Yeah, I haven't been coronated yet, I should have checked with you first abbout any meetings. My bad.))

This would depend on how our skill system build for 1.9 handles enchantments and the like. For now, we shouldn't worry about it much, because enchanting in the current beta build (1.9.4) doesn't work properly in smp in the first place. Enchanted items would affect so many other things as well i.e. shop plugin, increasing skill level with swords/axes (possibly?) etc. it is not worth worrying about until later. As for how things are affected by lore and such, what appears in this topic is, for the most part just broad ideas, since I am sure we want to save a few surprises for when the server actually updates.

(Yes, a meeting is called for, I agree. Tentatively it will be on Saturday so hopefully we can get everyone on. I will post an official thread when I get home today as to the time and all the specifics.)

As always, I serve at the behest of the dwarven nation. If that means I am appointed as king then so be it. I will strive to measure up to the fine examples my predecessors have left and attempt to lead our people to the best of my ability. Though I feel unworthy to be crowned king, I will not shirk my duty to my fellow dwarves. I lament the fact that King Algrim must step from the throne, and mourn another of our monarchs leaving, but I understand that his path now leads to greater things than leader of the dwarves. Alright, that's it. time to get to work. (I am still a bit uncertain that I will have the time the position deserves, but if I find that it is too much to take on, I will have to step down as well. Willie (Algrim) deserves the right to step down though as he is online quite a bit and I know from experience that it is not an easy thing to be the king. Anyway, I will try my best and hope its enough.)

Looks good so far! I know Lukas ((its ljcrzynfree19 btw :) )) and Omithiel are really great builders. I dont know the others, but I am sure we will have an awesome looking capitol. I'm not sure if you meant for this post to be a place for suggestions, but I wanted to give my opinion if I may. Most of my ideas I have been playing around with on my single player worlds in 1.8 mostly, so not sure how it would look using some of the 1.9 options. (I can't stand playing without a texture pack anymore lol) -lava behind either iron bars or behind nether fences to light the main hall's walls. I understand dwarves like caves and dark places and all, but I think torches would make it look too bland and glowstone when overused doesnt look good. Torches in the general areas would be ok though, just think the main hall should be majestic, you know? If not that, Omithiel has some really good carvings in Alras that could be made using this lava method, I think it would look good and have the added benefit of lighting up the hall. -Algrim had what I thought was a good idea for petrified trees in a city we worked on before. I'm thinking we could just make a large tree using native's excellent guide as a reference. If we used mossy cobble for the leaves and stone for the trunk and branches, we could make a cool looking one i think. We'd have to mess with it a bit I think though to make it look good, but it might be a good RP source. You know, have the dwarves life force tied into it, it grows with more dwarves being "born" on the server etc. I dunno, just a thought. -I really like the gatehouse, and use of the stronghold stone, but maybe a few blocks here and there of the crumbling or mossy stronghold stone? Just to give it a bit more character. I do understand if you want to make those places look well kept though, since these places would be a priority for the dwarves to keep maintained. Thats just my 2 cents, but I think you have some great builders backing you up, so I'm not at all worried if you guys dont use or like my ideas. If I get the chance, I'll take some screenies of what I have in my world to show what I mean if the ideas are liked :)

My apologies milord fer not bein in Kal'urguan as of late. I 'ave been searchin the lands fer ores and the like fer our kingdom. ((Unfortunately my timezone means that by the time I'm on during the week, not many of the high council or you willie are on. I've been around helping dwarves, mostly with the poor housing, when I am on,and try to come on a bit earlier on the weekends. Plus I am going on a vacation soon, so I've been working late to make sure my coworkers dont fall apart when I'm gone :P))

Pikel Boldshoulder, I would accept you but I do not know enough about the Golden Harvest and I do not want a conflict of interest. I am not making it a rule YET, but if you already belong to an organization ((includes clans and current jobs)) you have to convince me their intentions are pure ((that they work for the betterment of Kal'Urguan specifically, Aegis generally and not for personal gain or with evil intentions.)) if I do not already know of them. -Gotrek Firemane

Currently accepted applicants: Thrym Deepdelver Heibe Irongut Zack Bravo Bavragor Ironmaw Rookie Grimbeard RG Nuallain Caomhanach Ranks in guild To be determined ((when skills are working:P)) And thanks to the Blackaxe and Irongut clans for their support ((any other applicants weren't accepted is because they either didn't fill out the application correctly, or haven't found me in game.))
