Ogdan

Being alone is debilitating. But being comfortable alone for periods of time isn’t a skill everyone has. Finding the balance of a social life is key. Just gotta put yourself out there sometimes and it’s scary and it can suck. But you’re right, being alone makes for a hard time finding happiness. Hope your day goes well from here.

Ogdan would hear the news of the Silvervein’s return and grumbles lowly, “I ‘ope d’ese new generation uv’ silvahveins arenae loike da’ ones ah knew.”

A tired Ogdan reads the letter and a frown forms on his face, “I ‘ave nae been ‘round fer such reforms d’at strayed us from d’is path. Howevah d’ese words speak da truth. I ‘ave nae known our religion aneh othah way.” he grunts and walks off shaking his head in disapproval of the current clergy.

Viktor scrambles around to get things ready in the tavern. “I’ve even hired a bard for the opening tonight!”

Ogdan wanders upon the track and is utterly impressed. A large smile forms on his face. "Good t' see engineers out t' good use"

Ogdan catches wind of the news and stares blankly at the note. "I see now see why ye' kept your Anvilaxe name d'is whole time." he says to himself. He crumples up the paper and tosses it aside.

Ogdan strokes his beard sliding his golden beard tie up and down in thought, "This lad is da 'bane uv' dwed'" he chuckles to himself and continues writing in his books. "Nothin' pains me more t' see such a lost and misguided dwed. Perhaps one day he'll find a shoulder t' cry on." he shakes his head, silencing his laughter to put on a stern, serious face.

Ogdan would clear his throat as the dwed trickle in and take their seats. A stern but proud look on his face. He looks down at a paper before stuffing it into his pocket and rising. Ogdan clears his throat, closing his eyes before speaking. "First off I want to apologize for my leave. I know it was sudden but it was necessareh. Fer me to be able to come here t’day I needed a small leave of absence. I willnae dwell on d’at for I have called you all here for another reason." "I want to offer a reform in da’ ways of da old and da new. I want to restore the Goldhand name t’ not only to be the best merchants in all uv’ Atlas, but a force t’ be reckoned wiff." "We need to reform from our old an’ stale ways. We need to adjust and adapt much like the world around us is. We need to breathe life back into this glorious clan." "As I look amongst ye’ I see dwed are who bear da Goldhand name. But why? I want ye to ask yourself, what do I bring to the clan? Without family we are nothing. This goes without saying but Goldhands always have each other’s backs. We are not only loyal to Kaz’Ulrah, but our own kin aswell." "I want t’ speak about my goal as soon as I took da Goldhand name upon m’self. I seeked to put our name down in historeh forever as one of the greates’ clans to ever walk the halls uv’ dwed. " "The Frostbeards, sturdy warriors and founders uv’ this foine kingdom. Stormbreakers, great engineers and dwed uv’ the sea. Longmanes, fierce and rowdy warriors. Blackaxes with their long history and now honor bound mercenaries. But where does this leave the Goldhands?" "We are Merchants at our core. I have had trouble with this for a while as how can we just have a clan full of Merchants. Dat’s when I realized dat merchant is too narrow. We are not just limited to buying and selling, aye its in our blood but it does not mean it defines us. Without hunters, lumberjacks, blacksmiths, miners, warriors, farmers, and adventurers we would be restricting ourselves to a limited way of thinking." "I want to redefine the way our clan is thought of, we will always be merchants. But we are more than just merchants. We are adventurers, warriors, crafters and most importantleh, dwed of honor and loyalty." "My goal is to restore this clan and I cannae do that on me own. I need each and every un’ uv’ ye to pickup your tools, travel, make relationships, build shops, master your craft, and help this clan I hold so dear, prosper. Help your kin if he has no food give him some of yours. If has nae tools, offer him some equipment. We are not all about profit y'see we are about somethin' more. Gold is material, friends and family are what bonds us all together though. Sure ye' can be the richest swindler, but at the end uv' the day who will say I have that mans back? I need brothers and sisters that I can call upon when I need them." "I have sent tasks that need doin’ to each of you. Feel free to pick any listed and let me know which you are going to try your hand at." "Now, if ye’ follow me I can assure ye’ that we will succeed. Each an’ evereh un’ uv ye’will be apart uv’ Kaz’Ulrah historeh. Togethah, we can restore the Goldhand name an’ have our name be heard from one end uv’ Atlas to da other." "When we enter Khaz’A’Dentrumm we will be welcomed with open arms and mugs raised high." "With d’at bein said. I hope you see my intentions to be true an’ whole hearted. I love d’is clan to its core an’ wish nothin’ else but t’ see et thrive." "Narvak oz Goldhand!" With that, Ogdan would sit down and recline in his chair, looking about the clan hall a slight smile escapes his lips.

Ogdan would grit his teeth as he hears the news sipping his ale in the tavern. "A lad tooken too feckin' earleh. I hope he feasts well in Khaz'a'Dentrumm. Narvak oz Barradin.." he would state slowly. Ogdan slowly bringing his glass to his lips as he chugs the remaining contents and slams the mug on the table in the very corner of the tavern. Giving a blank stare about the room before standing up slowly and walking out seemingly disoriented.

I, Ogdan Goldhand, former Grand Merchant took leave in a time of need of this Kingdom. I am not ashamed to say it was for the better of myself. I needed refocus, but I am not the only thing that needs refocus. That is the reason I am calling this meeting. Our roots are, as we know it, merchants who sell goods and hock wares. However that is not all true.Without gatherers and crafters we would have nothing to sell. Without men of arms we would be an easy target for our riches. We are Goldhand. I am calling this meeting to every able bodied Goldhand to meet me in the Clan Hall in three stone days. I do not have authority anymore, however I do hope you find it in your hearts to honor your clansmen in this meeting.
