Nir Daram Urguan 17th of the Amber Cold 1598 Drafted by his grand majesty Bastion Ireheart, scribed by his privy. His Princeship Artyom Ruric, axeman chieftan; It is with arduous upset that the Grand Kingdom of Urguan is forced to retort to such sinister and malevolent blackmail. To deliver an ultimatum - the threat of bearing arms against the dwarven people amidst a treaty - is the truest form of aggression; an evident harbinger of a bloodseeking ruler. The utter hypocrisy of accusing Urguan of aggression, whilst threatening blunt war as a resolve, is laughable in the eyes of my privy and I. Such impetuous foreign policy will offer your people the same fate of the Empire; do not think for a moment we fear your empty threats of war. The Grand Kingdom of Urguan did not sanction any attack on your Prince, it can not be held accountable for the actions of all dwed. If Urguan held Norland accountable for the misdeeds of all human brigands then this short lived peace would no doubt have failed long ago. The Grand Kingdom of Urguan can see with the utmost clarity, this ultimatum was not made to resolve, but to provoke. Such weak foreign diplomacy is a stain on your administration, how can any nation approach your government with the optimism to improve relations when you have show such abrasive and brash policies. Not two stone days earlier, a citizen of Urguan was slain in the muddy underbelly of your capital by Norlandic officials. Both our witnesses were reliably informed; a member of our navy having witnessed the depravities; a Rurik levy man also came to us, confessing his witnessing of the murder. A dwed slain by crossbolt in the Krag, what would warrant such an execution? The eating of public rations within the city it would seem. Understandably outraged by this heinous injustice, but fuelled by our desire for an enduring peace, we consulted with your Princeship - offering threats of war was unconstructive in the eyes of our conglomerate. Do not think for a moment that your claims of unawareness fooled our people. We would not war over probable cause, but it seems our trust in your dynasty was once again misplaced. I am insulted that we are accused of oath breaking - our honor questioned - when the Ruric lords are guilty of the same allegation they accuse us of. Yet the key contrast being that whatever rogue dwarf set his sights on killing you, had no sanctioning by the Grand Kingdom of Urguan to do so. Our kin was butchered by royal order; we were lied to by the Prince - another crippling scar on the honor of your governing in our eyes. When the Princedom of Norland infringed on the provisions of our treaty, we approached the issue with resolve and an angling for settlement. Why do you offer us insult through weakened attacks of public slander rather than working towards the same end? Similarly, when faced with the same instigations by Turkin sword, Urguan found resolution through just diplomacy - Norland called crusade upon them, obviously enthralled by the prospect of cutting throats. When dwarves speak of honor, it is not some word thrown around to justify the acts of our people, it is the pillar on which our society stands. To question our honor through these allegations is an affront of the foremost severity, we hold our honor in high esteem and looks harshly on those who disavow their own. Lest we forget the treaty breaking Avarians of the eighteen years war. We were kind to erase this from the book of grudges, and far more generous to allow Norland to live peacefully out of reach from the punishment of the Empire - the beast of which they remained steadfast in defending until it no longer suited them. Even after Norland slayed our own Grand King, our pursuit of peace outweighed our desire for revenge. Urguan’s weariness is no longer strained by war, and we are prepared to deliver due justice if it is what his Princeship truly wishes. Your nation finds pleasure in jumping from loyalty to liege, like a locust searching for crops to destroy. We are not surprised by this turbulent behaviour, it should have been within our foresight to predict this happening. In future, our grudge would not be buried so soon, our mercy and kindness would not be seen by the Norland axemen. Ungrateful soldiers of the grasslands, remember those who saved you from demise for they will not forgive you a second time. I am a dwarf of my word - of my honor, I am prepared to pay for the acts of this rogue dwarf as a representative of all dwarf kind, but I will not be considered a conspirator. Likewise, I expect Norland to account for the acts of their Prince and soldiery, we wish for the treaty to be upheld and the concessions paid by his Prince, taking responsibility through public apology. Finally, remove your head from your arses. Norland is not as strong as it blindly believes so; it would serve you well to understand that no one is afraid of your idle threats, least of all us. I urge you as a competent ruler and I hope not an idiot, to speak with me personally in future. Diplomacy is more effective that way. If you wish to declare war then by all means, throw your band of merry peasants towards us. But we will not concede to such blistering injustice, ardent warmongering, or impulsive aggression. I hope this meets you in good health, Grand King Bastion Ireheart. ((Thanks to Kipples for writing this up for me))

I've got 200+ hours and still no access to a shop

I'm quite confused on the server's situation on shops, I don't wish to stir the pot with the recent blacklist due to the EULA infringements, however I believe this needs to be addressed. Shops are a vital part of the server as actually roleplaying selling is quite difficult. Currently only donators have the ability to make shops, yet there was news of non-donators being able to make 1 shop, however upon asking Kowaman I was told it was not a thing, however after looking at the (recently updated) donator page, it clearly states non-donators have the ability to create 1 shop. I understand that it could be a mistake, or that non-donators just haven't been given access to the shop plugin yet. But if there are no plans to allow non-donators have 1 shop, I believe it is quite unfair, shops are vital to making money in the server and I think non-donators being able to create 1 would balance things as it does give a big advantage to donators.

So let's say the Dwarves where to like genocide the Orcs, we win the war and force them to surrender. In like a months time after that, the Orcs can't use the fact that we genocided them as a reason to go to war with us?

lol who tf are you stfu haha

I will actually give you 5 dollars if you draw my character

@Croleo676 when i was lord back in 2013 i wanted to help onslaughted, chikaea and vekrus take over oren cos i hated oren cos they kept calling us midgets, half the lords didnt wanna go to war and the other half did so the decision was left to spuller, our king at the time, he was hesitant and i convinced him if i beat him at a game of card-jitsu on club penguin we'd go to war, in the end i won by 1 card, a tight game, and we went to war with oren where i would go on to earn my name as the butcher of kralta due to my killing of half the orenian soldiers alone throughout the entire war. edit: i also would kill adam and nathan barnett all the time, like probably every day, especially nathan. i also got nathan banned for metagaming, which is why both of them hate the dwarves and me especially :) edit 2: ive heard rumours that this face still gives nathan nightmares to this day, 3-4 years on

How will you go about assisting new players?: I think the best way to help new players is to integrate them into our community, being the GK of the Dwarves I come across it a lot with helping new players, so I would definitely be up for the task. More then anything new players need to feel like they have a sense of belonging amongst the playerbase, and thus I will mostly focus on that.

The Kingsguard “The sinews of the Grand King lie within his guard.” -Wulfgar Grandaxe Every ruler must surround himself with those he trusts unconditionally, dwed of which loyalty and valor ever remains their defining characteristic. The Grand King’s cohort; the regal guard - are hand picked by his majesty to serve and protect him throughout his reign. Through their vows, these dwed are sworn on their honor to keep him from the face of harm and ensure his reign endures. Whilst it is a duty, it is also an honor to serve his majesty as a personal guard. One must earn their place to stand beside his grace at the foot of the obsidian throne. To serve and protect the interests of the Grand King, ensuring his safety always. To accompany the Grand King on all excursions from the palace, assessing the safety of each situation accordingly. To ensure the Grand King is well equipped and aided in battles or skirmishes. To offer their lives as tribute in protection of the Grand King. Incumbent Kingsguards Captain Onar Ireheart “Can I follow you around and beat up assassins? I’ve got nothing better to do.” A bureaucrat and career politician in his youth, Onar has since become a loyal and ardent Kingsguard. Through his loyalty, he has been ascended to the highest ranking officer within the cohort. Conveniently also the Grand King’s brother. Svardin Grandaxe “‘How could I resist a position of the highest honour?” A Dwarf well versed in the works of the military, serving as a personal guard, leader and also as Marshal. Svardin has been fighting in the name of Urguan since a very young age, and sees no reason why he should stop now. He believes highly in honour, as all Dwarves should, and believes honour is earned. His patron being Dungrimm, Svardin has chosen to take the role of a protector, and therefore happily offers his service to the Grand King. Kilgrim Irongut “Strength in the mind, strength in the heart, and strength in the body, that’s what it takes to be a Kingsguard.” Kilgrim has seen kingdoms rise and fall through the ages. He has been on councils, parties, courts. He has held kings and heros on his shoulder, and he does not intend to falter now. He was there when the kingdom formed. He was there when it fell, and he will always be there to pick it back up. Ronnie Frostbeard “Step back, I am a Kingsguard.” A veteran amongst the dwarven people, Ronnie shows character, charisma and excellent marshal skill. He is held in high esteem amongst his fellow Kingsguard and shows great diligence in his work in protecting the Grand King. Rurik “Protect. Impera.” The final member of the Kingsguard, a golem. Whilst the loyalty and strength of the dwarves amongst the Kingsguard is unparalleled, having the unquestionable loyalty and immense strength of a Golem amongst the Kingsguard proves to be a valuable asset to the Grand King.
