Where to begin?

I return from the most far north to find the capital in ruins and now I have wandered so far and am still confused I gave up sight for knowledge for enlightenment but now I do not know even if this that I right is legible but I am here old and grey but I maintain knowledge even if know I have lost the strength to swing a pick my beliefs may be different but I will not ignore my heritage.

So here I am to serve, to lead, to teach.

-Elder Thane, Nosor Bagrimsson Silverfinger.

The Silverfingers

The history of the Silverfingers starts in the late 500s when Haggar Silverfinger created it and split from the Starbreakers. He and his kin then travelled west for nine days fearing retribution from the Starbreakers, when they found that they were not being hunted they decided to settle on the fringes of the forest dwarf town of Kal’Faro. They were able to make a name for themselves through their mining prowess and soon became rich and prosperous, however they were not without problems as Haggar was getting old and was lacking an heir therefore he finally gave in to his clan mates suggestions to adopt and so he adopted a forest dwarf by the name of Hashut and spent his final hundred years tutoring him in the ways of politics, economics and mining so that he would, when the time came, be capable to run the clan.

After Haggar’s death Hashut was quick to assert respect for him in the clan and Kal’Faro through his eloquent speaking and political understanding and to also make the clan even greater than Haggar could ever have done, he made Kal’Faro his clan’s town. Unlike the clans Kal’Faro was democratic and elected its rulers not through blood but votes, Hashut’s political ability made him, in the villager’s opinion, a great candidate and it became a sure win once he convinced the elders to let his clansmen vote. With the town under his control Hashut set about Improving it, he opened mines, expanded the market district and ordered construction to begin on a castle and other fortifications

*A scrap of paper lays on the floor just outside Nosors door it is a partial translation from an old book*

1)MC Name & RP Name: trotski24, Elder_Nosor_Silverfinger

2)Chosen Patron: Aeriel

3)Reason For Joining (do not have the reason be to become Ascended):

Nosor became heavily religious after joining the UAC and although he has had doubts recent events have renewed his faith he is also in need of a place or group in which he can study as so far he has only have had access to a dozen or so books.

Also He wishes to spread his faith and believes becoming a cleric will give him power to do so.

4)Race: Dwarf

5)Flaws in Your Character: Nosor is quick to rise to insults and has some strange habits as well as a certain lust for power.

6) How long have you been on the server: Since August 4th 2011

Scenario Questions-Answer how you would react to each situation.

7) You notice an Apprentice Shade harassing a lowly citizen. [shades Are Evil Mages]:

Nosor, who is weak in the ways of fighting would try his best not to approach the shade he would throw rocks and fire arrows whilst calling for the guards and shouting of how Aeriel will strike the shade down for his evils.

8) You see a small child shivering in the snow.

Nosor crouches and ask the child if it has any parents the child shakes its head, Nosor offers his hand and places the child on his shoulders and wraps him in his cloak he then takes him to the nearest inn, he rents a room and buys food for the child and then presses a purse of coins into the child's hand.

'Take care'.

9) You are walking down the road when a bandit stops you and threatens to kill you if you don't give him all your money and valuables.

Nosor stares at the bandit sadly and in pity, he grips his purse and places it in the bandits hand he then grabs the bandits wrist with one hand and his shoulder with the and tucks his knee behind the bandits knee brings the bandits arm up to his opposite shoulder and forces him to the floor.Kneeling upon the bandits back Nosor throws away the bandits sword and places his own purse back into his pocket, he then begins to preach to the bandit and tells him of all the posters advertising jobs he saw on the road, releasing him Nosor would stun him with a punch to the kidneys to stun him in case the bandit still wished him harm and walk on.

Of course if this did not work he would be dead.

10) As you walk through the local market place a person begins to yell that Aeriel and the other patrons are weak and cruel and claims that joining Iblees is the only way to survive.

'Ha! have you seen the tenets of Iblees? have you!? They speak of how Iblees will purge the world how he will destroy the societies of our Kingdoms and make the world as the nether! He corrupts whereas so many of his minions have been purged by priest with gifts from Aeriel and the Ascended! Do not preach of what you do not know fool! Lest I strike ye!' Turning to the rest of the crowd 'People do not listen to this rat's lies and profanities for he blasphemies for truly our only hope for enlightenment and blessing lies with the God and the servants of God'

11) A person walks up and asks you, "Why does God allow suffering to continue?"

' Do not lose faith for nothing is withut reason god does such things to test us, to make sure that we do not grow feeble or weak for God can not protect us from all evil and if he did many would soon forget the evil he protects us from so he does not do this he helps silently and unseen the more you believe in him the more you will see the small blessings God bestows upon

us every day.'

Added detail.

Nosor would give the bandit the little money he had and be on his way maybe after trying to persuade the bandit to turn away from his sinning ways.

10) As you walk through the local market place a person begins to yell that Aeriel and the other patrons are weak and cruel and claims that joining Iblees is the only way to survive.

Nosor walks over to the person and strikes him and drags him to the local church to have him confess his sins and purge his evils.

11) A person walks up and asks you, "Why does God allow suffering to continue?"

Nosor answers 'To test us to make sure we do not live in comfort that makes us grow feeble when we may be attacked by evils beyond God's control and to make us think.'

Do not shut down this guild.

As people have said before the number of 'crazy people' should be kept limited and villians should be based on Rp not PVP.

I have managed to retrieve a large quantity of the ores but I finally gave up because that mine and the magma are a death trap! I hope Arbrek is not having the same trouble in the mines of the Holm.

Despite my several brushes with death though I have managed to find a good amount of ore and have finally returned to Kal'Dwain once again! My books and notes as well as my sugar are as I left them and also much has been added to the city although I think I will have to talk to Skippy about that damn lava!

I have managed to get part way out of the mines but have fund myself in a cave where the only exit I can see is blocked by both magma and a slime! Again it seems I will have to mine my way out.

Magma it seems truly hates me ,if such a thing can hate, as whilst mining I broke through a block and was nearly consumed by it and so maybe I think my life may not be as drawn out as I have estimated.

I have found the source of the magma, it seems that Kal'Dwain has imported a large quantity of the liquid which NEARlY killed me! It would have been nice of them to warn me but never mind all the ores that are hidden by the lava are mine now.

Hmm it seems my original plans will have to wait as I seem to be blocked down here in the mines by magma, in hindsight it would have been good to bring my books down here as at least then I would have something to do however it seems my next few days will be devoted to clearing a path to the surface.

I have again taken up the pen, I have done little mining since I last wrote as I have been deep in thought, recently I have received news, the first letter arrived from the Holm it said little other than Arbrek was still in the mines...I hope that he is still alive, his loss would be most damaging although considering he left a will I doubt he himself thought he would return alive.

Another piece of news arrived by messenger and was left by the gate, there is to be a clan meet at Karik in a year or more it seems everyone is thinking forward a long time. The rest of the news is rather irrelevant so I will not record it. Since I have little to do I have decided that I will begin recording events as well as my life and various translations of books which I saved from Aegis which in total number twelve I have already translated some parts of the books and will be recording them in here rather than on the scraps of paper I have transcribed on before now.

((Phew its next sunday.))

Once again I have returned to writing, I did so in my youth once oh I was some much younger then stronger to and more sure of my path but now I do not know and I think maybe I do not wish to know but life no matter if I am lost or not goes on, although much faster for some like the humans with their ever so short lives so long it takes them to mature and then so quick is their decline.

I think that maybe that now I am dying, after all these years but still it will be slow so drawn that out my life will be as I am now even at over three hundred middle aged. Again I will return to my self reflection and what I should do, I could stay in the mines my entire life chiselling at the rock or maybe I could write philosophy and join the monks or maybe a group of scholars..I think though that I will not be satisfied with either for I am not satisfied with my nations place in this new continent, I could not just plainly sit and watch as all the trials of my kin came to nothing but still how would I get into politics as politics is the only way I could change anything, I have little power I am an elder aye but still that gives me little leverage. I think I will write more later but now I must return to mining for I have little else to do.

(( :roll: and I'm a lemon))

The woman stops, and regards the drunken dwarf. She pauses, and reaches into her pocket, pulling out a diary. She flips it open, and tips it forwards. The paper inside disintegrates into dust, and blows into the air.

"Quite long it would seem. Although, how long is exactly what I need to know..."

Startled the Dwarf totters over to a near by stump and sits down.

'Hmm it doesh seem that ye've been gone fer a while, where to begin...where to begin' He announces and stares sombrely at the sun.

'Well I know little details but I can give yer an account that should outline the major happenings though the order may be jumbled, well that old town used to be on the kings road ya know the one in the desert? its name evades me but on with the story that place became an independent state or shomethin' of that sort and thar was also a short war sometime round then which caused the ransacin' of Alras, also der was the blightin' of Alhkazar twas anyhow back ta that independent village well that twas attacked by a group of dwarves after many skirmishes, I was told it was a good fight' The dwarf proclaims stamping his foot and thumping his chest with a brief smile flickering upon his lips.

'And during this time there also a few marriages and tournaments and other shuch like but I will stay with the major events of which I can only think of the final one' He stops and tugs on his beard' the fall of Aegish' He says saddened.

'Many lives where lost and many nations fell...hic but thatsh not all bad thar was an eshpedition tha' went to the nether to retrieve an artifact and from what I heard they managed to retrieve it and sever the link with the infernal nether and after this there was the final battle the temple was destroyed..the refugees fled and we went to our final hope the Verge where we built boats and set out for here Asulon' He stares down at the ground and one single tear drps from his eye he grinds it in to the dirt.

'Shorry It was such a brief explanation of some many events but...I suggest you find someone else these memories they...' He walks back into the inn.

I Nominate Broski Braveaxe ((CaptainRedhead)).

The Dwarf walks outside to the woman.

'I don't care where ye've been' He pauses 'but how long ye've been away would be a good start...hic! scuse me'
