“Nice Prepouousuuausal” writes Fimlin from his retirement home.

“Ah foine days t’ey were, though ah was too green an’ young ter understand muc’ of tha’ rebellion at teh toime.”

A large part of the completeness of a map is letting history play out. Most of the time abandoned cities are just //set 0 and deleted, instead of letting the map become aged as it is used through the year(s) most of the player-built things are not allowed to mature and are either deleted or a new map comes out.

Fimlin smiles the Sun’s Smile seeing the Jarldom of Avar’s title being rightfully returned. “ITS MOI OISLAND.” Can be heard shouted from an unknown location in Kal’Varoth

Fimlin grins heartily through his beard from his retirement home.

After a long time away, with little communication passed from the Under-King, Fimlin returns with his mind set on one thing; It is time for him to pass on the torch. With that, Fimlin emerged in the Kal’Varoth square to give one final speech as Under-King. <=-=> “I ‘ave ruled over this nation fer quite ah long toime, and as ah’ve assured ye all, the day fer me to lay this crown to rest ‘as come. Bu’ before ah do so, ah few last words to speak.” Fimlin coughs and clears his throat before beginning to speak once again. “We ‘ave come a long way since weh first started in Kal’Azgaryum, an’ fer some of ye even Kal’Bogrin. Almost everythin ‘as changed since t’en, but at ‘eart ah believe we are still the same Kingdom, an’ none of wot we’ve accomplished would ‘ave come to pass without it. We should all look back an’ see wot we ‘ave actualleh accomplished since the early days.” We’ve united dwedkind, ah ‘ard task, an’ one that ‘as perhaps changed our nation the most bu’ also the most essential pillar of it. Agnarum, an’ the Under-Realm were founded to provoide unity to ah divided dwedmar, an’ we ‘ave successfully achieved this goal. It is immeasurably important tha’ no matter wot our differences an’ conflicts may be, tha’ the dwedmar stick it out together, because tha’ is w’ere dwedmar belong; together. We’ve built an expansive capitol to be teh center of our nation an’ home fer the dwedmar. Wit’ ah great amount of toime, effort, foine dwarven craftsdwedship an’ labour we built a true dwarven capitol. Kal’Varoth en all its gloreh will beh ah legacy of the dwedmar fer centuries ter come. Weh’ve written an enacted the Articles of Urguan V2 as our guidebook fer running the nation, an’ fer enforcin’ the law o’ ter land. We’ve stayed away from two major world conflicts, bot’ tha’ would ‘ave onleh brought misereh an’ distract our proud nation from itself. We ‘ave also forged friendships an’ mutualleh beneficial neutral relationships wit’ other nations, whoile remaining focused on ourselves. Weh’ve allowed guilds to rise up again, where years before t’ey would falter and flatten before bein’ started. Under our fallen friend, Bjor Cottonwood teh Forest Dwarves became more than an afterthought in the legaceh of Urguan’s sons. Under his leadership the Hefrumm have flourished, an’ fer teh first toime ever the Forest Dwed ‘ave made t’eir own mark on dwedkind’s ‘istory. Weh’ve welcomed new friends an’ said goodbye to others, all teh whoile the Spirit o’ the Dwedmar ‘as been kept broight, an’ fer tha’ ah am proud.” <=-=> Fimlin would give a slight pause before continuing his speech. <=-=> “Now as the reigning King fer nearleh seven stone months, ah will impart ye some wisdom, an’ methods o’ moine own.” Whenever ah’ve faced ah decision, ah’ve understood tha’ it is important to keep the dwedmar enfranchised wit’ t’eir nation. As dwed are loyal an’ stubborn somethin is wrong if all tha’ is said ‘bout how the nation is bein’ ran is negative. Fer tha’ reason ah ‘ave always compromised an’ figured out ah middle ground tha’ teh entoire council could agree to. Ah never pulled technicalities er majoriteh on me decisions, because ah believed it necessary fer me to ‘ave everehone be able to atleas’ respect the decision made. The Dwedmar must stay united, whenever given the chance ah strove to bring dwed back to Urguan, because as long as oi’ve lived togetherness ‘as been the central pillar of the Dwedmar. Ahm proud to ‘ave reigned over all the sons of Urguan, an’ that despoite our differences weh ‘ave come back towards the uniteh weh once ‘ad. If the Dwedmar are nothin’ else, they should be together, our kingdom, our clans, our proide are minor compared to our people as a whole, an’ t’ey should not get in the way of bein’ together. Nae matter wot ‘as been goin’ on up at the surface, durin’ me reign ah’ve stayed focused on our Under-Realm. Our position in past world conflicts ‘as lead us down sad paths, the dwedmar are nae pawns of international conflicts. Weh are a proud nation, an’ the onleh wars we foight amongst the Children of Yemekar should be our own. Against the Undead, an’ aneh Harbingers of evil we however must be willin’ to make sacrifoices to keep t’ese forces at bay, wotever it takes. Ah foinal piece o’ wisdom ah’ll give ye, is one ah’ve onleh learned more recentleh. The Grand Kingdom of Urguan is dead, weh carry on Urguan’s legaceh wit’ the Under-Realm, but nae the Grand Kingdom’s. The Under-Realm is ‘ere to provoide freedom of creativiteh an’ choice to the Dwedmar, an’ that must be upheld. Nae longer should we route an’ railroad dwed down our own pre-designated paths bu’ instead keep the nation as boundless as teh world.” <=-=> Fimlin clears his throat for the last leg of his speech. <=-=> Ah am grateful, an proud of everehthin that weh’ve done. Ahm glad to ‘ave served my tenure as King, an’ as quite possibleh the longest reigning King too. Ah’ve put ah great amount o’ commitment an’ effort into t’is nation an’ ah look forward to see’n it continued on. Ah dunnae expect anehone after me to be loike meself, bu’ ah do ‘ope that wot ah’ve done, an’ wot ah’ve got to say is nae forgotten, because ah’ve never forgotten wot others ‘ave done and said, ah kept it in memoreh, an’ used it to guide this nation best ah could. Ah promise ye will all see meh around, less often, but ah will be there when yer need me. Remember me, because ah remember all of ye.” With that, the former Under-King of the Under-Realm of Urguan Fimlin Grandaxe stepped down, and made his way past the crowd. <=-=>

Penned on this day the 6th of The First Seed, 1716, at the request of the Under-King and the Rikkins Council of the Under-Realm of Urguan. <=-<=-=>-=> When Khorvad The Betrayer first turned his back on the graces of Yemekar and the Brathmordakin, it was Urguan Silverbeard that the mighty creator himself charged with leading the earthbound defense against the darkness that followed. For millennia afterwards, the Dwarves stood resilient through the trials and tribulations presented by the conflicts of both mortal and immortal means. It is the wish of the people of Urguan that we once more resume our steadfast watch over the realm, rising above the conflicts of our brethren and unifying once more in totality to the guardianship we once held over the descendents. To this end, the Under-Realm of Urguan does hereby declare total and utter neutrality from the conflict that now wages across the continent. To no side shall aid be given by way of arms, finance, or whichever means the Under-King and Rikkin Council deem a risk at breaking our self-proclaimed neutrality. Furthermore, we formally offer our assistance to all those who would seek refuge from the conflict. Provided that they cause no trouble in Dwarven lands or abroad, those seeking solitude from the wars of the realm will be granted comfort, shelter, and opportunities for employment within Dwarven lands. Finally, as the rightful heirs of Urguan’s charge to defend the realm, the Dwarves do hereby open all channels of communication to the realm, regardless of race or nationality, with the purpose of offering the full might of the Under-Realm of Urguan against the forces of Khorvad wherever they may reside. Charged as we are by Yemekar, “The Just”, Under-King of the Under-Realm of Urguan, Grand King of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, King of Agnarum, Az’adar, and Ord, Lord of Kal’Varoth, Kal’Azgaryum, Kal’Omith, Kal’Nikaer, Kal’Akash, Kal’Karaad, Kal’Agnar, Kal’Klad, Kal’Arkon, Kal’Ithrun, Kal’Azgoth, Kal’Karik, and Kal’Urguan, Defender of the Dwedmar, Beloved of the Brathmordakin, Elder of Clan Grandaxe, etcetc...

It is known, that great inner strife and conflict had once ruled over the dwarves, and though there is only one Dwarven Nation; The Under-Realm of Urguan. It is no doubt the ghosts of the past conflicts still haunt the dwarven people. It is not the goal of the Under-Realm to live out, and end these conflicts so that one side remains. Rather it is the purpose of the Under-Realm to enfranchise all Dwedmar to live in the haven that is the Under-Realm. It is time now, to welcome back and encourage our scattered kin to return to be together. To all Dwedmar who dissented for politics, you are all henceforth unbanished from Dwarven lands. And to all our scattered kin across the world, the Under-Realm welcomes you, and calls you back to your home. The Political Amnesty Act <-=<=-=>=->
