Atandt Irongrinder would check up on his friend and his Captain, Charles ‘the Bald’. He had been with Charles since the beginning of his life and had been personally trained by Charles himself. They had been together for a hundred years and Atandt would be there as Charles took his last breath before stating, “He was a legend until the end, no-one else could manage to kill him asides Yemekar himself.”

“Huh, I thought Torvin Grandaxe had them all” Atandt would say to himself.

Local Businesses Booming

Ever since Under-King Utak Ireheart declared war on the orcs, the dwedmar have come out stronger to support their local businesses in times of war. Businesses including the kingdom tavern, the Ruined Runesmith, have reported large surges of new customers. The support of the dwedmar in this time of war has allowed businesses to look past getting through their tax weeks and on how they can expand further. An owner of the tavern, Mafraedon Irongrinder, told the DNN that they were going through many kegs a day of their finest ales because of the large surge of customers. 

Former King Hard at Work

Former Grand King Gror Ireheart has been recently seen in the Under-Realms of Urguan. He was spotted hard at work in the forges to help with the Urguanian war effort. Gror was seen coming back to help Urguan as he has a passion for war and also because he is a relative of the Under-King. The weapons and tools that Gror were producing were of the highest quality and suitable for even the Under-King himself.

Haense Visits Urguan

In the past stone week, the King of Haense visted the Under-Realms of Urguan to speak to the Under-King of Urguan, Utak Ireheart. The King of Haense and his advisors proposed opening up the markets between the dwedmar and the umri to which the Under-King had not made a decision about. After more discussion, the King of Haense invited the Under-Realms of Urguan to compete in the Reznian games due to the invitation of the Krugmar being receded. The Urguanians agreed to send representatives into the games stating that they were natural sprinters and dangerous over short distances. 

Nottingham Mercenaries In Urguan

A group of mercenaries from Nottingham were spotted in Urguan after allying themselves with Krugmar. Grand Marshal Axel Ireheart quickly shut the gates on one of the mercenaries. One of them quickly ran off before fighting the local Urguani guard. After a quick scuffle, another Notthingham mercenary was also trapped in the gates. The Urguani Legion would then get into a fight with them before winning. After the Urguani guard won the fight, they arrested two individuals and brought them to the prison.

Charles “The Bald” Returns!

The Grand Champion, Charles “The Bald” has returned to the Under-Realms of Urguan after a long period of being missing. Charles “The Bald '' comes back to both be a free citizen in Urguan after a court case against him was dismissed and to inspire the Urguanian legion in the current war against the Rexdom. Many dwedmar have reported being inspired to slaughter more orcs because of this great legends return and have stated saying that they know that the Brathmordakin have sent this legend back to help lead the dwedmar through the war.

War in Urguan

After the recent aggression by the orcs, Under-King Utak Ireheart met with his closest advisors and attempted to open a line of diplomacy up with the orcs. However, due to the Rex of the orcs refusing to accept the terms put on by the Under-Realms of Urguan. Urguanian diplomats were then ignored by the Rex and all talks of peace broke down between the two nations. With the orcs continuing their aggression against Urguan, Under-King Utak Ireheart was forced to declare war on the orcs. The dwarven legion now prepares to march towards the capital of the orcs in order to stop their aggression and to protect the dwedmar. 

Swans return to the Under-Realms

The majestic and beautiful stone swans have returned to the Under-Realms of Urguan. The National Urguanian Conservation Society led by High Preceptor Norli Starbreaker has advised citizens of the Under-Realms to keep their distance from the swans as they are aggressive to those that they are not acquainted with. Norli Starbreaker explained to the DNN that “It’s a miracle and blessing from Anbella, a sign of her favor. It’s exciting to see such a creature return to our caves and it is a good omen for the times to come, including this upcoming war where surely Anbella shall keep us in her warm embrace through thick and thin.”

Mysterious Disease Spreading

Doctors from the Under-Realms have warned of a new disease spreading that has been labeled as a stone disease, Stonevid. The disease targets the skin of dwedmar making them pale to a point where it looks like stone. It has also been warned that another symptom of the disease is stark raving madness. Urguanian doctors have warned that the only cure is orc blood and unless people are planning on fighting orcs they should keep a four foot distance from orcs. The DNN was informed that the orcs are the cause for the spread and they have built up an immunity to it so they can attempt to give it to other nations.

What staff team(s) are you applying for?

• Moderation

What skills can you apply in your role as Staff?

I have experience in moderation with being a previous Forum Moderation manager and Game Moderator. I also have assisted in the moderation in wars and warclaims. Along with experience, time and dedication are both skills that I can apply into my role as staff. I found these traits to be important as one has to be careful in order to not burn themself out yet still be able to be a helpful member of the community and as staff.

What is one thing you would want to change?

The main thing that I have noticed is that during peak times of the server, the moderation team lacks members being either online with only having 1 or 2 moderations online. I would like to help be able to fix the situation by being another member that is online during those peak times and can help handle those modreqs. The other main issue that I have seen is communication. I have witnessed some players being banned first without reason and having to struggle to figure out why they have been punished.

Link insightful feedback that speaks personally to you.

Justice in Urguan!

Tragically Morag Goldhand was brutally murdered earlier this week. The legal experts from the #1 law firm, Irongrinder, Irongrinder, Irongrinder, & Irongrinder, and sons Law Firm prosecuted the defendant, Ivar Goldhand, with charges such as murder and heathenism. During the trial the defense attempted to state that Ivar at first did not do the crime and then that he did it out of self-defense because of insanity. Justice was served when the judges came back with a guilty verdict on the charges of  conspiracy to commit murder, kidnapping, murder, heathenism, vigilantism, and assault. A local clown honked his horn happily upon hearing of the justice for the fallen dwed and Chief Prosecutor Bhudand ‘****-Slayer’ Irongrinder (Note: Both of these statements were given before the Defendant took his own life) gave a statement to the DNN in which he expressed he was happy with the results of the trial and was happy with justice being served. The Goldhand Clan was charged with a 45,000 minas fine with punishment of helping assist Ivar Goldhand in the charges.

Convicted War Criminal Commits Suicide

Ivar Goldhand shortly after being found guilty of his crimes against Urguan, pulled out his halberd. He then took his own life instead of receiving his life banishment. Experts on the subject said that Ivar would rot in Vuur’Dor. Other than that, nothing really eventful happened afterwards asides for a ruling that the deceased had to be buried outside of Urguani land.

Goldhand Clan are Murderers!?!

One stone day ago, Morag Goldhand was taken by the Goldhand Clan and ruthlessly murdered. The leader of this murderous bunch of dwedmar, Ivar Goldhand, masterminded the plot to take down a fellow dwarf. Morag Goldhand had gone to inform his Clan Father, Ivar Goldhand, about the return of his cousin, Barundin Goldhand. Ivar, along with the Goldhand Clan lured Morag outside of the capital with intentions to murder Morag. Morag informed the classified key witness that should he not return, it should be assumed that Ivar had done the worst to him. The classified key witness watched several members of the Goldhand Clan surround Morag’s corpse; Morag Goldhand had been murdered.

THEREFORE:

Guilty, Frostbeard punished!

Let it be known, in the Under-Realms of Urguan, that your crimes will be punished. Garrond Frostbeard has learned this lesson the hard way after taking actions into his own hands. G. Frostbeard was charged with slavery, perjury, vigilantism, and impersonation of a public official. He was found innocent of the charge of slavery, however, he was found guilty on the charges of perjury, vigilatism, and impersonation of a public official. The punishments were 5,300 minas and the revocation of his permanent citizenship in the Under-Realms of Urguan.

Local Goldhand Attacks National Treasure

The trial of the century happened in Urguan today. Grand Champion of Urguan, Charles ‘The Bald’, was charged with attempted murder. What happened in the courts, nobody expected. The prosecution showed incompetence and made a mockery of the courts when they did not even read the Laws of Urguan. The prosecutor, Ivar Goldhand, refused to read the laws and tried to charge the national treasure and Grand Champion, Charles ‘The Bald’, with something that is not even a crime. The expert legal team defending the legend quickly figured this out and demanded a dismissal of the trial. The court was adjourned to return at a later date, due to the Prosecution's inability to produce a coherent case, nor were they able to produce a consistent set of charges. The entire situation was abysmal and embarrassing for the new Court System in Urguan.

Dwedmas Celebrations Underway!

Dwedsmas celebrations have kicked off in the Under-Realms of Urguan. The Ruined Runesmith recently put up their Dwedmas Anvil. Tavern owner, Darek Irongrinder, had the honor of leading the celebration this year. The Dwedsmas Anvil that was decorated in the Ruined Runesmith was kindly donated by DwedCorp who stressed the importance of dwedmar celebrating the prestigious holiday and to have holiday spirit!

Local Dwedmar Sing Dwedsmas Classics

(Tharggus was absent when the DNN reporter was drawing the picture.)

While drinking in the Ruined Runesmith, a group of local dwedmar sung Dwedsmas songs in an attempt to get the holiday spirit going in the Under-Realms of Urguan. Tharggus and Atandt Irongrinder started singing classic Dwedsmas songs such as ‘Oh Dwedsmas Anvil’. They were soon joined by Darek and Mafraedon Irongrinder plus Jorvin Starbreaker. Surrounding dwedmar stated that they were pleased by the songs and became filled with holiday spirit.

The Lyrics for ‘Oh Dwedsmas Anvil’

Lord Chancellor Declares Celebration

Lord Chancellor Jorvin Starbreaker has declared a celebration in preparation for the upcoming holidays of Paragon Kjell’s Day and Dwedsmas. Both holidays are a unique occasion for the dwedmar as they gather around and actually hand out gifts to each other. The Lord Chancellor decreed from his office that the citizens of the Under-Realms should decorate their houses and businesses to help celebrate the holidays.

All Golems Gone Mad

Recently, an outbreak of Golems have started randomly attacking innocent dwarves in the Under-Realms of Urguan. Fearless dwedmar such as Bhudand Irongrinder and Jorvin Starbreaker had recently fought with one of these rogue golems in the tavern. The golem was defeated and destroyed so it could not harm any more dwedmar. DNN would like to thank these dwarves for putting their lives at risk to help make Urguan a safer place.

Not So Epic Journey

It was recently reported by Lord Chancellor Jorvin Starbreaker that the Under-King, Utak Ireheart, had left the kingdom to go on an epic journey. The kingdom was placed under control of a regent while this epic journey was happening. Unfortunately for this epic journey, Jorvin Starbreaker has told DNN that the Under-King was found to have fallen down a ravine and got stuck. He was helped out by local dwarven firefighters and has returned to the kingdom to rule once again.

Silver Alert Placed Out

The Irongrinder Clan has placed a silver alert for hero, Zahrer Irongrinder. Zahrer was last seen leaving the kingdom looking for the nearest gas station to go buy cigarettes. Many of the clan was confused as the local Irongrinder company, DwedCorp, sells cigarettes and wondered why Zaher would need to go to a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes. The old dwarf is around four feet high and has silver-grayish hair. If he is seen you should avoid him and contact the Irongrinders at once as he is assumed to be armed and dangerous.
