fairly unrealistic, most lotcers are banned from their IRL D&D groups for arguing with the dungeon master

A public notice would be added to Urguan's notice board : The Trial of Thromdrick Irongut 9th of the Grand Harvest Year 176 of the Second Age By : Zahir Case : Thromdrick v. Tuzic Mossbourne Judge: Jorvin Starbreaker Date: 9th of the Grand Harvest, Year 176 of the Second Age Parties Present: Accused: Thromdrick Irongut Council: Darid Irongrinder Accuser: Tuzic 1. Tuzic's Testimony Tuzic's testimony painted a vivid picture of his interactions with Lurdoic, conveying deep concern and regret as he witnessed his kin's descent into darkness. Despite earnest attempts to guide Lurdoic towards the teachings of the Brathmordakin, Tuzic faced resistance and defiance, grappling with the harrowing truth of Lurdoic's intentions. 2. Thromdrick's Defense Thromdrick presented a confident and authoritative defense, adamantly refuting the accusations and challenging the integrity of Tuzic's claims. He meticulously recounted events, invoking the principles of the Brathmordakin to emphasize his dedication to dwarven tradition and morality, casting doubt on the validity of the accusations against him. As he is a respected member of dwarven society, it is further complicating the narrative and casting doubt on the validity of the accusations against him. 3. Witness Testimonies Hana Starbreaker corroborated Tuzic's testimony, providing first hand observations of Lurdoic's descent into darkness. However, Thromdrick remained steadfast in his defense, offering a rational explanation for his possession of the containment orb linked to Lurdoic's corruption. His calm demeanor and logical arguments cast doubt on the validity of the witness testimonies. 4. Expert Opinion Kazrin Starbreaker, an authority on voidal magic, offered valuable insights into the risks associated with Thromdrick's alleged teachings, guiding Jorvin towards a nuanced understanding of the case. King 5. King Grelu's Testimony As the revered ruler of the dwarven kingdom, King Grelu's words carry immense weight in the throne room. His testimony served as a sobering reminder of the stakes involved in the trial, highlighting the profound implications of Thromdrick's alleged actions. King Grelu's unwavering commitment to dwarven values and traditions underscored the gravity of the situation, leaving a lasting impression on all who bear witness to his words. 6. The Decision After deliberation, Jorvin rendered his judgment, ordering Thromdrick to pay a 500 mians fine to the Mossborn clan for gross negligence and conspiracy to subvert justice. He then posed a question to Thromdrick regarding the possibility of reversing the voidstalking ritual, to which Thromdrick responded negatively. Despite objections, Jorvin reiterated the necessity of ending voidistalking practices and urged Thromdrick to seek assistance for the reversal. Bickering escalated as Darid Irongrinder raised concerns about the consequences of reversing the ritual. Jorvin defended his judgment as a mercy, aiming to prevent Thromdrick and others like him from becoming dangerous entities consumed by the void. Thazzaer Grandaxe challenged the validity of the sentence, citing the need for adherence to the letter of the law. However, Jorvin asserted his authority to issue sentences as he deemed necessary, in consultation with the king. Despite the objections, Jorvin reiterated the necessity of ending voidistalking practices and urged Thromdrick to seek assistance from fellow mages for the reversal. Thromdrick defiantly chose exile, condemning the kingdom's regulation of voidistalking. Further bickering ensued, but nothing of that was scribed as the judgement was passed. A full copy of the court’s transcript is available for purchase to the High Reckoners and the Grand Kingdom, a hefty fee will be charged to the parties.

They hacked into the source code !

The combat lock rule only applying outside of cities would be a great addition or for it to be 30-60 minutes of time inside cities. It fucks up the stories in cities a little bit. Well on other hand, it's easy to accept that an interaction is what 1-2 mins max IRL so it would be normal to lock it at the same time since, someone getting robbed in a dark city corner, doesn't bring out 15 other people right away. There's a middleground we can find I would say.

Leading the injured Korgi back to his abode, Dor’Nal paused, ensuring the notice was prominently displayed on the board for all to peruse. Expressing gratitude once more to Korgi for deeming him a hero, he felt a surge of his renewed idiotic-confidence as they continued their journey. The Movement v. The State 163 of the Second Age, 15th of The Grand Harvest First, I would like to personally thank Korgi Jewelbeard, what an amazing legal representative for The Movement, the lad’s ready to take it all, from insults to punches. Korgi you are an amazing dwarf, thank you for your work, thank you. Our legal campaign against the High Prophet was a success, there’s no worrying about the result. Let me explain to you how these things work; you put random charges together and you try to make them stick, that’s what Korgi taught me, he’s the best after all. You can only thank us for funding the city rebuild, we will wait for your letters in our mailbox. The events that transpired during the court case will undoubtedly echo throughout the annals of our history. It was not merely an affront to the rights of the citizens of Urguan but a blatant violation of justice systems across the vast realm of Aevos. An incident unfolded as Sigrun purported to disbar my lawyer. Sigrun, I might not be aware, you, allegedly, lack proper education. Allow me to clarify: in Urguan, there exists no bar system. Every dwed is free to represent another in the court of law. Your dismissal, allegedly, holds no weight. Then, the prospective king, Sigrun Stonehammer, chose to spurn the very principles of justice. His decision to unleash his Stonehammer thugs upon my esteemed legal representative, Korgi Jewelbeard, speaks of a dark chapter. They, with brutish force, sought to silence him and almost killed him for echoing my own writings—a grave act that will be etched into the collective memory of all dwarves. By extension, I consider Sigrun's actions a personal affront. Sigrun Stonehammer, I implore you to consider that, allegedly, we shall reclaim our kingdom through positive force, ushering it back to the times of Anthos—one of the most peaceful eras for dwarves. Our aim is to restore stability among our ranks. A glance through the historical records reveals a promising era to emulate. After his rest, Korgi and I will be in consultation to draft a grudge to be settled between The Movement and Sigrun Stonehammer. Had I accepted an honor duel against Sigrun Stonehammer, he would have marveled at my arm, which, I believe, is the fastest in Aevos, as proven in my personal victory over Charles "The Bald," one of the greatest Urguani heroes the dwarves have ever seen as he single handedly took down the Kingdom of Kaz’Ulrah by killing Dreek Ireheart II. Sigrun, believe me, you will, in minas, dearly pay for your crimes and, could be, positively affected by The Movement’s efforts to bring a better Urguan and that, we can only be sorry for you. This marks only the beginning, The Movement

"JUSTICEHHH WOILL PREVAIL" yells Dor'Nal Hammerfist after reading the summons from the court, he would then go back to prepare his uncompleted legal team.

"I dunnae remember killing the king of Norland, ah do remember the king of Norland being charged and being convicted by the High Courts at the time, someone is on teh good kind" said Dor'Nal Hammerfist after reading the leaked missive to Jorvin Starbreaker. (( nice meta ))

As the duo walked into the halls of the High Courts of The Grand Kingdom of Urguan, they were ready to fight a legal battle in the courts of Urguan for the greater good of the people’s rights. They would leave copies of the following paper in every office then put a final copy on the notice board, for everyone to see : Dor’Nal Hammerfist v. Alaric Grimgold 3rd of Sun’s Smile Dear High Courts of The Grand Kingdom of Urguan, I am writing to bring to the attention of the High Courts a series of grave transgressions committed by Mr. Alaric Grimgold, leader of Da Kirkja Dverga and the clan Grimgold, against my character and, more importantly, against the State of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. The incident occurred in the presence of a group of dwarves and involves serious allegations of defamation, harassment, treason, sedition, and subversion of justice. On the 12th of The Grand Harvest, in the presence of many witnesses, I casually mentioned to another dwarf that I would not require the assistance of Mr. Alaric Grimgold in the coming weeks. Regrettably, Mr. Grimgold overheard this innocuous conversation and proceeded to launch into a defamatory rant, falsely accusing me of being a traitor and a thief. Crucially, I want to emphasize that I have not been officially convicted of any crimes, and Mr. Grimgold failed to provide any evidence or specifics regarding the alleged theft. Furthermore, he fabricated a falsehood by claiming that I showed stolen items to him, an event that has never transpired. If I had stolen from him, it would make sense that Mr.Grimgold would have created a court case against me at the time which he did not. Mr. Grimgold is also defying court orders that he personally accepted back in the two court cases he was involved in 15 years ago, an investigation on our end could lead to more charges being raised against his person. Mr. Grimgold's unfounded accusations did not end there. When confronted, he refused to apologize and persisted in defaming my character. Subsequently, when offered the opportunity to uphold my honor through an honor duel, he callously declined. Moreover, he openly declared his intention to disregard any legal proceedings in the High Courts, demonstrating a blatant disrespect for the institutions that form the foundation of The Grand Kingdom. Given that these actions occurred in front of a group of dwarves, publicly, rather than privately, it can be construed that Mr. Grimgold, as the leader of Da Kirkja Dverga and the clan Grimgold, publicly engaged in seditious behavior against the High Courts and showed a complete disregard for the laws that constitute the Grand Kingdom. This, in itself, amounts to treason and subversion of justice against the State of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Furthermore, it has come to my attention that Mr. Grimgold has engaged in the act of harassment publicly on multiple occasions, even preceding our initial acquaintance. Since my arrival, he has consistently led a campaign of harassment against my person, creating an environment that is detrimental to my well-being. It is crucial to note that Mr. Grimgold, in his capacity as a clan leader and the leader of the clergy, occupies a prominent and influential role within the Grand Kingdom. As a public figure, he symbolically represents the values and principles of the Grand Kingdom itself. Consequently, his actions carry weight and can have far-reaching consequences for the reputation and stability of the Grand Kingdom. I hereby request a formal hearing in front of the High Courts to address the serious allegations against Mr. Alaric Grimgold. I believe that a fair and impartial examination of this matter is essential for upholding the principles of justice and integrity within our grand kingdom. As we stand today, we are accusing Mr. Alaric Grimgold of the following crimes: Section V. Noted Crimes Against Persons - 1. Harassment - 7. Slander Section VII. Noted Crimes Against The State - 1.Treason - 2.Sedition - 3.Subversion of Justice Called to stand during the trial: - Bostone Grimgold - Baldur Stonehammer - Sigrun Stonehammer - Norli Starbreaker - And any other witness present that we may ask to be present I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that the High Courts will ensure a just resolution in accordance with the laws of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. If you wish to contact me, please refer to my legal team Darek Irongrider and his associates moving forward. Sincerely, Darek Irongrinder Arch-Runelord of the citadel-commune of Arcadia and Az’Adar. Lord-Comrad in arms of the dwarven people’s holdfast of Khron’Hundmar. General secretary of the dwarven worker’s party, former child, veteran of the great patriotic war and master of tungdil’s balance’. Dor’Nal Hammerfist The leader of The Movement

A LETTER TO ALL OF KIN Ladies and gentlemen, dwarves and kin, We address you today to discuss the concerning state of our great dwarf kingdom. Our once proud kingdom is not slowly transforming into a forest, the kind with ale-loving dwarves and whimsical smoking trees, but rather a landscape marred by the undesirable influence of misguided leadership. The current king has taken, a few years ago, the drastic step of removing elder clans from his council, essentially usurping the identity of our kingdom from the mountain dwarves. It is high time we consider taking back our kingdom, either through force or political means. We must remove detrimental components and leaders to start afresh, but we must not repeat the mistakes we have made when choosing candidates for kingship. We cannot afford to have individuals like Heffrum embedded within our politics, nor should we heed the counsel of forest dwarves dictating our actions. Our kingdom is plagued with significant issues, and it's time to acknowledge the gravity of the situation: The leadership of the clergy has been entrusted to someone who merely collects titles, contributes little, and consistently raises multiple issues privately without offering solutions, he should have been, with his clan, kicked out of the kingdom. The clergy is a crucial component of our kingdom, and its inactivity reflects poorly on the mountain dwarves. We made the mistake of accepting a group of dwarves whose values do not align with our culture. Now we are paying the price, witnessing the erosion of our own cultural identity, even has multiple people warned you. Demoting and removing elder clans from the council is a disgrace to Urguani customs and a symptom of poor leadership. We cannot allow such actions to persist. Some clan leaders believed they could dominate the mountain, but any movement against others has proven futile. Unity is essential, and divisive actions only lead to failure. The Ireheart and Frostbeard rise was and was managed by members outside of the community because those within were too blind. Our keep remains unrepaired, despite promises of major replacement projects. If any progress is made, it is inevitably delayed by another 3-4 stone months. Individuals who have never led our kingdom are still influencing leadership councils, guiding us down a destructive path. I acknowledge that my words may seem inconsequential at this moment, as they always have been, but they always have been somewhat true. As I sit in my humble chair and occasionally visit the mountain, even I, with a heavy heart, witness the decline of our kingdom when The Movement warned you. The lack of hope we feel reflects a sentiment shared by many – Urguan, it seems, is losing its appeal. We're unsure about what might reignite our passion, and it seems like it may never be rekindled. The Movement ________________________________ OOC We must consider that, in the context of our roleplay timeline, years equate to mere weeks. Therefore, if an individual has held a position for an extended period, particularly four years or more, without demonstrating significant contributions, it is prudent to reevaluate their role and encourage a more active engagement. It is imperative that we take steps to enhance the quality of our roleplay by removing individuals who are not actively contributing to the community. Why are we still pushing for runesmithing approval? I've noticed 15 different posters on this topic, but it seems like the Urguani community isn't really "collaborating" on it. There's collaboration, then there's creating a group with people that agrees with your ideas, both are different. Let's be honest, claiming "I've tried" doesn't cut it, especially after hitting 22 denials. Every time someone hits the "Submit topic" button, it feels like they believe they're better than the whole Urguan community and have not tried to their fully extent. Achieving runesmithing approval demands introspection and genuine self-discovery. Solo-posting, creating groups, as a solution, fails to address the underlying issues. Instead, it is essential that we foster a sense of community, encourage collaboration, and collectively work towards common goals. Only through a shared commitment to the betterment of Urguan can we hope to see meaningful advancements, including the approval of initiatives like runesmithing. XOXOXO
