STEPPING DOWN GREETINGS HONORBOUND BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I WRITE TO YOU WITH A HEAVY HEART, AS I MUST FORMALLY ANNOUNCE MY DEPARTURE FROM THE KRIMPGOTH POSITION. DESPITE MY TIME AS YOUR KRIMPGOTH BEING SHORT, THERE ARE MANY THINGS I BELIEVE HAVE BEEN DONE ADEQUATELY. THE FRAMEWORK SET BY GRIMRUK’LUR HAS BEEN EXCELLENT AND I AM VERY PROUD TO HAVE CLOSELY FOLLOWED IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MY FALLEN BROTHER. HOWEVER, MY MIND IS PERTURBED. I HAVE COMMITTED MANY DISHONORABLE ACTS IN MY YOUTH, MANY OF WHICH HAVE GONE UNPUNISHED. I AGREE THAT THE HORDE MUST STAY UNITED AND THAT EVERY ONE OF US HAS A PLACE WITHIN THE GLORIOUS HONORBOUND LANDS OF KRUG, BUT I CANNOT BEAR THIS DISHONOR UPON MY SHOULDERS ANY LONGER. WE, AS URUKHIM, ARE PEOPLE OF ACTION— AND ACTION MUST BE DONE. MY DEEPEST THANKS GO TO HORDESPEAKER GROMMASH AND THE REX COUNCIL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY AND MY DEEPEST APOLOGIES GO TO THOSE WHO ARE INCONVENIENCED BY MY DEPARTURE. LOK’TAR OGAR, DRUS.

A MOMENTARY PAUSE THE HUNTING OF WHITEWASHES HAS BEEN EXEMPLARY. YOU’VE ALL DONE VERY WELL WITH ENSURING THAT WHITEWASHES ARE REPORTED TO ME, OR THE KRIMPHAI, AND ARE DEALT WITH SWIFTLY FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST THE URUKHIM SOUL. HOWEVER, THE HORDE IS GOING THROUGH SOME FINANCIAL STRAINS. DURING THIS TIME OF HORDE EXPANSION, WE MUST PUT ALL OF OUR FUNDS AND RESOURCES INTO ENSURING THE BETTERMENT OF THE URUKHIM PEOPLE. FOR THIS REASON, PAYMENTS ON BOUNTIES ARE HALTED FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. YOU ARE STILL ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY WHITEWASHES TO MYSELF AND THE KRIMPHAI. IT IS ALSO ENCOURAGED TO DONATE TO THE HORDE DURING THIS TIME. IN THE FUTURE, WHEN WE ARE ABLE, WE SHALL REDUCE THE REWARD PAYOUT. BOUNTIES SHALL ALSO HAVE NEW RULES INTSTATED TO REDUCE CONFUSION. TO THOSE WHO FORSAKE THE URUKHIM SOUL, DO NOT THINK FOR EVEN A MOMENT THAT THIS IS SOME FORM OF AMNESTY FOR YOUR CRIMES. YOU ARE NOT PARDONED. YOU ARE NOT FREE. YOU ARE NOT SAFE. REJOIN THE HONORBOUND LANDS OF KRUG FOR REEDUCATION OR DIE. IT IS A SIMPLE CHOICE, BUT ONLY YOU CAN MAKE IT. LOK’TAR OGAR, DRUS, KRIMPGOTH OF THE IRON HORDE.

THE KRIMPHAI I AM BUT ONLY ONE URUKHIM. I CANNOT REALISTICALLY CARRY THE TEACHINGS OF URUKHIM CULTURE UPON MY BACK NOR TEACH EVERY NEW BLOOD ON MY OWN. FOR THIS REASON, I OFFICIALLY DECLARE THE FORMATION OF THE KRIMPHAI. THE KRIMPHAI SHALL BE MY ASSISTANTS AND SHALL ACT IN MY STEAD IF I AM UNABLE TO PERFORM MY DUTIES. THEY SHALL BE TASKED WITH THE FOLLOWING. PERFORMING HONORARY TRIALS. DECLARING WHITEWASHES AND BOUNTIES AGAINST THEM. TEACHING NEW BLOOD URUKHIM TRADITION AND CULTURE. THERE SHALL BE A TOTAL OF GAKH (THREE), KRIMPHAI. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CURRENT ENLISTED KRIMPHAI: KRETZ’OX GROZTHARK’DOM MAY THEY PRESERVE OUR CULTURE WITH THE HONOR AND INTEGRITY OF OUR ANCESTORS. LOK’TAR OGAR, DRUS, KRIMPGOTH OF THE IRON HORDE.

ON WHITEWASH BOUNTIES GREETINGS WHITEWASH HUNTERS OF AEVOS, BE YOU HONORBOUND BROTHER/SISTER OR OTHER DESCENDANT RACE. YOU HAVE ALL DONE EXEMPLARY AT HUNTING THE WHITEWASHES HIDING AMONGST OTHER KINGDOMS. FOR THIS, I AM GRATEFUL. ALL BOUNTIES HAVE BEEN CLAIMED BY THE FOLLOWING: GOB ZTABBA-ZNIFFA (THRAALUK’GORKIL) URAG SILOG (APEK’GORKIL) AS FOR PAYMENT, THE DOMINUS SHALL PAY YOU THE REWARDS THAT YOU SEEK. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HUNTING THOSE WHO HAVE WRONGED THE HORDE AND FORSAKEN THEIR URUKHIM SOUL. IN THE FUTURE, I WILL WORK ON RULES REGARDING THESE BOUNTIES AS, ALTHOUGH I AM APPRECIATIVE OF THE WORK OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS HAVE DONE WITH EXTERMINATING WHITEWASHES-- IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE GIVE OTHERS, THOSE WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR SPHERE, A CHANCE IN HUNTING THOSE WHO HAVE FORSAKEN THEIR SOUL. LOK’TAR OGAR, DRUS, KRIMPGOTH OF THE IRON HORDE.

(IMAGE MADE WITH DALL-E 3/BING AI) A FRIENDLY CHAT Ogmios, a Cingedoz Highlander, would travel to Bodbwodz each morning. Wherever he may have been the previous night, he’d always travel to the home built by his dear friend, Cunimind, and visit his grave. Ogmios would chat casually with his fallen friend each time he'd visit. “Cunimund.” Ogmios would smile, sitting next to his friend's grave, “It’s good to see you.” “Things haven’t been great.” He’d start, “I’ve yet to find any of our kin, unfortunately. It’s been a long search, but, I haven’t seen a single wandering Cinged soul— besides myself. I don’t know where else to look.” “You always had a way of gathering people.” He’d continue, “When you spoke, people listened. I’m not good at that.” “But, when you fell in battle and the barony was razed, it turned everything into a ghost town.” Ogmios would grumble, “Why couldn’t you have just killed the bastard?” “You could’ve done amazing things, Cunimund— fantastic things! Even more than you already have done.” He’d continue, his face showing more signs of anger than mourning, “Couldn’t you have cut his leg while you were down? Couldn’t you have called for help?” He’d stand, beginning to yell, “Couldn’t you have done… something?!” After he finished he’d realize that he was, in fact, yelling at a grave. He’d sigh, sitting down again. “I’m sorry. I wish I could’ve been there. But, it wouldn’t have been honorable. You made a decision, and, it had consequences.” “I don’t know what to do, Cunimund. What could I do to find our people? What could I do to keep them alive?” Ogmios would plead, “Please, tell me. Could you for me at least that?” There’d be no response, just the noise of wind blowing leaves. He’d sigh. “I know I’ve not been around. I want to change that— I do. But, I don’t know how.” He’d sigh, “You always told me something… I can’t remember what it was exactly, but, you’d always lead me to the right path. Even as a young fella, you knew what I could do to help.” -- “But, now you’re gone— and I don’t know what to do for my own people.” He’d rub his face, trying to get rid of any tears that have now sullied some of his warpaint. “Maybe I’ll find out someday.” Ogmios would stand, patting the grave with his hand, and begin to leave. “You meant a lot to me, Cunimund. You meant a lot to every one of us.” He’d continue, “I just hope, wherever you are, that you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished.” Ogmios would step down, exiting through the mountain pass.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF KRIMP CHANGES GREETINGS HONORABLE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE HONORBOUND LANDS OF KRUG. AS TIME CONTINUES, CHANGE COMES. FEAST YOUR EYES UPON THESE CHANGES IN THE STATUS OF HONORARIES AND THE DUTIES OF KRIMPGOTH AS A WHOLE. AZH - KRIMPHAI: I AM BUT ONLY ONE URUKHIM. I CANNOT HUNT THE WHITEWASHES, ENSURE THE PURITY OF URUKHIM CULTURE, NOR DECLARE HONORARIES MYSELF. WITH THIS IN MIND, I SHALL INSTATE THE ROLE OF ‘KRIMPHAI’, MY OFFICIAL ASSISTANT(S) IN MY DUTIES. THERE SHALL BE A TOTAL OF THREE KRIMPHAI, EACH OF WHOM WILL BE CHOSEN BY ME OR THE REX COUNCIL AT OUR DISCRETION. ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE POSITION MAY SPEAK WITH US REGARDING THEIR APTITUDE FOR IT. DUB - WARGOTH INCOMPETENCE: WITH THE CHANGES TO HONORARY TRIALS, THE DOMINUS AND I HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THE ABILITY OF WARGOTHS TO PERFORM THE TRIALS NECESSARY FOR ONE TO BECOME AN HONORARY URUKHIM. THIS WAS, IN OUR EYES, A MISTAKE. WARGOTHS HAVE DONE LITTLE IN KEEPING THEIR CLANS ALIVE AND SHOWN LITTLE APTITUDE IN PERFORMING THESE SACRED RITES. WE DECLARE THAT ALL POWER GIVEN TO WARGOTHS IN HONORARY TRIALS IS HEARBY STRIPPED. THE ONLY PEOPLE ALLOWED TO GIVE AN ASPIRANT HONORARY THEIR TRIALS ARE ME, THE KRIMPHAI, AND THE DOMINUS. THE REX CAN IF HE WANTS, I JUST DON’T THINK HE’D WANT TO. GAKH - TRIAL CHANGES: THE HONORARY TRIALS IMPOSED BY GRIMRUK’LUR HAVE, AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, BEEN EXEMPLARY AT WEEDING OUT THOSE WHO ARE UNFIT TO BE HONORARY. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO OTHERS BETTER AT DETERMINING WHO IS OF URUKHIM SOUL THAN THE ANCESTORS, THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN URUKHIM LONG BEFORE US. FOR THIS REASON, A NEW TRIAL IS NOW IN PLACE THAT CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME: THE SPIRIT TRIAL. HONORARY-INITIATES MUST SPEAK WITH A LUTAUMAN, THOSE WHO’VE INTERTWINED THEMSELVES WITH THE STARGUSH, AND MUST TRAVEL WITH THEM INTO THE SPIRIT ‘UZG. THE LUTAUMAN MUST SPEAK WITH AN ANCESTOR OF THEIR CHOOSING, VOUCHING FOR THE HONORARY-INITIATE. THE ANCESTOR WILL, HOPEFULLY, GIVE THE HONORARY A TASK BEFITTING OF OUR PEOPLE. WHEN THE TASK IS COMPLETED, IT IS DECLARED THAT THE ANCESTOR VOUCHES FOR THE HONORARY-INITIATE AND THE TRIAL IS COMPLETE. FUTH - OOPSIES!: AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, I AM BUT ONLY ONE URUKHIM. I AM FALLIBLE, I AM CAPABLE OF MAKING MISTAKES. UPON FURTHER INTROSPECTION, I HAVE REALIZED THAT I HAVE MADE A GRIEVOUS ERROR. THE GOBLIN KNOWN AS ‘GOB ZTABBA-ZNIFFA’ IS NOT WORTHY OF BEING OF URUKHIM SOUL, NOR SHOULD HAVE THEY BEEN PARDONED BY ME. FOR THIS ERROR TO BE RECTIFIED, THE GOBBO KNOWN AS ‘GOB ZTABBA-ZNIFFA’ IS HEARBY DECLARED AN OFFICIAL WHITEWASH. THOSE WISHING TO SLAY OR CAPTURE THE GOBBO MAY SPEAK TO ME, THE DOMINUS, OR THE KRIMPHAI DIRECTLY. SLAYING OR CAPTURING THE GOBBO COMES WITH THE SAME REWARDS AS THE OTHER WHITEWASHES (NO REFUNDS). SINCEREST APOLOGIES FOR THE MISTAKE. LOK’TAR OGAR, DRUS, KRIMPGOTH OF THE IRON HORDE.

[A GOBBO READS THE MISSIVE TO DRUS. HE WRITES HIS OWN MISSIVE TO THE CHALLENGER.] TO MINE HONORABLE BROTHER, WITHIN THE HORDE, IT IS OUR WAY TO SHOW ACTION WHEN FACED WITH STAGNATION. IN LIGHT OF THIS, I GREATLY RESPECT YOUR CHALLENGE AGAINST MY DECISION REGARDING THE PARDONING OF GOB ZTABBA-ZNIFFA. HOWEVER, BEFORE WE BEGIN TO SPILL OUR BLOOD, LET US SPEAK REGARDING YOUR WOES AGAINST THEIR PARDONING SO THAT I MAY RECTIFY THE ISSUE. FIND ME WITHIN THE HONORBOUND LANDS, SO THAT WE MAY SPEAK ABOUT THIS ALLEGED WHITEWASH. LOK'TAR OGAR, DRUS, KRIMPGOTH OF THE IRON HORDE.
