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 <-=<=-=>=->

The Kjell Act V2 Preface <=-<=-=>-=> In times where it is necessary for the Dwarven people to take up fortified lands so that Urguan’s people may be protected, it is also necessary to ensure that the Dwarven people stand behind these fortifications, and not extended far out where they are exposed and separated. In times of less Dwarven population it is also necessary for the productivity of our people to concentrate our population and resources into central locations where dwarves can be in plentiful amounts. To this end the Kjell Act V2 shall aim. Provision I: Concentration in the Under-realm. <=-<=-=>-=> In order to concentrate the dwarven realm, No fortifications, holdfasts or large structures may be constructed above ground. Instead all efforts shall be focused into the Under-Realm. In addition no large swaths of land shall be sold above ground. Provision II: Exceptions to Concentration. <=-<=-=>-=> The Hefrumm, and all Forest Dwarves are an exception to the concentration and are free to build freely above-ground. Royally approved farmsteads and ranches are also an exception and may be built above ground. Provision III: Authority of the Kazak’Nozkron to Return Wayward Dwedmar. <=-<=-=>-=> The War Council [Kazak’Nozkron] shall be vested with the authority and responsibility to return lost dwarves living outside the Under-Realm’s lands to the dwarven controlled lands where they may be protected and also contribute to the dwarven nation.

*flyers are distrusted throughout the city of Kal’Varoth, upon viewing them you would read;* PUBLIC NOMINATIONS FOR FOREMAN GENERAL <=-<=-=>-=> IT has come time for the Under-Realm of Urguan to appoint a dwed to the position of Foreman General.

In order to fulfill this position, the King has called for a PUBLIC NOMINATION. This means that any capable dwed may apply for the position, and should the right dwed for the job be found, he will be given the role.

The Aaz Do Belka Act Preface <=-<=-=>-=> In recognition of the potential of conflict over the status of a mixed-blood dwarf’s citizenship as a dwarven citizen or a non-dwarven citizen, this act shall aim to specify the status of mixed-blooded dwarves. Provision I <=-<=-=>-=> Mixed blood dwarves are to be considered dwarves as long as their primary traits are dwarven and they follow the religion of the Brathmordakin (aka, dwarf race on persona). Mixed blood dwarves are held to the same standard as other dwarves, this means that they are forbidden from shaving their beards if they are a male. Any descendant with less than 50% dwarven blood is not considered a dwarf through the eyes of the dwarven state or its clergy. Regardless of their ancestry these people will not be treated as dwarves. Dwarves with mix blood are heavily encouraged to have children with individuals with a higher percentage of dwarven. This said, while a dwarf (pure blooded) is forbidden from having children with another race, he/she is allowed to have children with a dwarf with mix blood (as long as it is a dwarf with 50% or more dwarven blood) Due to mix blooded dwarves being considered dwarves by the Dwarven State, killing a mix blooded dwarf is considered an act of kin slaying. Kin slayers are the lowest of the low in the eyes of the Dwarven State and its Clergy. Shaving the beard of a mixed blood is also an equal crime as shaving the beard of an average dwarf. Do to precedent of other mix blood clans being considered dwarven clans through the eyes of the state (eg. Doomforged). Mixed blood clans are considered Dwarven Clans so long as they remain populated by dwarves, of mixed blood or otherwise. These clans must have their culture connected to that of the general dwarven culture. If a clan fails to do so their status as a dwarven clan would be revoked by the Dwarven State with support of the Dwarven Clergy. Credit to Mateolog for the post.

The King having requested a gathering for an official anouncement caused a crowd of dwarves to gather in the throne room to await him. Eventually Fimlin emerged from his chambers, and rose to the base of the Obsidian Throne to speak. “Ah ‘ave been a Legionnaire fer most of my life, and my best years ‘ave been spent in service to the Dwarven Legion. Ah ‘old it in the highest regard in me heart, an’ truth be told ah miss those days more than anehthin. Ah grew up in the Legion, ah’ve fought in all of its wars since enlist’n, and ah can tell tha’ what the Legion was shall nevah be again. The Dwedmar are evolving, an’ with that the past ways, an’ the rusted institutions must be retoired to make way fer the progress of our people. With ah ‘eavy heart ah realoize that the Legion’s regimented an’ stiff approach to the organization o’ our militareh is nae longer appreciated nor encourage’n to the Dwedmar w’o wish to defend their Nation. With that the Legion s’all be dissolved, an’ in its place allow the Dwedmar to form their own Militareh Guilds that suit t’eir own abilities. Weh as ah people must remember always to weep fer tha past, but hope fer the future.” With that Fimlin concludes his speech. ... THE KAZAK’NOZKRON ACT Provision I: Disolution of the Dwarven Legion <=-<=-=>-=> The entity of the Dwarven Legion, or Dungrimm’s Legion shall be retired and marked as a historic institution. Thus the Legion shall not be reformed, as this institution has made its mark on the world, but has now become obsolete.

Provision II: Enactment of the War Council <=-<=-=>-=> The Leadership of The Legion (which includes any rank Lieutenant and above) shall be transformed into the “War Council.” The War Council shall be comprised of all military Guildmasters, and the Lieutenants, Commanders and the Grand Marshal appointed by the Under-King.

Provision III: Military Guilds <=-<=-=>-=> Military Guilds shall comprise the dwarven military force and shall be responsible for all defensive and offensive tasks.
