Dizzy771

*The crowds gather around as the lord Dizzy Irongrinder stands ready to address them. He clears his throat and begins to speak* I come to address you today, not as hopeful king, but as any other dwarf. Now is the time to strengthen our people, to bring true leadership forward. We must face the threat to come and prevail, but we can not prevail if we are separated. I can abide by the choice of king, so long as whom ever receives the blessing of the Brathmordakin to sit in that throne address the issues at hand. *He pauses before continuing* Our kind is dieing. *The crowd around him begins to mutter and chat among themselves, he waits to speak until they have quieted* It is true, we have slowly began to sever connections with the rest of Anthos, and we are losing numbers. Our trade is none aside from personal businesses of the more entrepreneurial individuals. Our soldiers, trained and battle hardened as they may be, are running few. Our religion, the holy Brathmordakin, is only followed loosely. Aye, even our women are producing less beardlings. I have seen what is to come of our race, the few warriors slaughtered in combat and driven out of our ancestral homes. Our political relations with the other nations must be upheld. I have plans to address each and every one of these situations. *Dizzy motions to some couriers to run off with some voting forms. They head off in the directions of Adunia, Salvus, and the dwarven holds* Due to a slight miscommunication with another lord it was stated that only dwarves could vote. This is false. It is in the articles of Urguan that any holds or groups underneath the kingdom are able to vote. In our late Grand kings dieing words he commanded me to follow the articles and the will of the Brathmordakin. Come the last elections more than just dwarves had been able to vote, and so it shall be now. *Pauses once more before continuing with his final point* As for my vote. *Dizzy hands an elderly scribe a blank voting form* I believe that the Brathmordakin shall bless whom ever is worthy to rule. ((TL;DR Vassal kingdoms and holds in the dwarven kingdom can vote, also I made a short speech))

*The crowds around Kal’Azgoth gather once more, 4 dwarves stand out infront of the crowds ready to present what is to come. The elderly scribe steps forward and begins to speak* As is customary with our people the selection for king shall be taken to vote. The lords have either made their decisions or have been unable to do so due to other matters. Regardless now is the time to decide our new leadership, to strengthen the dwarven nation once again. The legacy of our ancestors will live on. *The three dwarves standing behind the scribe hand forms out to some nearby servants and couriers. The forms are given to all the dwarves and the people of Vaerhaven. Forms are also given to the vassal kings of Salvus and Adunia for distribution to there people* _________________________________________________________ The vote for the next king All dwarves living in dwarven lands get a vote All residents of the hold of Vaerhaven, and any others in dwarven lands, get a vote All vassal citizens get a vote, current vassals are Salvus and Adunia ~The form~ Please fill this out to the best of your abilities ((Copy paste the following part and fill it out)) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your Name: ((MC Name)): The candidates: Wulfric Grandaxe ((Lionkopa99)) Dominic Irongut ((Doom6153)) Dizzy Irongrinder ((Dizzy771)) Place an X next to the one you vote for and send the form directly to the lords council. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The voting will end in three elven days ((Sunday morning)) __________________________________________________________ ((Place your response in this thread for your vote)) ((You only get one vote per person, not character. please remember that))

*Dizzy is puzzled by the amount of dwarves standing around chattering to each other about nominating people. Only the five lords can nominate people, those five being Dizzy, Telchar, Wulfric, Dom and Farren. However Farren is away on a quest of his own at the moment*

*Dizzy clears his throat and begins to speak first among the bunch* I wish nae more than tu see the kingdom prosper an fer the legacy o-Thorin Grandaxe carry on. After much thought I 'ave come to a decision on who tu nominate. *He pauses, head bowed for a moment* I wish tah nominate meself. I can garuntee dat I shall bring forth o-toime o-prosperity tu our people, and dat the will o-tha Brathmordakin shall be up'eld. I 'ave nothin further tu say at dis point. Tha toime fer speechs be later, now is onleh tha toime fer mournin and tha selection to re-affirm the strength o-tha dwarven nation. *Bows to the crowd and steps back for the other lords to speak, his armor clanking*

*A somber entourage of dwarves emerges from the grand halls of Kal’Azgoth, the crowds gather before them to hear what is to come of the dwarven people. An older scribe like dwarf steps forward, the lords of the kingdom standing behind him, still mourning the loss of the late Grand King Thorin Grandaxe. The scribe coughs and begins to read from a scroll* With the passing of the Grand King Thorin Grandaxe we are a nation without a leader. We must be united and continue on the legacy of the dwarven kings of old. Always have we been at the forefront of the fight againts the evils of this realm, and always have we prevailed. With heavy hearts we must continue on, we must take action and elect a new king. As is customary the lords will elect who they see fit to rule the kingdom and then there will be a vote from the candidates. *The scribes voice slows and quiets. He bows his head in remorse, the elections will be held somberly, the nation still mourning its loss.* *The lords step forward and in turn nominate their candidates for the new king*

*Dizzy mourns the loss of the king of Urguan. Forever shall his name be spoken in the tales and legends of his people* TL;DR Thorin is dead, he died a hero. Savoie and Oren have been released into independance, Salvus and Karakatua can remain vassals if they so choose. Good day to you all!

*Several dwarven workers set about making the dangerous flight of stairs more shallow and less steep. As the final stone is laid down they carve a message in the stone.* In Memory of Gorum Frostbeard, may his legacy live on.

*A small, very elderly looking dwarf comes forward with an announcement to each of the separate nations. He unravels a scroll and begins to read aloud in a clear and powerful voice* By decree of the Grand King Thorin Grandaxe a statue of himself shall be erected to attest to his full glory in victory over lessers. This statue shall be made exactly to his specifications and only master craftsmen shall be employed for its creation. This grand spectacle shall me raised in the recently taken village of the so called “God Men” for all the nations to bear witness. The captured “God Men” and their criminal allies will work as the grunt labor force in its construction. *He pauses* Long live Thorin Grandaxe! *The small dwarf ravels up the scroll and scurrys away before seeing the reactions of the crowds*

*Dizzy awaits the response of the prince Carrion patiently, calling servants around to bring more refreshments when needed*

*After attending to the king of Oren a servant informs Dizzy of the arrival of the Adunian King. He moves to receive them into the council chambers* Welcome tu ye King o-Adunia. I will 'ave sum men tend tu yer extra retinue, as fer yerself and tha two o-yer chosen please follow meh. *shows them into the council chambers calling the servants to tend to his men. Offering him some food and drink he proceeds* King Lachlan o-Adunia, we already 'ave tha pleasure o-'avin King William 'oren o-Oren 'ere. Please, get yerself acquainted wit each otha and 'ave sum refreshments. All we must wait fer now is tha King o-Savioe *Shortly after greeting the Adunian king he notices the less dramatic entry then the other rulers by the prince of Carrion. He turns to address him* Greetins tu ye as well lord o-Savoie, 'ave some refreshments as well. Now dat we are all gathered I will call upon T'orin tu start tha delegations. *sends a servant off to inform Grand King Thorin Grandaxe that the delegations are here*

*Dizzy greets the king of Oren and his retinue, he calls for some servants to show the kings knights to a place with some food and drink and shows the king and his chosen two into the chambers himself. He offers some food and drink to the king as well* "I thank ye fer comin King Willian o-Oren. Now await the arival o-tha leaders of tha otha nations. Please du be seated, yer men will be treated kindleh. Can I offer ye anythin while we wait?"

*An emissary is sent to the kingdoms of Adunia, Savoie, and Oren bearing to royal seal of the Grand king of Urguan.* By the command of the Grand king Thorin Grand axe the leaders of the nations of Adunia, Savoie, and Oren are to hold council within the the halls of Kal'Azgoth with the Grand king in order to discuss the recent hostilities and conflicts in which have arisen from human lands. Each delegation is to consisted of the ruler of the kingdom, one ambassador, one guard, and are to be presented to the Grand king. It is in the interests of the Grand kingdom, and likely of others, to resolve the current conflicts that have arisen as of late. War must be averted and our attention turned to what is truly at hand. We await word from each of you, absence from these delegations will be looked upon unfavorably. ((This is to be a forum RP, gathering of the leaders in game would be too difficult and time consuming. Put your responses here. If you would not be here RP'ly please do not post))
