Here is Gimrik's handy dandy tip for newbies

"Aye" is not a greeting (Rorek_Stonesmith -_-)

WHOO DWARVEN VICTORY BUT IT CAME AT A TERRRRRIBLE COST ='(

( if you are part of Alras at least )

ALRAS HAS BEEN RENOVATED BY A TEAM OF ORCS AND DWARVES SO GOLDHANDS I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY YOUR DAMN FARMS ARE BACK NOW YOU CAN MAKE US SOME DAMN BREAD >=O

A fabulous new windmill

THE REPAIR BILL GOES TO THE GOLDHANDS

*Pulls off his Kal'Anart colored undies, sticks them on a stick, and goes streaking through the street waving them as a flag*

"Whoo!"

((^Troll post ^))

* claps his hands in support of Bazian *

((^Real Post^))

Gorum shouts at Gimrik as he walks off

" AFTA!? DU YE 'AVE NU SENSE OV TIME!? I be a feckin' Fros'beard and me and me brotha Moruk tuuk Alras frum Aislin! WE the -FROSTBEARDS- gave th' deed ov Alras tu th' former king Kjell! We came back years befur Alras fell, years! Ye dare call me a coward when ah stand and fight, der wus neva a time where I backed down fer a fight! Neva a single time! "

* Gimrik hears nothing from Gorums soft womanly voice as he walks away *

" Traitorous? Bah, at least we dunnae kill in cold blood! Dat is dis'onorable! We didnae abandon th' dwarves! And last ah checked alras was TAKEN by FROSTBEARDS. We conqured Alras fer ye and ye still spit at deir name! Learn whut a traitor means! "

* bursts out laughing *

Ter' Frostbeards were cowardly folk not fit to bear the title 'Dwarf!' They complained and complained and did nuff'in and when the goin' got tough the left because they are weak! only after the Dwarven Nation conquered Alras with their own might did the Frostbeards come crawling back. Just the thought of how dishonorable and weak they are makes me sick tuh' me own gut."

* Walks away leaving Gorum no time to respond smiling as he thinks about how entertaining the first Hold Tournament is going to be *

Gorum walks away from the crowd, shaking his head as he does so.

It's like the days ov th' fros'beards all over again... ah guess things cannae remain guud fer tuu long.

Gimrik doesn't catch most of what Gorum says but does hear 'Frostbeards.'

"NEVER bring up those traitorous dogs again! They are honor-less traitors who abandoned the Dwarves to join Alras! Do not bring them up in our nation again!"

Ironfists, Grandaxes, smaller clans and clanless alike stand before the iron doors as Kjell, Hiebe, Bazian, Hodor, Gimrik and Kilgrim enter the small room and shut the huge doors with a thud. Dwarves who are still outside cram their ears to the doors trying to hear any of the muffled voices coming from inside.

"'ave we come to an agreement 'den lads?"

"Aye, dis is fer' tuh best. It'll 'opefully bring new opportunities and make us stronger long term."

"Oi' believe 'dis settles it 'den. Does ever'un agree?"

Nods and 'Ayes' ring out from the group of Dwarves

The Iron Doors swing open with great force and knock some of the more nosey Dwarves on their rumps

"We 'ave spoken wif' ever'un we needed tuh' and we 'ave come to ter' conclusion dat fer' our great Nation to run more smoof'ly we will be divided intuh a series of 'olds!"

Mixed reactions ring out from the croud, some cheerful and others in anger about how this will effect them

"Kjell is going tuh' start 'is own 'old and strengthin' 'is waining bloodline!"

"If ye' live in Mugdor or Ire please choose one o' ter' existin' 'olds and move der! Housin IS available!

Kal'Mugdor is going to be used as a cultural capital where we will 'old tournaments between the holds in different events and 'ave meetins between 'old leaders and members! "

The crowd looks slightly confused as all this is a lot to take in all at once

"Talk tuh Kjell about where 'is 'old is goin tuh' be and about joinin' if yer' interested otherwise Kal'Anart and Dwain are takin in new members as well!"

"Remember we are still one nation! We fight and converse togeth'r! If you see a fellow 'old in trouble or a 'oldmember in need you are still obliged to help them as they are your Kin! We showed our strength at tuh' Battle of Kal'Alras and we will be even stronger now wif' dese' new changes!"

One of the Dwarves in the crowd shouts "But what of ter' Goldhands!?!"

"They still reside at Kal'Alras and will continue to stay there! We 'ave tuh talk to dem' about if dey' want to merge wif' a 'old or if dey 'fink dey can remain their own! The decision is more or less up to them. The Kingdom's treasury, hefty as it is, 'as been moved and split 'tree ways between the official 'olds giving each a sizable chunk to help them prosper! This is how it will be from now on so contact yer' respective 'old leaders for more information and if ye' dun' 'ave a hold tuh call yer' 'ome join 'un soon and we will begin to show 'ow mighty we Dwarves can truly be!"

(( We went through with this decision and wanted to get an RP post up ASAP so that the RP of this can be taken into effect for the holds ))

ENLARGE TO VIEW THE TEXT ON THE PICTURE AS IT IS HARD TO READ UNLESS RESIZED!

^^^^^^LIKE I SAID IN THE TEXT IN THE PICTURE THAT IS AN EXAMPLE AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!^^^^^^

Being a Loyal Elf to the Dwarf Kingdom, am I allowed to vote for this?

Sure but we talked with Kjell and it has already been decided

What about an option where each city runs itself but has to meet with an elected king every once in a while?

We don't have the player-base to support that idea =/ The King would have no people living in his town because Anart and Dwain take up like 80-90% of the population lol.

((Could you give a bit more information about what each choice entails for the nation? I don't want to make a bad decision because I didn't know something))

Hopefully that cleared some of it up for you.

This is a serious question please vote using your honest opinion. This really could change the way the Dwarves function.

The first choice just means if you would rather be ran by one King who has the most if not all say in what the Kingdom does and have very few (like 2 or less) if not just one city where everyone lives as opposed to the second which would be having multiple cities that each run themselves ( like Dwain and Anart ) and are independent and are not governed by a different power. Each hold runs themselves and makes their own laws and economy etc. They are still one nation however in times of war and will fight as one in battles and aid each other in defense.

And just so no one thinks this, NO this is not like I am making this because I don't like the way things are going and I am trying to be biased to one side or the other. Ideas are being tossed around and I just want to see what EVERYONE thinks about what THEY would like to see.

Good job :D Only thing is you misspelled dam in your first post...lol...

fixed lol, must be because I have never had to type "dam" this much before in my life lol

In honor of those who died building it. Their.bodies will be use well.

and there were a lot of them *facepalms thinking of cobbler and the TNT*

-Was unaware they had industrial-sized Dams in this era-

Then you need to keep up with the implemented lores and ideas, they will keep you aware.

We made A LOT of progress today guys! The dam looks awesome and the internal structures are coming along amazing! The only thing we need now is a solid design for the outside of it although it is not too bad right now. At this rate it will not take long to finish so lets keep up this pace!

ALMIGHTY EDIT:

This is the new front of the dam, it's looking better and we will keep improving.

* As you pass through the local tavern you can't help but notice a painting of the beautiful Dwarven City *

* Being nosey Gimrik unpins the note and reads it to himself *

Why would we 'ave sum'un make us a Golum when we are the lads who created the creatures in Aegis. Also 'ow did 'dis 'tupid lad make a Golum when he doesn't know 'ow tuh an' doesn't 'ave tuh anvil in tuh first place? 'e is bargaining for tuh use o' tuh anvil so 'e obviously does nae 'ave it suh 'ow did 'e make a Golum? Doesn't make sense dat' right 'der no it does not not 'un bit. 'an wuts dis business o' shades?!? Tryin tuh threaten 'us will duh dis lad no g'ud. I wanna see dis lad's shade wif' an axe t'rough its noggin. Dis lad's Golum, if 'e even 'as 'un is probably tuh tiniest litt'l ting yer' ever dun did saw.

* smiles as he thinks about it " proll'y make a cute litt'l pet'er sumfin har har. Nae bigg'r den a wee child's toy pickaxe." *

* Scratches his beard and rubs his swollen foot before Almora see's him out walkin around and drags him back home to rest his toe *

*Gets dragged away by Almora in screams*

(( WHOO 1 bar of internet connection hopefully this goes through and I will be back tomorrow so I will see you soon if you guys even get this. Bye. ))

OOOH OOOH I KNOW WHAT THE SECRET IS AND IT IS KEWL!

* as Gimrik walks along he stubs his toe on the most dastardly of pebbles *

" *** **** stupid ****ing Greenskin lov'n ***** " He shouts as he holds his toe.

* As he limps to Almora she yells at him about his dangerous antics and makes him stay in bed until his toe is all better *

(( Going camping so I will be gone from Friday 7/13/12 to Monday Afternoon 7/16/12

Skath don't ruin the dam while I am gone pl0x ))

poor quality but I couldn't hold my cell phone steady at 3 AM >=O

PS: Small desk so it is a balancing act getting everything to stay on it and no fist pounding rage allowed =p, getting a new desk soon though huzzah!

I was the longest lasting Officer in the Guard before I stepped down. I was the Military Highlord in which I raised the Military to the largest it has ever been in Dwarven History from scratch. I became Grand Councillor of War and stayed as that rank until my father Thorik passed away and I took the throne with my brother (Broski) and Bazian and I became King of War. I built parts of the Dwarven Barracks and Military District in both Kal'Urguan and Karik. I have done basically nothing but war sense my character's creation and it's what I am good at. http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/29925-kal-urguan-legion-army/ <---My Military Reforms I instated as Military Highlord, 100% my own and my ideas that I came up with at the time showing how I ran things back then.

* Gimrik finds one of the notes crumpled up on the side of the road, after reading it he chuckles *

"They're noble all right...."

*Gimrik tosses the note off to the side near where he found it and steps on it as he walks off*
