((FIRST OFF, I posted that a full month ago, Battleme. Secondly, this form of Runesmithing was INVENTED by me, or at least introduced into the Server by me, and the form Tyrion teaches is a different kind of Runesmithing that Kjell based of my own while I was gone, so I do in fact decide who learns this form of Runesmithing. Next, you know ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING about how I brought Arbrek back, and if he has been approved or is breaking lore, so shut up about it already. Lastly, Runelord has ALWAYS been a rank, and has just now become an official title in the Smith's Guild.))

(( lol first off, you mad bro? Second, why do you think everyone is talking crap about your char? It's because its such a shitty half-assed RP because you wanted to come back after quitting. Lagomorphia went around TS asking everyone what they thought of your Golum RP because he was the original and I don't think you will like the results and what they are going to do about it.))

((Indeed, if you want to learn it you gave to have 100 smithing, be in the Guild, and Arbrek has to like you.))

(( Rune smithing is headed by Tyrions new char...decision about who can learn it is not up to you lol. You killed off your character then when Charles and Tyrion came up with it came back as a non-rp Golum that remembers and can talk and you made yourself Runelord which wasn't even a rank ))

(( fight between you and CPUeasy nau!))

OOC: My comuter has bugged out and i wont be on for a while, ill probably still be active in the forums but until it's fixed, no server for me. And ignore the 1/2 sappy note, except Gimrik, so haha!

*You see a black raven drop a small scrap of paper into Gimriks hand*

Gimrik,

I will be away for a while, I must continue with my current studies and regret to leave you yet again.

Once i have returned i will follow you to Mount Ire.

I send my wishes,

-Mora

((Aww sadface))

*Gimrik catches the letter and reads it quickly in the midst of the still-under-construction city*

* Gimrik sniffs a few times before stuffing the note in his pocket and walking off *

Okay...Well would you please tell how you are related ( Adopted by someone who agrees, lost relative etc ). Also give more detail in the bio please, when that is done find me or another Braveaxe in RP and talk to us.

Aye, ah remebah back when they first got started! Gud times. Sometimes though ah wish fer someone like Thorik to return and knock some sense into his old clan

Thats a bold statement coming from a clan deserter himself...you can't be in two clans Mili leaving the Ironguts makes you a deserter to that clan.

((This is going off the decided RP, a Dwarf who abandons the city and nation is to be thought of as lower than dirt but you are all embracing it lol ))

((i like it but i just hate it that i cant be part of this :( ))

Why not?

((Honestly clans exist in Dwarven culture regardless of whether they exist as part of what is considered 'the Dwarven nation.' I strongly disagree with how this was presented. I see no legitimate reason to 'prove or disprove a clans existence' based upon the votes of few people. You might be disqualifying months of legitimate RP. You are basically forcing people to say they disbanded even if they don't want to. If a group of Dwarves joined together and wrote up a lore and history about their family they should be clan, regardless of whether or not they are a part of the Dwarven nation. Or are Dwarves that are not from a Dwarven town not Dwarves anymore?))

(( There was an ALL Dwarves meeting you did not attend and we voted. You don't have to like it, it is what it is, any Dwarf who does not serve the nation is thought of the lowest of the low and is basically spit upon in the dwarf nation, this is what we as a race voted on and that is how it is going to be, if you arn't going to be at the Kingdom then why would you even post?))

Good to finally get this finished. I will make a post expanding on clans and what they do after school today.()

((Sounds good, I just wrote this whole thing myself after I got home and didn't remember everything from our 2 hour meeting last night lol))

The Council is one of the most stereotypical things associated with Dwarven culture and therefore deserves a lot of attention. The Council will be composed of the King, the heads of the three noble clans, and the head of the three main guilds which are the Mining, Smithing, and Architectural. Each vote from a Councilman is worth 1 while the King’s vote is worth 2. They will vote on anything and everything that deals with the Dwarven Nation. The Doyen ( Name is up for debate) are the King’s personally selected ‘advisors’ that he will consult and they will influence his decision and the Council’s. They are selected by the King and serve indefinitely unless the King fires them himself.

Clans in the Dwarven nation obviously play a big role so we are focusing a lot of our attention in improving the role they play and the RP they can bring. To start off, there are going to be 2 types of clans, Noble and Common. Noble clans are any of the three clans that would be in power within the government and have representatives at the Council. Common would be any other clan. Commoner clans can become Noble however by overthrowing any of the three current Noble clans. To do this there are a few rules however, one, you must make an official declaration that you are trying to overthrow them, two you have to overthrow them in the time allotted (one week), and three you must meet all three criteria of overthrowing another clan. Clan halls are not allowed to have housing for members, only showcase their achievements and history and act as a meeting area.

The three requirements that come with overthrowing another clan are:

-Show your Clan is prosperous by gathering and depositing 30,000 minas into the Kingdom's treasury as a sign that your Clan is wealthy and are willing to make sacrifices to the Kingdom

(If the other clan deposits more you MUST cover the difference that THEY deposit)

-Defeat the opposing Clan’s leader in battle

-Get a ¾ approval by the Council

The Legion has been in a, for lack of a better term, ‘shitstorm’ lately as i’m sure many of you already know. There have been attempts at reforms and organisation but there has not been much, if any, success. The system we have come up with would be headed by Kjell but ran and overseen by the Lord Marshal who would be in charge of training, organising, and paying the legion’s wages. The ranks would be similar, a Longbeard which would report to the Lord Marshal and oversee his battalion composed of Ironbreakers (Veterans) and Warriors (Recruits/unproven soldiers). The Legion would also be tasked with being the normal city guards and would be paid per IRL hour of work ( Pay also depends on rank) which can be gate guarding/greeting, mob killing, ect.

The Royal Guard will be completely independent from the Legion and have its own head. These would be the most elite of the elite and be Kjell’s personal bodyguard and policing force. They have other ‘tasks’ which we are not going to be discussing at the moment. They are given the best armor and weapons the Kingdom has to offer and can be scouted by the Head of the Royal Guard but must be approved by Kjell. They must be willing to give their lives for the Kingdom and Kjell. Some of the tasks will require them to put their own morals/feeling aside to follow orders. *Villain applications are recommended for this position but not required*

Guild applications will be put up on the forums if you have an idea for a guild and you have enough support they can be added. The main guilds in the Dwarven Nation are the Mining, Smithing, Lumberjacking, Farming/Agriculture, and Architecture however only Mining, Smithing and Architectural heads are on the Council. Guild’s are ran by a guild leader or ‘head’ of the guild in our nation and they can propose ideas for expeditions, expansions, or just anything that can better the Kingdom in general. They will receive guild halls in the Kingdom which can be used to showcase their history and achievements for the Kingdom as well as a meeting area for members however they will NOT ACT AS HOUSING for the guild members or even the head. Guild leader can be overthrown by a member of the guild if they have a valid reason and either beat them in a duel or get a unanimous vote from the other guild members.

Housing will be separated into three different classes, poor district housing, given out for free to any Dwarf, MUST use public storage and are not allowed private storage in their homes. Middle Class which will have a stand alone house that they are allowed to decorate and furnish how they please without expanding or altering the outside. Then the noble/rich housing which are relatively large homes which you are allowed to furnish/decorate how you wish without altering the outside. Middle and rich housing are allowed private storage inside their houses but the houses will cost Minas.

(( Probably more to come did this off of memory =) and covered the just of it so you all can get a better understanding of what is to come, city is under construction and coming along nicely as well. Thanks for reading ))

We are gonna cut down on teh number o' clans to further unify our race and ease the burden of communication between them. If you are a clan you MUST prove at least five generations of clan members to continue to be recognized by teh Dwarven government. The Braveaxes, Blackaxes, and Ironguts are exempt from this as they have many more than five generations of members. Sign yer' clan's name and your generations of members below and we will read through and approve or disapprove of your Clan's existence.

(( List name and AT LEAST 5 MEMBERS, living or not living, it does not matter, as long as you prove 5 members of heritage then you may continue as a Clan in the Dwarves.))

We have come to an agreement-----We will come only to fight the Orcs ((2:45PM EST Sunday 4/15/12)) We will be there to aid them against the green skins! ((PS We ARE fighting as the Dwarven Nation not commando people))

((This is a charter, NOT a debate or discussion so please remove these statements that you have put down. There is only space for NAMES))

(( I signed nothing therefore you still have all of your room, this is an RP post, I RP'd on it.))

*Shakes his head*

We Dwarves 'ave our own problems to worry about, and Salvus sent us only 4 soldiers last time dey sent 'aid'. Kjell took power since Stronghold had a breakdown in the meeting and he dun' want us getting ourselves in a war with 5 other nations besides Orcs. You say we would be disguised but all it will take is one slip-up or death of our men for the truth to be revealed where these Dwarven warriors came from. Kjell does not wish for us to go into a pointless battle, two nations versus six is not gud' odds especially if we are not being given ANYTHING fer our services, and if it gets out wh'os 'elpin the blame lies with you...'n with Kjell's new regime I think there will be a good number of executions rather soon in the Kingdom.

Agreed.

TS trolling is terrible. When Stronghold was still vying for king I suggested to him to have moderators watch over the TS chat for trolling and metagaming.

We've been relying on TS for FAR too much RP and it's terrible. Most other good rp kingdoms barely use it, and I've spent time in a variety of other kingdoms and nations and the ones which rely on OOC communication the least, have had the best RP by far.

The IC-trolling is bad too with random punching and poor RP. Just because we are all buddy-buddy doesn't give an excuse for bad or trolly RP IG

It's getting ridiculous and I know we can have good RP once if we just cut down this behavior.

Dont pull a broski and shut down TS that was garbage

If this is serious, which coming from Hiebe i'm assuming it is, I will be there as well, hopefully it accomplishes something though-Gimrik Braveaxe

Gee, yah know, this post looks familiar >.<

[Why is this ooc....shouldn't choosing kingship be made in rp...?]

-_- its going to but they are both good IC candidates so we are allowing an ooc vote to make it easier

U VOTE STRONGHOLD NAU!

Voting is over

Results-tallied in the presence of both candidates and both acknowledged the votes as fair!

REMEMBER THE OFFICIAL VOTES ARE FROM ACTIVE DWARVES ONLY!

MC Name:-Battleme33

RP Name:-Gimrik_Braveaxe

Who do you wish to be King?:-Stronghold or Shiinchan

Why do you wish him to be King?:-Stronghold is a very old and experienced Dwarf when it comes to government work and I think he would do a very good job. I think Shiin would be good because, like Stronghold they both take advice very well and listen to others opinions which is not what is going on right now, whoever becomes King I think we NEED to bring the council back because the people are ignored otherwise and nothing gets decided on. It also provides more jobs for citizens.

What are you connections to him?:-Stronghold-Cousins in game, Shiin-acquaintances in game

(in all seriousness you should move into Kal' Dwain and make that the capital. Darius has done great work there.)

((I am not a fan of the Cubbies either but I doubt Darius would give up his town to another person lol))

I support, sorry Broski you are my brother and you were a good King but it is time to pass the throne down. Get on the council with the other old Dwarves and we can still influence the Kingdom's decisions. We know how the Kingdom has run befer' and we can help out the new King and make the Kingdom better. This is fer' teh best.

* signs his name on a piece of parchment being passed around *

Gimrik Braveaxe

I give the ones who request talk power, just relax about it. I am deciding but -most likely- I will stop it. (-most likely-)

Why would we relax? It is our right to communicate with our fellow Dwarves openly about what ever subject we want. What you are doing is restricting that greatly and unfairly, if you truly wanted to see everyone's opinions on it you would have made a pole, instead you go off of a few who support basically whatever you say and ignore the majority. If you think we are pissed you would be right this is completely ridiculous. You see how no other nation tampers with TS its because they arn't dumb enough to do so....the fact that you did is astounding to me, I know meta is bad but that doesn't mean you get rid of TS, the pros of TS greatly outweigh the cons but you are choosing to ignore this. What you did is like saying...lets say two IRL nations trading, of course there is some smuggling or illegal items going through but they don't just shut down their trading relations because of it. See what I am getting at here?
