A notice is pinned up on the announcement boards throughout the city. Citizens of Kal'Akash, some of you may not have heard, but I have stepped down from my position of Grand Merchant and have decided to dedicate myself to the Kirkja Dverga, or otherwise known as the clergy. I will be holding my first of many sermons at the Temple above Kal'Akash on 13th of the First Seed. I look forward to seeing you all there and if you know of any Umros or Elgus interested in learning more about our faith, invite them to attend as well. Brathmordakin guide you all. Signed, Vondan Frostbeard ___________________________________________________________________________________________ OOC Information: Sermon starts at 7 PM EST this Friday. Its at the temple above Kal'akash. Hope to see you all there.

Name: Vondan Frostbeard Race: Mountain Dwarf Residence (City): Kal'Akash Candidate: Rhewen Frostbeard

You're walking on your way someplace as you head down Yemekar's Path through Kal'Akash. It's the dead of night and the punishing cold and tempest surely sapped the warmth from your bones. Off in the distance, you can hear raucous laughter accompanied with lively music. As you keep walking, a large building with massive wooden doors comes into view. A warm and welcoming light emanates from the hall that mingled with the smell of freshly cooked pork that wafted through the air. Entering the hall, you see the main hall has been filled with tables of dwedmar, along with a few humans and a smattering of elves. You're welcomed immediately, a hospitable dwarf handing you a full tankard of mead and ushering you deeper into the hall and around a corner. Its here the music is loudest and the laughter rolls over you like a powerful wave. At the head of the table, sitting in front of a throne was a relatively tall dwarf with thick black hair and an icy blue eye, his other covered by a leather eye patch. “Anotta' guest, eh? Take ah seat 'den!” the Frostbeard said with a grin. “Weh were just about ta' share some stories 'ere. Doesn't 'urt much ta' 'ave anotta' person ta' 'ear ov Frostbeard gloreh.” the dwarf chuckled, grabbing hold of a nearby tankard, guzzling it down like a man dying of thirst. He slammed it back down onto the table and thick foam now clung to his beard. “Ah t'ink ah'll tell ye' all 'bout mah trials. Now Kerwyr was ta' clan fa'tah at ta' time an' yeh all know 'ow 'e pushed ye tuh ta' duh wot needed done an more. Ah fookin slave driver, 'e was. Buh ah'll beh damned if 'e didn' inspire ye ta' get t'ings done. Anyways, suh 'e an' ah guh out inta' ta' woods an 'e leaves meh 'dere an says 'Vondan, lad. Ah want ye tuh guh out 'dere an 'kill ah fookin bear wit' nothin' but 'dis sword.' an' at this point ah'm fookin scared shiteless. Most ov ye know ah'm shite wit ah sword or anytin else fer 'dat matta. Buh ah guh inta' duh woods wit'out complaint because 'e is mah clan fa'tah. Ah spend four 'ours in 'dat blasted cold, freezing mah arse off as ah trudge through ta' snow. Ah passed ta' same bleedin' rock four bloodeh times. Ah was as lost as ah Goldhand wit'out aneh minas in his pocket, ah was. At 'dis point ah'm jumpin' at everah noise an lookin' 'round fer anythin' when suddenly... all got quiet. Ta' silence 'ung in ta' air like ta' world 'ad ended. 'Den 'dat damned bear rushed through ta' fookin' woods an came up ta' meh, standin up as tall as ta' tree's demselves. Ah was jus' ah beardlin' 'den an ah'd neva' 'ad ta' fight like 'dat, suh ah was terrified ov ta' damned t'ing. Buh ah've stones lads, ah've fookin stones. Ah charged 'dat damned bear and plunged mah sword right into its chest. Ah got suh focused on 'dat tho 'dat ta' bear...” he stopped. Pointing to his heavily scarred face. “... If 'e 'ad hit meh aneh 'arder 'den 'e did, ah wouldn' beh 'ere todah. Dungrimm was wit meh 'dat day, 'e was. Too bad fer all of ye 'e didn' kill meh, now yer stuck wit meh fer ah long time.” he said chuckling to himself as he picked up a loaf of bread, tearing a massive chunk out of it as he bit into it.

What is ye name?- Vondan Frostbeard How active are you in the kingdom? - ( I average 5 hours a day. ) What god do ye worship the most? - Belka

( This was wonderfully written and I enjoyed reading it immensely. )

Henceforth, all clan halls are forbidden to have any person quartered in its walls. Any person who currently resides in a clan hall is to vacate its premise by The Grand Harvest of 1535. Any clan caught housing any persons in their clan hall will be fined 500 minas. Furthermore, all construction of additions to clan halls is to be immediately halted and any infractions of this decree will also be met with a fine of 500 minas. In order to continue construction, the respective clan father must contact myself or Azaghal Doomforged. Inspections will be held to ensure adherence to this decree. Those who report infractions to this decree will be well rewarded. Further reforms will be enacted at a further date However, those who possess dwedmar clan halls within the Grand and Glorious city of Kal'akash will no longer have to pay any tax on their properties. These halls may still be used as storage and places of meeting for their respective clans. I have made this decree because we hardly make the income needed to ensure our Grand Kingdom is strong enough to stand against the test of time and that the clans spend their time locked away, plotting against each other. We cannot afford to play games in the shadows against one another, especially in such troubling times. The time is now to become closer with our brother and sister dwedmar and let out kinship become the foundation for a stronger Urguan. In anticipation of the citizenry who will need homes, we have expedited the construction of Kal'Yarred, The City Below. There are fine new homes there and the construction is near complete, but the homes are on the market and ready to be moved into. We also have many vacancies in upper Kal'akash, from the warrens which are a tax free one room home to our larger homes across the city. I'd also remind the citizens of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan that the Legion under the King's Warband offers many opportunities to those in need. You will receive a place to sleep, eat, and pay every stone week. You would also have the honour of serving our Kingdom and protecting our borders. Others may not wish to join the Legion can have the independence of working alone but still helping better the Grand Kingdom by becoming a worker at the Urguan Warehouse. Here, you would drop off your goods and be paid by the Kingdom for your work. Dwedmar of Urguan, unite to form a better future! Signed Grand Merchant, Vondan Frostbeard OOC Summery: No one can live in clan halls anymore, only meet there and store things. You no longer have to pay taxes on dwarven clan halls. All building is to be halted. Anyone caught disregarding this decree will be fined 500 minas. If you report people disregarding the decree, you will be rewarded. Inspections will be carried out to make sure people are following this decree. More changes to come.

In very fine and skilled penmanship an addition to the poster is added "You cannot sell land that is owned by the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. You merely live on our land that we have graciously allowed you to live on to you and charged a simple tax for. Any sale of your leased land will not be officially recognized. If you have issue with this, contact myself. With regards, Grand Merchant Vondan Frostbeard."

Due to circumstances of the Grand Kingdom's vested interest in our citizenry, Beros Oathcast was relieved of his position as Royal Proprietor. We are now searching for another capable person to manage The Dancing Igor, the kingdom owned tavern. They will be charged with the upkeep and operation of the tavern's business and assets. It is expected of them to improve and maintain profit, provide outstanding service to our citizens, and finally have only the best food and drink. Their title would be Royal Proprietor. If you're interested in this position, write out your qualifications and turn them into myself, The Grand Merchant, for review. Only dwed (dwarves) may apply.

The basic computers at my local library can run minecraft well. I feel you though, friend. I really do. I'm using a potato right now too because I don't have the money between all my bills, food, and so on.

A fine piece of parchment is pinned to the notice boards of Kal'Akash To maintain the health and stability of our markets, I will be informing the Legion to seek out those who are unlicensed vendors. This will include so called 'public food chests'. If you feel the need to be charitable and help better sustain the needs of our Grand Kingdom, you are encouraged to donate your minas to the Da Kirkja Dverga, otherwise known as the Dwarven Clergy. If you wish to sell your goods, contact myself for one of our many stalls in the Grand and Glorious city of Kal'Akash. Signed The Grand Merchant Vondan Frostbeard

There is a fine piece of parchment pinned to multiple notice boards throughout the city of Kal'Akash. To the citizens of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, It is with both great pride and pleasure that I, Grand Merchant Vondan Frostbeard, offer the position of Royal Proprietor to Beros of clan Oathcast on the 6th day of the Grand Harvest in the year of 1533. If he should accept this position, he would be responsible for the operation and upkeep of The Dancing Igor. Beros Oathcast has spent a vast majority of his life working in taverns as well as having achieved positions of great merit. It is my firm belief that a dwed that has led such a life would be able to bring much to the position. Signed Grand Merchant Vondan Frostbeard

Gathering the last of the applications, Vondan locks himself in his quarters, evaluating the candidates for the position. [The application portion of this is now closed, stay tuned for the new Royal Proprietor ]

[ I'll be selecting the Royal Proprietor tomorrow sometime, whenever I get around to sitting down at the computer. Have your applications submitted before then. ]

Vondan scoffed as he read the news. "We're 'avin trouble wit ah bunch ov fookin chickens, eh? Dungrimm is probableh ashamed ov us fer 'dis. Ah bunch ov paltry poultry, nary over three foot tall, causin us problems. Its only by Yemekar's and Dungrimm's blessins 'dat we 'aven't been overun by ta' Umros an Elgus if dat's ta' case."

As my first official order after my return to the office of Grand Merchant, I am announcing a vacancy in the government of our Grand Kingdom. We are searching for a capable person to manage The Dancing Igor, the kingdom owned tavern. They will be charged with the upkeep and operation of the tavern's business and assets. It is expected of them to improve and maintain profit, provide outstanding service to our citizens, and finally have only the best food and drink.

If Lord of the Craft moved to another platform, I might look into it but chances are I'd end up finding a new community to join. I enjoy minecraft as a role play medium. There is so much you can do with it, especially if you have a group of people capable of writing code for plugins. With minecraft, you can sculpt the entire world as a player so long as you have permissions to a given area. With a game like this, that wouldn't be as possible. Not to mention, my computer couldn't run that. I can't even run minecraft on its lowest settings without optifine, and with optifine I have to run it on all the lowest settings ontop of 15 - 20 FPS limit. Nearly all the games on my computer I cannot run, and if Lord of the Craft switched mediums, I wouldn't be able to follow it. I'm a grown man, I have an income, but I also have priorities and getting a new computer so I could stay in an online community? Not one of them.

"Ah leave fer ah short while an' everything falls apart. If our Grand King Midgor is incapicated, ah believe that it falls to Azaghal ta rule in his stead, if ah recall correctleh." Vondan said, brows furrowed.

Alina had snatched the note from her door as she rushed inside to get out of the cold biting at her skin. Shivering, she read the note. "Feast means ale, right? It better mean ale, otherwise I'm going to be really ******* angry. Its not a feast without a good drink." Alina's brows furrowed as she spoke to herself. "Its the damn North, we need ale, especially if we get some boar!"

Unexpected circumstances beyond my control have forced me to submit my resignation from my position as Grand Merchant, effective immediately. I do this with a heavy heart, attaining such a position having been my life long ambition. I would not have been able to get where I was today without the help of my clan, Azaghal Doomforged, and our superb and glorious Grand King Midgor Ireheart. Despite my disappointment, I want to thank those people for giving me the chance to perform the duties of this office. I had envisioned my presiding as Grand Merchant for stone weeks upon stone weeks, bringing honor and wealth to both my clan and Kingdom. This is very painful for me, having come this far only to back away, but its something I must do. I will be departing the city in the morning to head into the mountains, where I will be able to have quiet contemplation. Deepest Apologies, Vondan Frostbeard OOC I'm out. I'm too old to be fighting with people over pixels and I've not been overly fond of playing a dwarf. Additionally, since I've became Grand Merchant I've become even less fond of the dwarven community. I joined the dwarven community with an unrealistic expectation of it and quickly became disillusioned and bitter. However, I can say that I tried it and have grown from the experience and have had the honour and privilege to meet some interesting people. I apologize profusely over the fact that I'm resigning within a week of being given this office in character and that I will be putting more of a work load on Bloodnight and Charles_Grimlie until they find my replacement. EDIT: I'm not leaving LotC, just the dwarves.
