[You do not have a war claim up on Kal'Anart so I think that's a bit out of the question. Even if we lose at Volvokrem, that doesn't mean we cannot attack and gain your lands, just cause you still have some of ours. Also, I pm'd you the battle plans Uthor. Also, I can't find these rules, can you link me? I'm curious.]

[We are not attacking main areas here, we are attacking seldom used areas with not much activity. That reference of marching on Kal'Anart doesn't make sense. Again I will state, you are in spitting distance of the hold. It only make sense that we would fight you off our lands if you are to build so close to it. We wouldn't have a delayed reaction to this, hence the closeness of the war claims.]

[We are attacking this smaller base, so just region off the larger one on the mountain chain. And I do not believe we have to beast you at Volvokrem to take this place. There is no rule that states that.] [The structure they have built so far is not very large, it wouldn't need several battles for it. The only reason I am making the war claim so close to the Volvokrem one, is the fact it is right up against our borders and is in spitting distance of my hold. Also, the date will remain Sunday at the time listed, 6 PM EST.]

[The only problem is, we have a war claim already set for this Friday. I'm game for having it on Saturday, but I don't want to smack two battles back to back. People need some time to prepare for events like these.]

[Apples have been added, let the conversion turn back to apples.]

[Could we settle at 8 or 9 at night?]

[Well there would really be no point of an evil dwarven god. Think about it, would the other gods allow an evil presence in their midst? He would be cast out of their godly society.]

"Aye ov course, yah are employed by th' Grandaxe Clan." Bazian smiles at the elf.

Conquest: Opposing Faction: The Dwarves of Kal'Anart + allies from the dwarven collilition of Holds Defending Faction: The War Nation + Allies Name of the battle: Buffer zone has been taken Location: must be the specific region/biome you wish to conquer Time, (at least 5 days warning): Friday 8/17 at 6 PM EST Terms: -Anything goes, just no excessively blowing up the lands like in Alras :P Rewards: region/biome swaps ownership In case of dwarven victory, the lands of jugger15 would be transferred to the Grandaxe Clan. Rp: Bazian walks about the top of his hold looking around on the surrounding lands. He looks to his right and smiles, seeing dwarves going about their day to day business. He slowly walks the circumference of the top of his home, looking onto the vast plains surrounding all the other edges of the mountain. To his surprise, Bazian notices something peculiar. He sees a group of orcs moving large stones into particular places just a few stones throws away. "W'at th' feck beh t'is?!" Bazian exclaims to the cool, open mountain air. "Th' greenskins beh buildin' so close ter meh mountain home, ah t'ink not! T'is will not stand!" Bazian calms down, and begins to think about the situation. He sits patiently on his hold, waiting for an opportunity to investigate. The orcs depart from the area because of the lack of building materials. They return to their resource dump for more bricks of stone. Bazian notices this departure of orcs and orders one of his dwarves to go down and investigate. The lad scales down the side of the mountain and walks over to the orcish construction of the area. He stands in the middle of the stones and looks up to Bazian, waving. The lad returns to the hold to relay any information to Bazian. "Ma lord, dere beh much activity down below. Ah culd see th' ground beh pounded down by orcish feet." "Th' orcs t'ink t'ey can build so close ter meh lands durin' wartoimes? T'is beh disrespectful!" Bazian grunts slightly as he looks back at the building grounds. "T'is place will fall quickly, ah will beh sure ov it." He looks back at the lad. "Take t'is message ter 'odor, tell 'im ov th' situation." The dwarven lad nods and quickly departs, going to seek out Hodor Grandaxe. [Poll choices]

[Gungrimm is not evil, just the dark, needed death of life. Kinda like Hades in Greek Mythology.]

Seems the lone dark elf walking through a crowd of dwarves. He is easy to spot seeing how he is much taller than the rest of his kin folk. He approaches the dark elf with a wide smile. "'ey dere, Vayze, 'ow beh t'ins' 'appenin'?"

[Posted in the sub-name of the thread. Btw I'm online :P]

Bazian sits atop his home in the hold, look unto the mountain. He sees small clans organizing, busily building their clan halls. He smiles gently as he remembers the olden days when building the Blackaxe Clan. He sees their dedication to their clans, this pleases him. Bazian calls for his messenger. "Oi, runnin' lad." Bazian declares to the open air. Footsteps running up the stairs of the spire can be heard, closer and closer. "Aye, m'lord!" says the out of breath messenger lad. "Aye, ah 'ave ah task fer yah. Ah want yah ter 'ead ter th' tew udder holds ov Alras 'nd Dwain. Frum dere ah want yah ter relay t'is message." Bazian clears his throat as the young lad gets out a piece of paper for some notes. "Ter all th' rulin' clans ov t'eir respective holds, ah invoite yah ter ah grand feast 'ere in Kal'Anart. T'is will beh ah feast in our 'onour fer clan brut'erhood! Ah also invite all yah clans under yah, t'is means any clan t'at yah decoide ter bring, such as Steelarms er Dawnsworn. Come ter Anart in th' next few weeks." Looks over to his dwarf busily writing down his words. "Yah got dat laddie?" The smaller dwarf nods his head vigorously, still writing everything Bazian said. "Good, also, stop by th' Edge'ands 'nd th' Forkbeard's clan 'ouses 'nd inform t'at t'ey beh also invoited as well." The messenger dwarf continues to nod and write, as he exits the room to deliver the message relayed by the mountain lord.

[Are you back Exo?? :D]

Actually I believe it is the 5th time... Sadly... I don't see why you have to attack our player-base like that, there's no need for it. We couldn't sustain ourselves in that city because of our low numbers and shaky political leadership. I personally didn't want to leave the first time, but when the ball gets rolling, its difficult to stop. I agree as well that we should not move. It's not just our location that has changed, we have changed our main governmental structure many times, enough is enough. We should take things more slowly rather than rushing to go change the next thing or move to the next area. Kal'Anart isn't even two months old, let the RP develop, let the holds flourish. We just got the first deeproad in today, so this should help the flow of RP to the less RP inhabited holds.

[From now on, Luchian is the one going to be accepting apps and placing you guys in the correct positions.]

[if the slave's race is not an orc, then yes there is.]

[Lol, I posted this at 5 am, can't expect everything to be right! Xp] EDIT: [seems like the battle is going to be moved to next Friday rather than Saturday.] Hodor looks at the troops the limp into the mountain home of Kal'Anart. They have been sevearly hurt since the last battle, leaving many dead and woundened. Hodor sighs as he mumbles to himself, "Weh cannae march t'is early..." Walking through the wounded soldiers, Hodor approaches Bazian with this predicament. "Meh lord, weh mus' wait on t'is retakin' on th' lands. Our soldiers foight tirelessly 'nd beh needin' ah bit ov rest 'nd toime fer t'eir wounds to 'eal." Explains Hodor with a worried look upon his face. Bazian looks at Hodor and then to the soldiers. Letting out a deep breath Bazian agrees with Hodor. "Aye t'is beh no way ter foight ah battle, weh will postpone our assult fer anudder month. Ah still want ter see patrols 'round t'at area t'ough! Weh cannae let th' orcs 'ave th' upper 'and." With much releif Hodor responds, "Will beh done meh lord." Hodor heads back to tend to his war beaten army.

[Edited, any other requests? :P]

Conquest Warclaim Conquest is the act of military subjugation of an enemy by force of arms. In other words it is the de jure incorporation of some territory into another geo-political entity (either adjacent or non-contiguous). Usually, it is implied that the territory and population being annexed is the smaller, more peripheral, and weaker of the two merging entities, barring physical size. Opposing Faction: The Empire of Urguan and Allies Defending Faction: The War Uzg and Allies Name of the battle: Battle for Volvokrem Location: Volvokrem Time(atleast 5 days warning.): Saturday, August 11th, 6pm EST Terms: - No enchanted weapons, except for power 1 bows. - No potions. Rewards: - In the case of a victory for the Dwarves, region ownership will be given to the Grandaxe Clan. - All loot and chests are property of the Dwarves, as well as any riches or resources in the region. Will be distributed among the holds. RP: The fields of Kal'Alras lay in ruin, as the battle the day before took it's toll on the dwarves of Urguan. The honor pact has been broken, once again, by the orcs, as they brought humans and elves to the battle. "No moar ov t'is 'onour pact..." grumbles Bazian as he walks the field of fallen comrades and enemies. "T'ese orcs can nay beh trusted no moar, th' war rages on." The dwarves regroup there forces and head back to their various holds. Much weighs on Bazian's mind as he sits in his home at Kal'Anart, thinking of what the next move should be. After much sitting, Bazian calls for his messenger. "Oi, runnin' lad, ah need yah ter prepare fer ah journeh." "Aye meh lord!" responds the eager messenger. Bazian heads to his desk and begins to write a notice calling the dwarven lords to a meeting. He hands the not to the messenger and tells him to go to all the major holds; Kal'Dwain, Kal'Alras, and Kal'Mugdor. The small running dwarf nods and departs through the southern gate. [RP for the meeting in this thread.] http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/65177-the-council-of-the-dwarven-kings-meet/ A few days past, the dwarven lords come together at the council room in Mount Ire. They devise a plan on the next course of action for the war. "So t'en, weh are all in agreement, aye?" Kjell asks the group of dwarves. "Aye meh paragon, Volvokrem mus' beh out next course ov action." Bazian explains. "Weh mus' reclaim our lands!" Gulroid agrees as he has just reclaimed his lands. The dwarves begin to mobilize, scouting around the orc camp that was erected near the ruins of Volvokrem. A few dwarves travel to the area with supplies as to setup a camp nearby, making sure no sorts of defenses are built by the orcs. Hodor oversees this operation, periodicity sending messages to Bazian, to keep him informed.

[i don't think it's really necessary for a clan to have a line down from Urguan as in a family tree. Some of the less known clans didn't keep record of such things as most families in real life didn't keep track of the family line unless you where a noble. It seems like all the previous clans till now made themselves as nobles. We are now seeing a shift where instead of having like 3 main clans, we still have 3 main clans and a bunch of lesser clans. Makes for good RP and helps in the fact that smaller families can be more easily managed.]

[Thanks man, I hafta say though, Dwain looked amazing in the time that you where there.]

[Damn you west coastians! Xp]
