' vassal reforms, but et es only da result o' ineptitude. Within a year o' operation da Workforce produced o'er a thousand minas.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Der floor is yers oi spose...” Lothgar Grandaxe: “Aye aye!

Dere es too much focus on da goal, da dream and less so workin' on makin' sure da current kingdom es functionin'. Dreams and goals are honroable, but we must make sure ta keep thin's goin' so we can actually achieve those goals. I ask da senate ta vote ta petition da Grand King ta get taxes rollin' by next year, or else our kingdom's financials will fall ta disrepair.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye? S'all weh move tuu a vote on dis senators?” Norli Starbreaker: “Ef he needs help, den da Senators should be requested ta propose solutions and provide aid en da efforts. Jorvin here can certainly draft up a better vassal reform, dat our vassals actually loike.” Bakir Ireheart: “Oi've given Hekkaes enough slack.

Der Legion seems in chaos at der moment, we still dunnae 'ave a new Grand Marshal since Kronk doied.” Axel Ireheart: “Expel Senators 'er remove tehre vote ef et continues.” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “Nah let it be as it is, dunnae want to see t'is become some fance' ass 'uman meetin w'ere t'ey 'ave push buttons to be able to speak.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Ah' 'gree wit' Axel for tha' mos' part, this 'es ah' circus, nae ah' government bodeh.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Well yer'd like ter speak and beh 'eard aye Thumbrindal?” Axel Ireheart: “I fear bureacracy, but I also think order es a call. Too often did Alaric Grimgold shout out needless and cause arguments. However, wastin' toime on bureacracy such as forcin' folks ta say 'aye' instead o' just lookin' with yer eyes as ta who es present es ridiculous.” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “Oi onle' suggest t'at all in 'ere should come unarmed, wit' nae clear intent to 'ave a will to slaug't'er t'e fockin council loike some folk did back in Axios….” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Ah'll be cold in tha' ground before yeh disarm me.” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “Saem, but for t'is instance oi will put me weapons away if it means oi am 'ere wit' kin alone.” Norli: “Frankly, I think disarmin' ev'ryone makes a slaughter more likely.” Danika Goldhand: “A dwarf could kill wit' his thumb alone if 'e so wished.” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “Armed or nae slaugt'ers will 'appen. Speakin out of experience.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Wh…Bit silly tae be disarming people then, innit?” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “Nae if t'e room 'as soldiers. Legionnaires a'e needed as Axel proposed.” Norli: “My apologies ta da Senate, but I must depart ta prepare fer an expedition enta da Voidal Hollow. Ef anyone plannin' on attendence es here, et es alright ta be a bit late I will nae be runnin' out.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Dammit ah'll ah' was gunnae tell yeh tae take oe'er while ah' stepped out.” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “W'at t'e previous council did nae 'ave was proper legionaires guardin t'e place, which resulted in its slaugt'er.” Norli: “May Ogradhad guide dis chamber with wisdom, and Yemekar bless ye dat ye forge a greater future.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Good luck Norleh. Jorvin per'aps wun o' yer kids could take ovah?” Jorvin Starbreaker: “They're beardlin's.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Per'aps dey moite 'ave some insoite regardless. Der Senate 'as nae rules against beardlens speaken.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Ah'll nae be subjectin' mah' children tae tha' politickin' ov Urguan b'fore their sixteh'th birthday.” Aghal Frostbeard: “As yer say.” Axel Ireheart: “By Belka, Jorvin, loighten up a bit. Ye make tae Ironborn soun' loike a fun bunch.” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “Sounds loike a starbreaker problem, ane'waes can we finish t'is topic, some fermented ale ain't gonna barrel t'emselves up.” Axel Ireheart: “Ah prefer wehn ye speak in dwarven, means ah cannae undahstand 'alf tae crap ye say” he would chuckle. Jorvin Starbreaker: “Methinks ah've lightened up s'much as ah'm gunnae.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Thumbrindal, yer mentioned stuff bout pushen buttons which again oi dunnae undastand but oi asked yer a question, wot 'appens if yer wish ter speak and beh 'eard?” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “Free speech, wit' nae t'at shush or shoite, givin rules to t'is is loike bendin to some umre' toipe of system which oi hoighle' dissaprove.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Free Speech, aye, but respect from yer end tuu. If somewun's speaken, s'ould we all nae let dem duu so? And loikewoise on yer end?” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Ah'll nae denigrate ah're ancestral tongue wit' this foolishness.” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “Nae, nae for me but all, cause oi could give two shoites about t'is council, oi 'ere to represent me clan no less no much, but it 'as to go smoot'e t'en it is now.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ah agree wid yer w'oile 'eartedleh.” Danika Goldhand: “I wish we were nay sitten' like two soides agains' eachothah..” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “Simple' said speak yer moind, listen to one anote' an' if ye 'ave a dispute, t'e foig'tin arena is down below.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ah quite agree. No wun else 'as anehfin ter add?” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “If its silent, means no one 'as somefiin to add.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Evidentleh, well, et appears der mood o' der Senate seems ter beh endin dis debate?” Danika Goldhand: “I realleh hate the seaten'….” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “Suggest replacin t'e seat wit' woolen couch pillows an' ye got me vote.” Axel Ireheart: “Ah've said w'ot ah need tae sae. Speak en turn n' wehn called upon, dunnae make et suh formal wehn et comes tae roll call n' such. N' alsuh expel anarchists n' remove tehre vote ef t'ey continue. 'Eck even suspend tae senate ef tae nae leave wehn asked. Alsuh git' tae legion 'ere, give tehm extra 'onour fer guardin' tae meetin's. T'at beh mah opinion on regulations.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oim worken on new seaten.” Jorvin Starbreaker: “Tagum Dwarfs 'ave nae place in ah' chamber ov governin', ah' concur wit' tha' Ire'eart.” Aghal Frostbeard: “But seriousleh, Dwed 'ave problems wid stone seaten?” Danika Goldhand: “I like soft things….” Thumbrindal Grandaxe: “aye cuz we nae sum plebs in a cave.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Nae we're liven in a mountain.” Danika Goldhand: “Mountains 'ave soft snow atop 'em. An' grasseh planes surround.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Regardless, oi 'ereboi call dis meetin tuu an end!” TRANSCRIPT ENDS

Okeh, so, firs' o' all todeh oi did plan ter discuss regulations an shoite. But Bakir 'as a proposal an' announcement fer yer ter 'ear, so we'll start off wid a roll-call.” Note: Roll Call Held, 5/8 Clan’s Present. Aghal Frostbeard: “Clan Storm'eart 'as naet nominated a senator. I'd jus' like ter say a few words in 'onour o' Kronk w'o we recentleh lost. A fiereh lad all can agree, Urguan 'as lost won of et's bes; Narvok oz Kronk.” Ulf Frostbeard: “Narvok oz Kronk.” Falk Irongut: “Narvak oz Kronk.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Narvak oz Kronk,” Ragrin Ireheart: “Narvok oz Kronk and t'eh lost irehearts tha't lost d'er lives that' day!” Bakir Ireheart: “Narvok oz Kronk. He es sureleh feastin wit dah afterlife.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Narvok oz Kronk.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Narvak oz Kronk.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi surrender der floor tuu Bakir, yer may speak.” He dipped his head to Bakir. Otherwoise, five clans present.” Bakir Ireheart: “Thes is a project oi have worked on fer sum stone-weeks now, discussin wit people and puttin down guidelines fer our lands. Fer maneh years people from all across dah land seek us out fer land suh dey may have ah place fer their own. And oi will argue tha past Kings a've nae done them well. So oi intend tuh do them roight. Livin en Urguan es nae free as weh have prime lands, better dan ANEH other en Almaris. Suh dere will beh three ranks, and multiple options fer people to obtain and grow either their town intuh ah citeh, or ah small keep intuh ah great fortress. Oi wish fer this tuh have tha blessin of dah senate, and perhaps even perfect it more bah hearin wot yeh have tuh say about et.” Falk Irongut: “Can I speak Aghal, 'r do ah need teh schoolteachah ta call meh name first?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Dat depends, are yer finished Bakir? Yer may speak. Oi decree thirteh stone minutes o' debate toime.” Falk Irongut: “Aye, well, t'is es ah good start, ah'd say, but et's p'raps nae perfect. Firstleh, yeh define duties ehn terms o' individuals bearin titles, such 's Jarl 'r Thane, ahn state what t'ey o'ersee. Ah'd suggest teh first change es t'at yeh reorganize ta define vassals ehn terms o' t'eir size, rat'er t'en teh title o' teh one leadin ehm. Ets ah slight change, but et'd beh more clear. Et alsu allows vassals, such as Sedan, w'o 'ave t'eir own titles ehn government ta keep t'em ehn use. Secondleh, ah see ah few terms t'at likeleh need more definin, such 's what et means ta rally for teh kingd'm” Bakir Ireheart: “Deir inner Kingdom titles es nae of mah concern. Es et realleh worth tuh change dah document over wantin tuh adhere tuh our vassals titles. Rallyin fer dah Kingdom es simple. When weh call upon them. They answer.” Agnar Grandaxe: “So.. D'ese titles are just an additional title to w'at our vassals already 'ave, aye?” Falk Irongut: “Aye well, t'at should beh defined ehn teh document etself. Aneh legal document es made by teh wordin o' ets statements ahn organizat'n” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Aye, jus' call teh tiers of vassalage farmstead, fief an' jarldom.” Falk Irongut: “Ah'd alsu define w'at exactleh constitutes ah vassal 'swell, su weh can 'void w'at 'appened wit' teh blackvale ehn teh future” Aghal Frostbeard: “Sorreh oi appear ter 'ave 'ad a sky-god dose me off, wot did oi miss.” Falk Irongut: “Basicalleh, ah'd just loike ta seem some more extensive definit'n o' terms ahn clearer wordin o' articles 'fore weh vote ohn teh mattah, ta summarize” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Et's nae 10 pages Bakir. Gotta bump t'ose numbehs up.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Speakin' o' extensive additions to d'is bill I see d'at d'is bill 'as nothin' stating to w'at 'appens if d'e vassals o' Urguan do not meet d'ese requirements, as in, w'at 'appens if d'ey don't host an event every stone week or doesn't pay d’e tax.” Falk Irongut: “Anot'er gud point, ah say. P'raps ah necessareh addit'n” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Aye aye! An does one week ov inactiviteh en a vassal immediateleh start teh process or does et 'ave ta be several weeks or or or or if t'eir es no war can t'ey still ralleh en some way to recieve t'eir tax break or or or if t'ey are not a foighten people can t'ey support teh legion en ot'eh ways or or or es t'eir exceptions fer folk who can't foight loike Paladorks.” Ulf Frostbeard: “Wot tae fook are y'all talkin' 'bout? Ef someone wants tu start citeh under Urguan t'ey sould beh able, 'nd 'round tae same rank as one o' tae Clanfat'rs oi t'ink. T'ey will 'ave tu pay taxes fur tae land t'ey rent, t'ey will 'ave tu step en 'nd 'elp ef we 'ave aneh wars, 'nd t'ey will 'ave tu swear loyalteh tu tae Grand King, 'nd tae Obsidian T'rone. Put one o' tae loyal members o' tae Council en one o' t'eir 'ig'est positions, 'nd ef t'ey dunnae pay we make et so t'ey dunnae get 'elp until t'ey pay up” He claps in his hands, clearly not completely thinking straight “W'at could beh 'ard 'bout t'at?” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Aye, jus' call teh tiers of vassalage farmstead, fief an' jarldom.” Falk Irongut: “Ah'd alsu define w'at exactleh constitutes ah vassal 'swell, su weh can 'void w'at 'appened wit' teh blackvale ehn teh future” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alroite folks, let's naet flood Bakir wid questions.” Bakir Ireheart: “Oi loike yer enthusiasm Ulf, but ets nae tha simple, and oi especially dunnae think weh want non dwed meddlin in our internal affairs. Such ah theng could beh easileh exploited.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Oh or ef t'ey can't pay fer a week do t'ey owe double or 'ow es t'at gonna work? Or ef t'ey contribute a certain amount of materials ta teh Grand Kingdom do t'ey get tax breaks, or w'at 'appens ef tehh vassals seem more populous t'an teh capital? An es t'eir aneh difference en Dwedmar vassals and yrromar vassals? Cause t'eir certainleh should be but 'ah don't see aneh ov t'at described 'ere en teh document.” Bakir Ireheart: “As teh tha rest of yer points. Oi will put down more specified ruling, such as repurcussions and punishments and otha ways fer pacifist groups tha weh may let in here and there.” Agnar Grandaxe: “D'en it seems d'at d'e bill is uncomplete if it doesn't 'ave it written down on d'e document yet.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “But w'at about Clan 'Alls outsoide ov teh citeh? Does clan land count as vassal land? Or w'at ov teh clan 'alls outsoide teh citeh loike Doomforges, Metalfist, an 'ammerforged.” Ulf Frostbeard; “sometimes anot'er insig't es gud, but onleh ef tae person es loyal tu yah countreh.” Bakir Ireheart: “Wot duh yeh mean Levian? Vassals dat have vassals undah them?” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “… W'at? 'Ah've said a lot. Ye question needs ta be more specific.” Balor Ireheart: “Vassals t'at 'ave ot'er vassales under t'e vassales.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Levian'Tol is probably referrin' to people like Sedan. D'ey 'ave vassals underneath d'em. Sedan is a Principality, d'ey 'ave Barons and some lower lords underneath d'em as vassals.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “…. W'en did 'ah say t'at?” Bakir Ireheart: “Then yeh must have memoreh loss. Dah point yeh said about Dwedmar and Yrromar vassals.” Agnar Grandaxe: “D'en I do not get w'at ye' are speakin' o' Levian'Tol.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Aye, ef some Dwed w'at t'eir own place. Does t'at count as a vassal loike Gorix. Gorix recieved special care undeh meh. But t'eir es not room fer wiggle room en tis document.” Bakir Ireheart: “Weh shouldn't make things harder teh manage by splitting things up more and moree.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “An ef ye wish ta get specific as Falky 'ere wants, t'en yer wiggly room eh even less. Vassals 'ave always fallen undeh teh Crown. Et should remain t'at way.” Bakir Ireheart: “Vassals are vassals, anyone whu es allowed land es ah vassal, suh Sedan, Dah Paladins, Dol'Gorix and all dah mannors. Especialleh dah people in dah fort.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Our kin, when put en a room. Are idiots.” Falk Irongut: “Ah raise teh quest'n w'y would private manors o' citizens beh considahed vassals 'n nae just beh treated as ah normal residence?” Balor Ireheart: “Does t'at inclued ye Levian.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “See. Course et does. Tis why 'ah was an autocrat.” Bakir Ireheart: “Manors classify as vassals becos dey have land outsoide dah citeh. Dere's tons of manors across dah land and ets easier to classify them as vassals fer management purposes.” Falk Irongut: “Fair enough. Anehw'o, ah t'ink teh quest'n weh should beh askin 'ere es does aneh'ne actualleh wishta vote ohn teh bill as es, 'r can weh say ets needs some work ahn move ohn?” Agnar Grandaxe: “So does d'e Irongut and Frostbeard 'olds classify as vassal lands to be taxed or no?” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “But w'at about t'ose t'at are owned by a singular person or clan fat'eh. Loike teh dirteh fuckin Goldie manors at teh docks. T'ose manors?” Aghal Frostbeard: “We've still got ten more stone minutes o' debate toime Falk.” Bakir Ireheart: “Dey will beh in dah same category.” Falk Irongut: “Suit yehself. Ahn alsu, teh Ironguts 'ave nae manor” Aghal Frostbeard: “Et's realleh up ter Bakir w'en voten starts.” Balor Ireheart: “T'at is nae a manor.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Manors Balek's.” Bakir Ireheart: “Dere's a clear problem when dah Grimgolds a've ah whole Grove an Clan hall withou bein taxed or managed bah dah Kingdom.” Falk Irongut: “Aye, fer 'is service ehn refurbishin teh kingd'm, ahn et was sworn ta beh tax free” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Aye, 'ah should've just tore t'em all down. Great flaw of ma reign.” Balor Ireheart: “Agreed.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Per'aps dah mistake lays wiff grantin' such rewards, rat'er t'an tearen em down..” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Aye, Norleh was a fuckin baffoon at teh end ov es Reign.” Bakir Ireheart: “Ets clear. Paste Kings made maneh mistakes with our vassals and dey clearleh could nae say dah famous word. No.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Ye shitter. 'Ah said no plenteh ov toimes. Teh **** es a 'Paste' King. 'Ah am not made out of glue.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi fink et's bes' we avoid issues o' past reigns. Er rather, be a bit more cordial about demn, oi spose?” Falk Irongut: “Yemekar's beard, do weh 'ave ta suffer Levian's whingin aneh longah, 'r can weh move ohn?” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Aye, lest Bakir ferget who took teh Kingdom ta wore over es shaven beard.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Enuff. Let us beh productive.” Ragrin Ireheart: “T'eh past reigns do not a've control ov'er te'h present t'eh future es what matte'rs te'h past es te'h past.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Ye realleh are beggin ta get yer arse kicked aren't ye?” (To Falk Irongut) Bakir Ireheart: “Oi dunnae have ah problem wit bringin up dah failures of past kings suh weh can duh better and learn.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Yet it seems some policy continues. Can we get back to d'e topic.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye, Agnar es roite.” Falk Irongut: “Rat'er get et kicked t'en groped, but wit' yeh eithers ah danger. Oh wait, fergot yeh onleh gu fer young elgi” Aghal Frostbeard: “Et appears we're petered off 'ere, Bakir would yer like ter proceed tuu a vote?” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Alright” Falk Irongut: “Ahn 'ere weh 'ave et, teh famed rhetoric o' Levian, lacks wit' su 'e triesta beat yeh inta submiss'n. Ahn weh wondah why teh women related ta 'im by blood feared 'im” Aghal Frostbeard: “Keep yerself in loine eh. Settle yer dispute aftah der meetin.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Aye, Levian'Tol, can we just get towards gettin' d'is meetin' over wit'?. If a scene 'appens d'e longer it will be.” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “T'eir are no Irongut women. Ye toss t'em enta teh garbage w'en t'eir born since ye can't abuse yer own famileh.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Levian please.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Fook me runnin', can yous two stop comparin' man-purses. Absolute wombles.” Balor Ireheart: “Te' fock is a womble. Te' **** is t'at.” Falk Irongut: “T'ink yeh confused Levian, lest yeh ferget t'at bot' Dhaen ahn Brynaelda were made 'Irongut Women' several toimes” Bakir Ireheart: “Lads stop comparin yer dongs. Weh all know Lulu has dah biggest un ere. Now shut teh fok up and return tuh yer seats.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye listen tuu yer Grand Keng fer focks sake, sit down Falk and stop throwen insults Levian's way, Levian sit down aye?” Agnar Grandaxe: “Aye, ye' two are actin' like idiots at d'e moment. Let us proceed wit' d'is Senate meetin' and finish it up. Ye' two can bicker about d'is shit later.” Falk Irongut: “Aye aye, ah 'ppologize fer causin disrupt'n.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Fank yer,” Levian'Tol Grandaxe: “Falk esn't a man, es a boy pretendin ta be more important t'en e es. Tell me boy, w'at es et ye've succeeded en? Ye 'ave failed as Lord Justicar, ye 'ave failed as 'Igh Prophet, ye 'ave failed as Clan Fat'eh. Aye an Dwalin couldn't seal teh deal bot' toimes… almost loike ye Irongut men continue ta fall short aye?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Seein' as der debate 'as derailed and we're naet realleh gettin' anehwhere, s'all we postpone dis fer another meetin'?” Falk Irongut: “'sfar as ahm concehned meh greatest failure was allowin ah blitherin idiot loike yehself ta take teh t'rone.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Aye. Just postpone it and table d'e bill for now.” Bakir Ireheart: “Oi wos nae even intendin on votin fer et roight now. But nevertheless oi got wot oi came fer.” Falk Irongut: “Now yeh done, 'r yeh wannta continue tradin insult fer insult?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alroite, motion tabled fer another meetin, meetin adjourned focks sake.” Note: Motion tabled for another meeting.

Morul Irongrinder, Clan Irongrinder Passed unanimously. Aghal Frostbeard: “Now, Grimdal Irongut's proposal.You may speak, Grimdal.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Aight, Oi worked uut dah beginning 'o ah proposal t'at's meant tuh outline dah concept 'o dah Navy and dah Admiralteh. As 'o yet et's all been ah rat'er vague legal domain 'n oi 'ope tah give et some legislative shape. Yeh can ask questions ef yeh got t'em. Et's alsuh open fer additional proposals en dah future.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oh an' twenteh stone minutes o' debate may commence.” Balor Ireheart: “W'y isn't t'e navy under t'e legion. Te' legion is te' millitary of urguan. And te' navy is part of te' millitary.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Navy has nevah been undah dah legion. Till nuw ets been ah semi-private endeavour ran boi dah Admiral, ahn empty position with nay outline yet dah official command over ships et seems. Now et's bein' outlined.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah will say, ah do believe Dwedsmarines, should technically be Legionnaires, and de Lord Grand Admiral should essentially be an aquatic version o'de Lord Grand Marshal.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Seems logical tuh me.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Suh yeh mean tah educate all future generations 'o Legionnaires en Naval combat? Can be discussed wiff dah Grand Marshal.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Is Atandt still d'e Grand Admiral or is d'at position vacant?” Alaric Grimgold: “Grimdal is the Lord Grand Admiral. De one makin' de Proposal.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Correct.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ah fink Atandt resoined?” Alaric Grimgold: “Atandt resoigned from his Clan ah heard, and woz hangin' wit' Torsun in Archisdorf.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Hm, well I 'ave no problem wit' us 'aving a navy branch o' our military. D'e only issue I 'ave is d'e lack of use wit' our navy.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Wha', with them pirates abou'?” Alaric Grimgold: “My issue is dah our soldiers are drawn from a very small pool, and considerin' Legionnaires and Dwedsmarines as two different militaries moight make our military weaker. Ah believe we should train Legionnaires on naval combat to serve as both.” Balor Ireheart: “Agreed.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Dah use 'o our Navy es indeed limited tuh certain political scenarios. Yet oi see t'at nay as ah reason tah remain unprepared. Cuz t'ats wot weh were: Nay prepared at all. Nay tah face dah foe, nor tah rebuild.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi recognise der arrival o' der Senator frum Clan Gold'and.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Oi can see all Legionnaires trained in Naval combat, yet oi see merit in special educations for Navy.” Danika Goldhand: “Sorry I'm late!” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Like uh academy?” Gwydion Ireheart (Spectator): “Ef someone plans on makin' use o' t'e navy, an' leadin' expeditions an' t'e like, makin' t'e navy an organized branch o' t'e military with regular trainin' sessions would be good. But onleh if someone's gone make sure of et.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Nay all Legionnaires 'ave toime tah train fer both Legion 'n Navy, in diving, cannoneering, sailing, and suh forth. Exactleh. Oi go' Blueprints en dah work fer an outpost put tuh such use. Tah educate on Naval Engineering and such, as well as combat.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah hab' long recommended an Urguani Academy. T'teach both civilian arts, 'swell as military strategy and engineerin'.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “T'at wud beh dah job 'o dah Admiral.” Balor Ireheart: “T'at is a good idea.” Kronk Stormheart: “Navyh es still ah military theng.” Balor Ireheart: “'Ow bout we put te' navy under t'e legion and legionaries train in both water and land training.” Kronk Stormheart: “Should beh ah specialoized branch en taeh Legiohn, en moi opinion.” Balor Ireheart: “And te' admiral position is like te' position of commander.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah believe dey should still have der own commander. Where de Marshal will lead field battles, and de admiral naval and landing battles.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “How maneh Legionnaires gunny choose t'specialise inty uh Dwedmarine thoug Migh' take some incentives.” Balor Ireheart: “We can't take legionaries.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Oi dun't count on ah grand amount. Oi count on ah dedicated yet smoll gruup.” Alaric Grimgold: “Larger, nicer quarters at de port? Maybe some extra pay?” Agnar Grandaxe: “Aye, s'ould just 'ave a branch under d'e Legion. Allowin' Legionnaires to be part o' bot' bodies of d'e military.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Oi dun' loike the idea o' da Marshal 'n Admiral bein' on equal footin', seems loike et will create friction en some situations where dey dun' agree. Which woul' result en total failure o' ou'a forces.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Lemme sketch dah situation, both proposal and out of proposal.” Balor Ireheart: “Agreed.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Aye, ah also 'gree with Thulmyr.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Oi've go' unrelated permission tah construct ah Naval outpost down dah coast. Said coast will be used tah construct ships, dock t'em 'n practice dah applicable arts 'o Engeneering.” Alaric Grimgold: “Et should be connect via ferry to de Capital Port. Ah do have a proposal t'present after ye', but a large part of it is de fact dat all our scattered settlements have no easy way t'get there.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “T'at being said, moi appointment can beh easily combined wiff such. Such education 'n construction of ships. So even ef Dwedsmarine are under dah Legion, dah construction can't be counted under dah Legion.” Kronk Stormheart: “Oi donnaeh careh whoh makes taeh ships. As long as oi get taeh ships.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Oi loike yer plan Grîmdal, bu' et es a matta' o' efficiency. Oi loike the proposal o' da Admiral bein' a commander en da legion, en charge o' their own branch.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Thulmyr, d'at is w'ere ye' specifiy in d'e documents o' legislation o' direct specifics in w'at d'e Grand Admiral 'as more sway over against d'e Grand Mars'al. W'ich is d'at d'e Grand Admiral only 'as command and say within d'ings dealin' wit' navy.” Alaric Grimgold: “So wot is de decision o'de debate? Dat de proposal needs more ammendments before we should vote?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Et appears we are at an empasse? Would yer like ter proceed tu a vote Grimdal, or s'all we postpone der proposal?” Balor Ireheart: “We vote.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “'Fore we move on Grimdal- ah'd like t'see uh increase in teh budget fer teh Legion, if we're gunny have teh Dwedsmarine as uh branch undy teh Legion.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah agree.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Othywise yea couldy ask fer uh separate budget.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Fair.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Et's probleh best dat is 'andled in another meetin Lulubelle, as dat's et' own matter entireleh. In anotha proposal.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Aye 'course.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Grimdal, oi believe we s'all move ontu a vote?” Alaric Grimgold: “Why vote? 'E said 'e was goin' to rework de proposal.” Grîmdal Irøngut: “Vote on wot? Dah proposal ain't passin' unadapted.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Okeh, der proposal shall beh postponed fer another toime. Alaric Grimgold, yer proposal.” Note: Motion Delayed. Alaric Grimgold: “Friends, Dwarves, countrymen. Fo' too long have mah dreams been plagued bah a great image o'our country in distress. Our shared dangers ended in a victory fo' us, but we were allowed to fall to such a point by de failing and crumblin' o'our own infrastructure due to de mismanagement o'de realm. As such, ah believe et is toime dat we begin to revitalize de Grand Kingdom. Whoile de elites benefitted from old proposals, ah believe et is toime dat de Senate serve de commonfolk and travellers o'our land. Our roads, fo' example. Most o'dem will lead y'to some abandoned settlement o'old homestead, and many wanderers get lost on de way to our great capital. In no Great Kingdom should such be de case! We must emphasize de construction capabilities o'de Dwedmar!” Aghal Frostbeard: “Are yer finished Alaric?” Alaric Grimgold: “Aye, aye, let dem debate de merits o'de proposal, but ah believe de merits speak fo'demselves.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Twenteh stone minutes o' debate can begin.” Balor Ireheart: “'Ow ye going to pay for t'is.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Och Gods, why'sit centre-aligned? Please make teh documen' align t'teh left.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah have more building resources den sin. Ahn have handled most o'dese construction projects bah mahself.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Oi agree with Lulubelle.” Alaric Grimgold: “Additionally ah ahm not ah Gold Clan without reason.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Soh Alaric, yer nae goin' tuh use Urguan's moneh for dis project?” Kronk Stormheart: “Oi'm foineh wit taeh project, but ef oi cannaeh get money from taeh kingdom toh pay moi legionnaires but yeeh get money fer yer roads oi'm gonnaeh beh pissed off.” Alaric Grimgold: “Et depends. Do y'truthfully see nae reason dah Urguan should revitalize our infrastructure? Are y'admittin' ye wish nae part in de reconstruction o'our great Kingdom?” Danika Goldhand: “The Gold'ands will support our brother wit' our own resources ef needed.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Do not 'ave any issues wit' d'is bill, d'ough I do find interest in 'ow ye' will pay for d'e materials needed for suc' a large project. Not only d'is, believe d'at we it s'ould be more just a public farm rat'er d'an just private.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Anwer da damn question straight, Alaric. Do yer intend tuh 'ave the Gran' Kingdom fund dis endeavor?” Alaric Grimgold: “Der should be many farms. Public and proivate. Wit' ahleast eighteh percent bein' public. Wot would ye need to fund? Ah already told ye ah have all de buildin' materials?” Balor Ireheart: “Will it be funded by te' kingdom aye or nae.” Kronk Stormheart: “Ten nay. Roight 'aveh fun wit yer littleh project.” Thulmyr Frostbeard: “Tha's da answer oi was lookin' for, if yer got all tha' es needed yerself, oi see nae reason tuh object.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “Ah recognise teh 'mportance o'thissy public works, but who'll be doin' teh work?” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah apparently will be doin' a lot o'de work, though ah most likely can enlist de aide o'de Lord Architect, though in truth, de project is open to aneh who wish to aide. And ah extend a gracious offer to aneh who wish to work fo'de betterment o'our Grand Kingdom. T'fight when asked is but one aspect o'de loyalty a Dwed must possess, but der is required necessary maintenance upon our homeland.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi imagine workers will beh volunteers, Alaric?” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah can pay dem. But et seems odd that ah be de onleh clan willin' to pay fo' de required work done fo' de upkeep of our homeland. Be it wit' Karzul o'with mah sweat.” Balor Ireheart: “Its nae ood. Ye broug't te' idea forward.” Kronk Stormheart: “Ef et's ah proivateh endeavour o' yers oi'veh naeh issueh.” Alaric Grimgold: “D'ye nae also use de roads? Do y'nae also live in dis kingdom?” Kronk Stormheart: “Jus' donnaeh want money goin' toh et ef oi cannaeh get two 'undred minaeh ah week toh pay moi legion lads.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Well, Kronk oi spose yer could ask Legionnaires if dey want ter 'elp, a lot o' Dwed 'elped construct our fort if yer recall.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ye should be able t'get such. Ah hab' nebah blocked such a proposal and infact have always been pro-increasin' legion pay.” Kronk Stormheart: “Oi knohw Alaric, oi will put up ah missiveh aboot et.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah dinnae see how de Kingdom not providin' ye wit' money we certainly have has anehthing t'do wit' de necessary upkeep required to keep de Kingdom not lookin' loike crap.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Dat would 'ave ter beh bought up tuu der Grand Keng.” He told Alaric. Alaric Grimgold: “Why de Grand King not payin' de Legionnaires?” Agnar Grandaxe: “Probably so we can rebuild our treasury as we were recently in a war, a war to w'ich we 'ad to use a lot of our mina.” Alaric Grimgold: “Our Legionnaires should still come first. Dey fought said war.” Balor Ireheart: “Aye.” Kronk Stormheart: “Per'aps Hekkaes will start makin' taeh kingdom someh moneh again.” Agnar Grandaxe: “Or.. Per'aps 'e s'ould be askin' d'ese questions to d'e Grand King 'imself not d'e Senate.” Alaric Grimgold: “We hab' money, o'atleast, we had money. Ah knae de last King spent de treasury on way t'maneh buildin' projects fo'other settlements, but we should still have reserves.” Alaric Grimgold: “We had some thirteen o'so thousand minae last ah had heard.” Balor Ireheart: “De' last king spent most reserve mina.” Alaric Grimgold: “Et seems we have more work den expected in convertin' de Kingdom back to et's peace time duties.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Debate time beh up, Alaric s'all weh move onto a vote?” Post-War Restoration Act Proposed by Senator Alaric Grimgold AYE Sen.

Firs' we s'all begin wid a roll-call o' present votahs, let's make dis quick an' snappeh folks. Oh, and say aye if present.” Roll Call Proposed by Grand Chancellor Aghal Frostbeard AYE Sen.

Den our session may begin, proposals on der table beh a rules an' regulations proposal oi wish ter propose, an' a proposal boi Clan Ire'eart; regarden ter status o' Tahorren Divadri alt'ough neither Gorlim nor Tahorren are here; per the precedent o' last meetin' oi spose we s'all reserve dat fer a latah date.” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “Oi.” Aghal Frostbeard: “It appears der Doomforged representative 'as left oos.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi spose oi'll give 'im two stone minutes tuu return...” Falk Irongut: “Just keep movin, ef 'e returns weh can fill 'im in, aye?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ye've returned, okeh in a second weh can continue. As oi wos sayen, der topic on der agenda beh a rules an' regulations proposal. Oi s'all provide each o' yer wid der proposal.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Dis proposal beh ter establish 'ow der Senate will proceed in practice, ter ensure a calm enviroment fer political debate. Oi s'all give yer all five stone minutes ter read eht.” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “Erhm? Question fer ya Lord Chancellor, Fros'beard? When would be a good toime fer ye to recieve ah proposal?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi s'all answer questions in a few stone minutes Rhaezaiil Doomforged. Fer now oi wish ter provide everywun a fair chance ter luuk ovah meh proposal.” Falk Irongut: “Ah've several quest'ns 'swell. Seems t'at much o' t'is document es nae clarified” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah have a clarification request t'be made abou' de first article.” Halvard Frostbeard: “Oi didnae t'ink oi needed tae read….” Kronk Stormheart: “Yer document sucks arseh, basicalleh.” Alaric Grimgold: “'Clans which can prove they are active in Urguan Society may have a guaranteed representative.' Dah seems a bit vague donnit?” Axel Ireheart: “Et took meh loike twu minutes tae read et, n' ahm n' Ire'eart. Relax evereh'bodeh, read et n' give over.” Dhaen Grandaxe: “Bare bones, but at least d'ere's bones” Falk Irongut: “Aye, ahm o' ah mind wit' Alaric. Which es sayin somet'in, behn some time since weh 'greed ohn aneht'in” Aghal Frostbeard: “Again, dis es naet yet der toime fer questions.” Kronk Stormheart: “Tat's whot yer confused aboot?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi s'all answer everywun o' yers, w'en der toime comes. Oi ask yer 'old dem fer now!” Kronk Stormheart: “Oi voteh Aghal gets himself ah bettah chair. Tat teng fookin' sucks.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Vetoed.” Falk Irongut: “Ah vote weh get better chairs, ahm tae old ta beh sittin ohn bare stone” Aghal Frostbeard: “Der c'air is vereh noice.” Kronk Stormheart: “Tes wholeh teng jus' seems toh meh Aghal wants toh seem important.” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “May I bring da proposal o' da Dorkadrel before da Senate?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alroite, time fer debate, fer which oi s'all allot twenteh stone minutes. Oi fink et's bes' oi answer questions wun boi wun, goin in Clan Alphabetical ordah. T'ose wid questions, make et known boi standen. Rhaezaiil Doomforged, nae is naet der toime fer other proposals, but if we 'ave toime yer may do so aftah. Aneh wid questions, please stand, otherwoise we s'all proceed.” Alaric Grimgold: “Okay… So y'gonna answer wot y'mean by dis first part 'ere?” Aghal Frostbeard: “If yer 'ave a question, please stand.” Mica Goldhand: “Falk es standin.” Falk Irongut: “Ahm alreadeh standin yeh focker, get ta lettin meh ask teh quest'ns, aye?” Aghal Frostbeard: “We s'all begin wid Alaric Grimgold, yer question. Debate s'all commence!” Alaric Grimgold: “Wot do dis first paht mean? Wot is de basis and measure by which we judge 'active in Urguan society'? Personalleh, ah believe we should lower de 'foive Dwarf' policy, as der have been maneh toimes where most o'our Senate could hardly accumulate does numbers. But ah agree der must be some basis o'active in de society as a whole.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Lord Grimgold, dis is alreadeh in der Articles o' Urguan, frankleh et's jus' copyen wot wos in dere an' moved tuu der bill. I ask dat all yer rest keep yer questions relevant tuu der new stuff, w'ich fer clariteh is in der Regulations section. But realleh et's people w'o are known ter beh around der citeh, around in general fer a sufficient amount o' toime, say five stone hours in a stone week. Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi probleh s'ould 'ave made dat clearer befure, regarden der rules section.” Falk Irongut: “W'o determines w'o es ahn es nae active?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Falk Irongut, yer will wait until yer are addressed.” Kronk Stormheart: “Aghal get yer arseh off yer high horseh and answer 'is question.” Aghal Frostbeard: “In due toime.” Alaric Grimgold: “Okay, who determines who is active and when do de second and third senator apply?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Der Grand Chancellor.” Falk Irongut: “Why should I? Ef t'is es s'posed ta beh ah room ta address public concern ahn 'ave conversta'n about policeh, why should I nae speak up when ah've relevant statement ta make?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Because otherwise we 'ave anarcheh oi s'all answer yer concerns in toime but oi wish ter address Alaric Grimgold's first unless 'e yields der floor.” Dhaen Grandaxe: “Nae, 'tis a guud idea tu 'ave mo' open debate. Anarchy will not com' fro' simpleh 'avin an open floor debate” Aghal Frostbeard: “Alaric Grimgold, duu yer 'ave anehfin else ter add?” Falk Irongut: “Aye, ahn yeh cannae debate openleh ef evereh'ne 'asta sit ahn wait fer yeh ta call t'eir name loiek weh're childrehn ehn ahn umreh schoolhouse.” Kronk Stormheart: “Aghal yer actin' loikeh ah roight *****, get yer arseh off yer high horseh.” Alaric Grimgold: “Ah believe dis missive has lots o'corrections t'make before et is ready fo' approval. Ah believe et would be a good oideah to consult wit' Lord Irongut and myself privately ah some point fo' political advise on some o'dese points, but ah yield de floor.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Yer may speak, Falk Irongut.” Falk Irongut: “T'ank yeh kindleh yer magesteh. Now, meh first concern es along teh same loikes 's Alaric, w'at explicit definit'n 'ave yeh givehn fer w'at constitues ahn active clan ehn Urguan? Teh term active es used bot' 'ere ahn in teh official article addressin teh senate, but ets nae exactleh clear w'at ets defined 's” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi am sorreh Falk, but oi fink et's best weh discuss dis at length another toime, as oi've said befure dis is naet realleh relevant tuu der bill as all o' der rules section is in der articles. Per'aps instead oi s'ould propose a new bill constiuting onleh der regulations section.” Falk Irongut: “Are weh not 'ere ta discuss t'is paper yeh just passed out ta us?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Oi wos goin ter 'ang dis up, aye, but der regulations section is der new stuff, der rules stuff is alreadeh in der articles. Debaten et is pointless as et 'as alreadeh been debated on an agreed on, at der final Grand Council meetin. Voted fer, boi yer Clan nae less.” Dhaen Grandaxe: “Den should yeh not quote it directleh? Why the summary?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Der Articles part es quoted directleh, 'owevah oi 'ave an amended bill fer yer inspection.” Falk Irongut: “Shite, didnae realize weh were su daft ta pass such poorleh written legislat'n, I'll 'aveta give Grimdal ah proper less'n. Vereh well, I take several issues wit' yeh Regulations sect'n 'swell. Ah could list evereh specific issue, but ah t'ink all o' t'em could beh summed up ehn ah single statement: T'is addit'n seems ta meh ta beh not'in more t'en useless, human-like bureaucraceh t'at serves not'in more t'en ta impead teh progress'n o' teh court and supress teh abiliteh o' teh senators ta fulfill t'eir dutehs.” Aghal Frostbeard: “In wot ways duu yer fink et impedes progress, examples please. Yer may wish ter sum et up in a vague statement, but oi wish fer specifics 'ere Falk.” Falk Irongut: “Fer instance. T'is requirement t'at senators must arrive at ah certain time t'a t'ese meetins 'r else t'eir voice'll nae beh 'eard es outrageous” Aghal Frostbeard: “I disagree, I fink Senator's w'o arrive promptleh obviousleh care about representen dere clans, dan t'ose dat arrive lateleh. Additionalleh, oi am lenient on t'ose w'o give notice o' absence. Such as half a stone hour, er a stone hour late.” Falk Irongut: “Darek tried ta implement somet'in similar 'fore ahn et was just 's outrageous t'en, teh right ta beh represented should nae come wit' ah fuckin time limit, sometimes dwed run inta issues, 'r more important mattahs come up ahn t'ey're late, yet yeh would gu su far 's ta remove t'eir natural right ta 'ave t'eir voice 'eard for t'is?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye, dey are welcome ter inform meh. Dey are welcome ter send replacements, er if absoltueleh necessareh may approach meh an explain, oi understand w'en it is impossible ter show on time wit'out course to rectifoi dis.” Falk Irongut: “Shouldn't be lenient 't all. All teh clans wit' seats should beh 'llowed ta speak when t'eir representative es present, nae mattah ef t'ey're late 'r nae. Ets ah right t'at yeh seek ta infringe upon wit' t'is absurd time limit.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Ter beh 'onest Falk, oi don' imagine dat meetin's will last longah dan a stone 'our.” Falk Irongut: “Sometimes t'ey will, when important mattahs 're at 'and, but t'ats nae teh point. Shouldn't mattah 'ow long meetins run.” Aghal Frostbeard: “Again, oi will allow notice o' a stone 'our, but frankleh showen up latah dan dat is unacceptable. Falk oi fink Axel wont's ter say somefin. If yer dunnae moind surrenderen der floor...?” Falk Irongut: “Damn foolish t'ing ta say, t'inkin the rights o' teh clans should beh fit ta ah schedule. Ef axel wishes ta speak, let 'im speak, t'is bullshite 'bout callin names ahn ceedin teh floor es anot'er issue I take.” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “The Doomforged stand with the honorable Clan Irongut on this matter. Would not 'urt to see more time an' t'ought put into our laws and official documents.” Falk Irongut: “better formatt'n too, but t'ats anot'er mattah” Mica Goldhand: “Agreed. Time fames are onleh going ta cause issues, ye sometimes never ken what will happen and emerancehs crop up.” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “I would offer my own services if such are needed.” Falk Irongut: “Anehw'o, lets 'ear from axel, aye?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye.” Axel Ireheart: “Firstleh ah would loike tae say, as Aghal alreadeh explained, barrin' tae regulations ov' w'ot occurs at a senate meetin'. Tae Senate itself 'as alreadeh been passed, as a replacement fer tae Clan Council. Suh complainin' abou' et now beh pointless, wehn a vast majoriteh ov' clans voted et entu tae Articles ov' Urguan. Secondleh, tae rebuke Alaric's earlier statement, ef a clan cannae even muster up foive dwed, tehn t'ey shouldnae beh given a seat, considerin' tae Articles state ye need 5 dwed tae form a clan. Over are teh days ov' clans musterin' up foive people, gettin' a council seat tehn disappearin' from Urguan whoilse a sole member ov' tae clan remains tae use ets power tae further tehre own agenda's. Thirdleh, ef yer bloodeh late, ye can send a representative, 'er 'ave tae ******* RESPECT fer our governmental institutions tae given notice ov' yer absence. Ef ye wish fer a seat in Urguan's government, ye show our beautiful Gran' Kingdom tae ******* RESPECT et deserves by showin' up tae represent yer clan, n' our people. Tae provision es set tehre suh t'at clans, such as tae Doomforged, w'o showed up at tae end ov' tae last bloodeh meetin' jus' tae cast a vote, wit'out offerin' aneh debate 'er opinion, tae nae longah beh able tae do t'at.” Falk Irongut: “Es t'at nae t'eir right wit' ah seat ohn teh senate? Ta cast votes fer t'eir clan as t'ey see fit? Why should t'eir right beh outright revoked because t'ey were late?” Axel Ireheart: “Ef a topic es deemed important enough, tae Gran' Chancellor will dedicate moar' toime to et, such as en tae last meetin' wehn 'e did suh. Ets nae a bloodeh issue. Tae point of et es tae ensure weh nae sittin' 'ere fer 'ours debatin' n' arguin' amongst ourselves, n' such t'at weh actualleh git' shit done. ” Aghal Frostbeard: “Dat is der t'ought be'ind meh regulations, aye.” Axel Ireheart: “Because yer vote es worthless, ef ye show up late. Ef ye nae participate en conversation, 'er even feckin' listen to yer fellow councilmembers n' dwed, w'y should ye 'ave tae roight tae show up n' cast a vote, w'ich benefits yer own vested interests, n' nae t'at ov' Urguan's interests.” Falk Irongut: “Weh can start ah meetin whenevah ets scheduled ahn let teh senators show up 's t'ey're able without/ punishin them for tardiness by Revoking their rights to represent their clan! Ef keepin ohn schedule es su important ta yeh surely/ some ot'er measure can beh found t'at doesnae bar aneh senator from teh rights granted ta ehm. Ets ah poor idea all around, I say, 'avin ah time limit, but t'ats nae meh onleh issue wit' t'ese regulat'ns. Fer instance, let us examine teh difference 'tween moderated ahn unmoderated debate? W'at purpose does t'at serve ot'er t'en ta add complicat'ns ta teh way teh senate runs.” Axel Ireheart: “Ef yer goin' tae beh late, send a bird to tae Gran' Chancellor, explain yer absence. N' ef ye can, send anotha' clan membah en yer place. But ef ye show up late, n' a nae mean foive minutes, ah mean towards tae end ov' tae bloodeh meetin', simpleh tae cast a vote, showin' up un-announced n' wifout anehting constructive tae add. Tehn personalleh, ah dunnae believe ye deserve a vote, 'er tae represent yer clan n' people. Cos et shows ye nae give a single ****.” Dhaen Grandaxe: “Ah' can du mebe 30 mo' stone minutes ov' dis den' ah've gotta go” Falk Irongut: “Yeh personal feelins 'bout folks attitude ta folks bein late shouldnae determine whether 'r nae t'ey're allowed ta exercise t'ose rights afforded t'em ehn our own government. T'ats frankleh ahn exceptionalleh authoritarian approach ta governance t'at puts true fear inta meh 'earts when considahrin teh future o' Urguan. But ah believe weh've bot' made our points ohn teh mattah, aneht'in yeh wish ta say Axel 'fore ah move ohnta meh next object'n in ta t'ese regulat'ns?” Axel Ireheart: “Nae ahm good, unless ye bring up anotha' objection t'at a disagree wiv'.” Falk Irongut: “Aye t'en let meh move ohn. As ah ment'ned previousleh, ah alsu take issue wit' teh distinguishment 'tween moderated ahn unmoderated debates. Frankleh ah see teh moderated debates as ahn avenue fer not'in but added frustrat'n fer senators.” he holds up a single hand “Now, Im nae saying 'aving some sort o' structure ta our discuss'ns es ah bad idea, but 'avin ta gu 'round ehn alphabetical ordeh, bein able ta speak ohnleh when called upon, es needlessleh complex ahn will not serve ta support teh flow o' debate. Aghal Frostbeard: “Hrmm… Okeh, given dat weh seem ter beh at ahn impasse and we've been 'ere long enough. Oi suggest weh postpone dis debate until der nex' meetin, in der mean toime oi s'all 'ope ter rectifoi concerns in anehways oi can an' improve der proposal.” Falk Irongut: Ah, roight t'en ef weh're nae votin ohn t'is vers'n, t'en I'll save teh rest o' meh complaints” Aghal Frostbeard: “Aye, oi s'all now formalleh end dis meetin'. Oi 'ope ter 'ave a proposal readeh nex' toime, dat s'all 'opefulleh beh satisfactoreh ter all partehs.” Lulubelle Starbreaker: “'Are we done?” Dhaen Grandaxe: “Nex' toime can weh talk o' changin' the chairs in 'ere tuu? Shoite makes meh feel loike ah'm a' beardling 'gain” Rhaezaiil Doomforged: “Quite the firs' Senate gatherin' ay?” Aghal Frostbeard: “Dismissed!” End of Transcript
