“Jacque de Felsen is a prophet” said Officer Grudgebeard overlooking the burnt city

Officer Grudgebeard tracks down the pamphlet’s author for a discussion and an exchange of stories over tea.

Officer Grudgebeard throws away the Urguanian propaganda wherever he finds it, cringing at the thought of using religion to stir the Dwedmar into violence against a tiny, far-off splinter settlement. In its place he posts a different poster:

Officer Grudgebeard approves of Balrog’s ambition and initiative, and wishes him success.

youll always be a beardling to me

Officer Grudgebeard reads over the pamphlet, observing the Dwarven writing style. The next day, a package arrives in Kal’Varoth, addressed openly to the anonymous author. The package contains a small, strange item: An attached note reads thusly: ”To the esteemed author: You may need this to pick the pubic hair out of your teeth.”

Officer Grudgebeard, now focused on studies as a prelate, ponders the way history will remember those Dwed with whom he once fought. His mind wanders to Fili, and after some thought, he concludes that Fili will be remembered as a particularly fat Dwed of Arcadia who let Urguan ignominiously die in surrender to his better, Verthaik II. He doodles and colors in a rough sketch of the event, based on popular accounts of those present.

Officer Grudgebeard begins recruiting and training an amphibious landing force to storm the Sutican beach. The Ocean-Trained Tactical Elite Raiders, or O.T.T.E.R.'s for short, begin staging mock-invasions in preparation of the main landing:

BY THE HIGH KING REGENT OF KAZ'ULRAH To the Government of Sutica THE HIGH KING REGENT DEMANDS that a transcript of the trial be sent to the council of Kaz'Ulrah within 72 stone hours of this declaration, in response to the maiming of the leader of the Uialben Estate, vassal state of the Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah. Let it be known that a fair warning was declared to the general public when a bounty was placed on Mystery Uialben's head, 10 months prior to this trial: LET IT BE KNOWN that if no such word is received within the aforementioned time, then Kaz'Ulrah will seek decisive measures to restore the honor of the Uialben Estate, in our own way. The transcripts may be sent to myself, High Prelate Nerak Frostbeard, Garrond Frostbeard, High Marshal Dwarger Silvervein, or High Remembrancer Kazrin Starbreaker.

((he just did

looks better with mpm

@Fireheart I should hope that any evidence given by anyone will be shown to the person(s) incriminated therein in order for them to defend themselves, before any verdict is posted

Officer Grudgebeard makes it known to the general populace, in response: "All grievances directed at any of the Uialbens must first pass through the Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah, under High Queen Koralon Onyxheart, in order to dispense proper justice where such is due. Any who do not heed this message and seek their own vigilante justice will be considered enemies of the Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah and her allies."

"if you dont wanna get raided just keep the gates closed lol snowflakes"

Officer Grudgebeard calls over to Fimlin giving his stump speech, "Fimlin, we do not curse Urguan himself, merely those who cling to the glory of the old Grand Kingdom; cursing Urguan was a matter of convenience, as it summed up their group succinctly. We have recently realized the gravity of our past words, and now strive to replace curses against Urguan with curses against Arcadia. As for the Uruks, you may think their proximity has affected a shift in our attitude toward raiding and banditry, but the most egregious cases of both are limited to a handful of individuals, quite small relative to the bulk of our people, who are peaceful. Koralon Onyxheart was the last Grand Queen of old Urguan, yet when she made clear her drive and initiative toward building up Kaz'Ulrah, we did not turn her away; nor have we pushed away bold Dwarger Silvervein, who has made a clear effort of driving his clan's numbers more quickly than his peers, something that would have doubtless been frowned upon in the old Grand Kingdom. You should visit us more often, Fimlin, to see the real Kingdom, rather than what you hear from those who seek to cast us in a false light."

Officer Grudgebeard arranges for a small party of Nottingham residents to visit Kal'Nuram to congratulate Agnar Ireheart on finally becoming a commander in the Legion:
