================================================================================ Clan Runehammer "By Hammer and Rune, we forge wisdom in stone and steel." ================================================================================ ================================================================================ Lore The Runehammer clan was formed by Grimmnir Runehammer upon him reaching adulthood, and mastering the art of smithing. At the age of twenty-three Grimmnir was named the Grand Master of the Oldfire Forge, a royal guild within Urguan. Appearance Being descendants of mountain dwarves, they are somewhat short compared to other mountain dwarf clans with their height ranging from 3 '5 to only 4’ tall. While being on the short side Runehammer's also boasts a hefty body, with muscles hidden by their inherent fat. The clan also boasts deep red hair that is known for its thickness, and length. The face of a Runehammer is rather pudgy boasting a large nose, and green-hued eyes. Armor, and Weapons The Runehammer clan finds itself wearing thick plated black-ferrum, with aurum trimmings. While it revokes some movement it makes up for its durability, and defensive capabilities. The clan trains its members in a few different types of weapon, the most notable being hammers, maces, and flails taking an obvious liking to weapons that can easily dent and shatter plate armor. They are also all trained to wield a shield to increase their ability to defend. In combat a Runehammer would often find themselves focusing on defense, and waiting for the enemy to make the first move. They are very reactive fighters and prefer to attempt to parry blows, and block them. Trials The Runehammer clan is strange in the aspect that they are a blooded can, but it is possible to take on a bastard name, and you would still be considered part of the clan with the disadvantage of not being able to run for the position of Grand Rune Forger. The bastard name is Forgefire. The clan is known for few things, but those things they are working towards becoming the masters of with them being metalworking, alchemy, and golemancy. The Craft Masters Rite The first, and most important of the trials is for the newly blooded Emberling to prove themselves a worthy smith, and to craft their smithing hammer. This hammer is seen as a sign of respect, and honor among the Runehammers and thus they are not truly part of the clan till this is complete. This must be done in front of the Grand Rune Forger to ensure that no fraud takes place. The Grand Forge Rite The second trial of a newly blooded is to now smith a weapon of their choice. This weapon must be of masterwork quality, and be done in front of the eyes of the Grand Rune Forger. This may seem like a simple task but if there is even the smallest imperfection the trial fails. The Prosperity Rite The final trial of a newly blooded is to prove their ability as a merchant, and also their loyalty to the clan. They must find a way to make five hundred mina, and donate it to the clan leader. This is a large but it is to help ensure the members of the clan are dedicated. In addition the total amount can be reduced by deeds completed. Tradition The clan worships the Brathmordakin just like any true dwarf of Urguan, but they also venerate metal, and stone. This is seen with the fact they refuse to mass produce something when they smith, and instead are known to put all of their heart into the crafting of specialty crafted items. The Eternal Burial This tradition is carried out upon the death of a member of the clan. Their body will be laid in a stone sarcophagus constructed personally for them, dictating their notable deeds. In their hands they will be laid with their smithing hammer. The sarcophagus is then laid in the burial hall of the Runehammer clan to forever rest with their kin. The Forgefire Tournament With smithing being held to such a high regard the clan hosts a competition among all of its members both blooded, and bastard to partake in every twelve years. This occasion is a way for all members to show off their skills, and abilities to smith. In addition it is a way to get the chance to learn under a Forge Guard, or even the Grand Rune Forger. The Steel Wright Feast The Steel Wright Feast is done every time a member of the clan completes their three trials, and proves themselves worthy of being within the clan. It is a grand feast with a vast amount of food, and drink. In addition at this time the Grand Rune Forger offers a gift to the Steel Wright that will be custom made based upon what they see. Hierarchy Grand Rune Forger The Grand Rune Forger leads the clan; it is their job to ensure the clan continues to run. This is a title held for life, and upon the death of the Grand Rune Forger a vote is held amongst the Forge Guards to elect a new Grand Rune Forger. The tasks of the Grand Rune Forger are to oversee the trials, enforce rules, and ensure the clan continues to live. You must be a blooded to become the Grand Rune Forger Forge Guard The Forge Guard are the most respected members within the clan, and are hand selected by the Grand Rune Forger. They serve for life, or until the Grand Rune Forger determines you are no longer worthy of the title. There are never more than seven Forge Guard at a time. The tasks of the Forge Guard are to enforce rules, defend the Clan Hall with their life, and teach the younger members the art of smithing. Steel Wright The Steel Wrights are the most common within the clan as they are members who have completed all three of their trials, and proved to be worthy of being in the clan. These tasks are vast, and hard to list but the most notable is responding to the call to arms if Urguan goes to war. Emberling Newly born members, or newly unblooded dwarves who have not completed their trials. They are treated with little respect, and have no real tasks as they are not yet trusted. Friend of the Forge Folk who are named friends of the Forge are respected amongst the clan, and given permission to come to many events hosted. ================================================================================ Signed, Grimmnir Runehammer, Grand Rune Forger of Clan Runehammer, Grand master of the Oldfire Forge Royal Guild.

A certain red-haired dwed finds himself looking at the missive after a unfortunate event that partook in Celia'nor. "'ow vereh interestin; Ah laddeh noimed Art'ur t'at beh in Celia'nor bein accused of bein part of ah cult. OI wondah 'ow t'e wroiter would feel knowin ta laddeh admited ta being close friends wit' t'e An-Gho. Oit seems oi 'ave some lettahs ta wroite." The dwed then walks off to the Aviary.

A Rebuttal to the Illiterate Fools Maintained by Clan Runehammer ================================================================================ ================================================================================ Dear Idiots, In response to the ASTOUNDING number of folk who have sent me a letter regarding the missive that I have posted across Aevos looking to take on folk who wish to learn the art of metal smithing. Sadly it seems that many are uneducated fools who can not, or choose not to read. To the fools who are trying to STEAL the art of golems, FOR SHAME. There is a reason that the craft is so hard to find, and very few learn it. To even think of giving it to those who are looking for a handout makes me sick! Golem Crafting is a sacred art to the Dwed, and for anyone to see a missive of learning a craft and have no issue trying to press that into stealing the art is a DISGRACE. Shame upon you, your ancestors, and your descendants, and I pity those who try to teach you anything. You are offered a drink, and DEMAND the whole keg. In summary, I WASN’T, AM NOT, and NEVER WILL BE openly offering the secret of Golems to the likes of you who hold no morals. If you have sent me a letter regarding Golems, consider yourself blacklisted from the school for now and forever, and Your name shall be inscribed and forever remembered, so the shame you bring upon yourself and your kin will never be forgotten. Dear Artisans, It brings me great joy to see the vast amount of people who wish to learn the art of SMITHING, and are willing to go through the entire process. You are all still welcome to come forth, and learn the art of SMITHING, and in partnership with an alchemic school run by Knox Sturmstrike, may also learn the art of alchemy. I am deeply sorry for the GLUTTONOUS WRETCHES who wasted my time, and thus made my responses to those interested slower. Know this: those who genuinely wish to learn will do so. But be WARNED, if you seek to gain my favor only to leverage it for your own ends, your name will also be added to the list, forever to be remembered in SHAME. ================================================================================ Signed, Grimmnir Runehammer, Grand Rune Forger of Clan Runehammer Knox Sturmstrike, Head Librarian, Head Teacher of the Alchemist’s Guild

Grimmnir Runehammer realizes he forgot to mention a location, and attaches the address. A smithy that was on the outskirts of Lotusgarde, Silasia.

================================================================================ The Oldfire Forge Maintained by Clan Runehammer ================================================================================ ================================================================================ The Purpose Formed on the basis of craftsmanship, and respect. The Oldfire Forge, a dwarven run forge, was made to find a place not only to purchase a vast variety of items ranging from simple jewels, to weapons, to even golems. It was also formed to spread the art of smithing to others. This includes the more well known ferrum, and aurum but also some of the harder to work with metals like anorum, and black-ferrum. At this time the rarest of metals like azhl are still not being taught, for now. The Apprentice Process The process of becoming an apprentice at the Oldfire Forge has a couple steps. Each step has a different thing to test the apprentice’s aptitude to learn, and be a problem solver. If you wish to start this process you must contact Grimmnir Runehammer(Sir_DB) by sending a letter. Trial 1 The apprentice must prove their ability to understand the basics of craftsmanship, and thus will need to make a design of something they wish to craft on a piece of paper, and show it to Grimmnir. He will then judge the design, and provide feedback, without making changes to it. The apprentice must use this feedback to make the design better. Trial 2 After the first trial is complete the apprentice will be tasked to source different materials used in crafting; These materials will change depending on what they made in the first trial. After sourcing these materials they must explain how each is processed, and refined. Trial 3 The final trial of an apprentice is to attempt to craft the item they designed in the first trial; They are not expected to succeed but they have to try, and after it is finished they will show Grimmnir who will judge its quality, and explain to them how to improve it. This must be done in the presence of Grimmnir to ensure they make it, and they did not have someone else do so. Apprentice Hood Upon completion of the three trials the apprentice will then be judged by Grimmnir as a person, and if they pass this judgment they will be taken on as an apprentice. This will be a more hands-on learning then just reading a book, and will come with actual lessons where Grimmnir smiths something in their presence. The Products Listed below will be a list of different items that Oldfire Forge produces, and will be updated as new products are made. Mass Produced N/A Custom Made Items Simple jewelry (Nondescript, and easily made) | 10 mina to 25 mina Special, or Heirloom-like Jewelry (Very Fancy) | 25 mina to 100 mina Simple Weaponry (Basic Weapons, Little detail) | 15 min to 45 mina Advanced Weaponry (Advanced Weapons, Very Detailed) | 35 mina to 100 mina Basic Armor(Leather, or Hide) | 65 mina to 135 mina Advanced Armor (Chainmail, and Plate) | 150 mina to 500 mina Custom Golem Items Servus Golem |100 mina to 300 mina Golem Eyes | 65 mina to 75 mina Basic Prosthetic (No Sigils) | 125 mina to 200 mina Advanced Prosthetic (Sigils) | 150 mina to 300 mina Mundus Golem ( OOC: You need a player ) | 500+ Mina Brutus Golem ( OOC: You need a player) | 1500+ Mina Payment Payment will be done in two scenarios half of it up front, and the other half after the item has been delivered.

The Location The guild is housed in two locations The main location is the Capital of Urguan And a secondary location within the region of Silasia. ================================================================================ Signed, Grimmnir Runehammer, Grand Rune Forger of Clan Runehammer

Florian let's out a long sigh as he reads this missive, and then shakes his head. "Just a elven night ago Yera, and I slew a demonkin that threatened us in the Mount; and now this god-complex of a mage comes back to open another rift? Will they ever learn that their only advantage of fear is now null? This 'Riftmaker's association' must be stopped. It is time to show them that the search for power, will only lead them to their destruction.

A snow-haired auvergian reads the missive, and sighs aloud "I do hope the darkspawn are offered a chance to cure. But I shall stand with Celia'nor."

The Court Scribe of Brabent, Florian Leroux, would read over the document carefully. His blue-eyes carefully examining the missive for the first time- A bit of surprise that such a document did not go through him initially. He however approved for it was well written. After reading the missive Florian would sit down at his desk, and begin to write a letter to Lothair. Lothair of Brabent, First and foremost I wanted to compliment your writing for it is of excellence- Even without my added touch to it. Secondly, I do enjoy the idea of standing during court because I do believe that the court would be more productive- this being said It would need to have some changes to the hall so that those whom wish to write, or need to write like myself can do so with ease. I suggest building a desk that has some sort of cog, or mechanism to extend its height to be usable whilst stand so that scribes like myself do not have to bend over to write, or do so on our unsteady hands. Signed, Florian Leroux, Court Scribe of Brabent

Florian Leroux looked over the missive with a observant eye. His eyes carefully reading, before giving a nod and saying allowed "Ah! Fantastic. I will need to make a report on this soon." he nods his head, and opens a book, and quill to take some notes down.

House Savelie History House Savelie traces its roots back to the days of Almaris. Its founding members were Lazarev Yulian Savelie and his wife Isabella Daria Vladimirovna. Though the family remained honest, they never ascended to nobility. Instead, they earned renown as skilled hunters of both mundane and magical beasts. Throughout the generations, the family remained small, with a maximum of seven members at any given time. However, tragedy struck more recently. The fifth head of the house was Levin Yurity Savelie and his wife Peshina Yarina Savelie. They led the house for about five years before their first child, Nikolai Pyotr Savelie, was born. Despite their attempts, they were unable to have more children. When young Nikolai turned ten, on his birthday, he was out exploring with friends when he returned home to find his family's house engulfed in flames. Despite his efforts to save them, he couldn't rescue his parents and found them already dead with deep cut wounds to their necks before the fire even started. Devastated by the loss, Nikolai declined offers from the village to raise him, choosing instead to run away and dedicate himself to training. Eventually, he settled in the Duchy of Stran. Current Members Presently, House Savelie has only one surviving member and the current patriarch, Nikolai Pyotr Savelie. Despite his young age, Nikolai has already proven himself as a formidable warrior. On his first day in the Duchy of Stran, he valiantly defended the city of Andregrad, though he suffered the loss of his arm in the battle. Driven by vengeance, the determined sixteen-year-old managed to slay the bandit responsible for his injury, even while heavily wounded. Thanks to the generosity of the duchy, Nikolai was able to purchase an automail arm from the esteemed Shugo Kato. With his new arm, he demonstrated his prowess by defeating a bandit with just two swings of his flail, the final swing decapitating the bandit. The tale of House Savelie, with its legacy of hunting prowess and recent tragic events, now rests upon the shoulders of Nikolai Pyotr Savelie, the last hope to carry on the family name.
