THE GREAT WAR OF FAILOR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvf16EBUmlY The Descendants, a weary and displaced group of people, had fled from their ancestral homes in Nyrheim, seeking solace and sanctuary in the lands of Failor. Alas, their hopes of finding refuge were shattered as they discovered that old Norlandic traitors had emerged on the northern fringes of the isle. These wayward souls, once banished from the great Realm of Norland for their betrayal, lack of loyalty, and honor. They had committed heinous acts, assaulting their fellow Norlanders and rebelling against the crown. Their treachery had cost them dearly, as they were mercilessly slain and expelled from their dwellings. However, the peaceful serenity of Failor was now disrupted by unsettling accusations brought forth by the Wee Folk. These tales painted a picture of even more grotesque and unspeakable atrocities committed by the traitors. Stories of newborn infants being consumed, the brutal disembowelment of pregnant women and their innocent babies, and the defilement of sacred idols dedicated to the revered Father began to circulate, fueling the flames of outrage and igniting a call to arms. Such abominable actions were deemed unforgivable and demanded swift retribution in the form of war. In the midst of this turmoil, a young and courageous figure named Balon Eiriksson emerged. As the son of Chieftain Thor, he possessed the spirit and determination of his lineage. Balon, alongside his loyal brothers and the valiant kinswoman Hilda Freysson of the Brotherhood of the Flame, took it upon himself to gather a makeshift warband, uniting his fellow Norlandic warriors. Far to the south of Failor, they gathered whatever weapons and armor they had managed to salvage from their former homeland of Nyrheim. With determination burning in their hearts, the warband embarked on a perilous journey, driven by a singular purpose—to bring an end to the reign of these traitors and restore peace and justice to the lands they hoped to call home. As the Norlandic force marched, they called upon all the Honest, Fair, Noble, Just, Honest, and Good Peoples of Failor (also Honest) to rally to their side. All those who were wronged and wished for justice were more than welcome to join their righteous fight against the Redclyfians.

Settlement PRO MC Name: sneakybandit Settlement Name: Khron’Hundmar, (The Iron Hills) Proposed Settlement Locations (Highlight 3 on the map): (If That location does not work any of the other unclaimed northern hills will do) Settlement Lore (could include previous roleplay posts showing involvement with the community) (1000 words minimum): For over a century, there has been a constant political dichotomy within The Grand Kingdom of Urguan, which splits the dwarven people. One seeks to use force and military might to ever expand the Kingdom’s influence beyond its borders, either through intimidation of weaker nations or outright conquest. The other seeks to enrich the dwarven people by returning to the ancient traditions of Creation, ignoring the distractions of the outside world in favor of enriching dwarfdom. Although opposites, these two ideological groups were long held together in a careful balance, bound by the fact that despite their differences, they were all still Dwarves. However, in recent times, this balance between the two has been fractured. With the hostile takeover of The Grand Kingdom by Bakir Ireheart, and the subsequent deterioration of Dwarven Culture, defamation of dwarven servants, and persecution of all those who would try to correct this path, unrest has begun to grow within Urguan. It manifests in the worst forms imaginable: kinslaying, heresy, and hatred. As time marches on, all hope of saving Urguan seems to fade. Yet, in the far Northern reaches of Almaris, a new glimmer of hope is found. Located in the Northern reaches of Almaris, the Dwarven Colony of Khron’Hundmar first came into conception when the late Mafraedon Irongrinder then prospecting for Yemekar’s Workforce in the north discovered an ideal location for a potential colony, for in the depths of the earth teemed vast veins of ore. Before his death, Mafraedon returned to Urguan, bringing news of this untapped bounty to his kinsman Darek Irongrinder. However, what Mafraedon simply saw as an opportunity for greater wealth, Darek and his companions saw as a potential new home for themselves and all the like minded dwarves who were all disgruntled with the current state of affairs in the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Now, they venture northwards as one united people, seeking to carve a new legacy and new existence out for themselves; a legacy that is not mired in continual warmongering and violence, but that glorifies the gods and the ancestors with acts of creation and kinship. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/216582-strike-the-earth/ Settlement Government Structure Explanation: At its beginning Khron’Hundmar will be led by the Lord Overseer, the dwarf who led the initial expedition. The Lord Overseer will have absolute authority over the region, but at his discretion, the Lord Overseer will appoint lesser overseers to manage the organization of the citizens and the construction of new expansions. However, as the society becomes more established, new laws and a new system of government will be developed at the discretion of those who make up the settlement. The ultimate goal is that the governmental structure will evolve naturally, through roleplay, in order to meet the needs of the people. Settlement Builds and Infrastructure (photos required): We plan on building our settlement in small chunks at a time, and so the screenshots below are only of the initial paste we have planned. We will be expanding as time goes on and expanding our settlement. https://imgur.com/a/TToB8sF How does this settlement offer a unique niche not already found in an existing polity on the server?: This new settlement seeks to meet two specific needs, both of which are not yet met by other settlements. First, is to create a new dwarven settlement that is heavily focused around crafting and cultural roleplay Secondly, is to explore a new method of physical settlement development, which is driven by roleplay, which we have been affectionately calling ‘Dwarf Fortress Mode’. Basically, our settlement will start with the bare minimum needed for dwarves to establish a hold, a mine & forge, along with some smaller halls for people to keep their belongings. Anything beyond this will require proper roleplay to precede the pasting in of a build addition. The goal is to roleplay the construction of each and every new hall, building, tunnel, or any other addition to the structure. Which buildings and expansions will be built next will be decided through a popular vote of all the members of the settlement, who will then organize to gather materials and create the building in role play before its pasted in. How does your settlement tie to the greater lore and narrative set by the community on LotC?: This settlement is being founded by a collection of dwarves, many of whom have long served as leaders in the Dwarven Community, who have become tired of the ideological and spiritual divide within the kingdom. Several previous attempts have been made to revive Dwarven culture and refocus the society around internal improvement, yet at every turn The Grand Kingdom has been dragged into external conflict. Now, after centuries of fruitless labor and continual deterioration, these dwarven leaders have made the difficult decision to leave the kingdom that was meant to unite all dwarves in order to create an ideal dwarven society. Undoubtedly, this development will cause some upheaval amongst the already established dwarven population, which will most likely lead to a racial conflict, and may even result in a dwarven civil war. It also offers an avenue for character growth for each dwarven character, offering them a simple choice between which ideal for the dwarven people they will choose to follow: endless war, expansion, and grasps for power, or dedication to craftsmanship and internal improvement. Have you ever run a settlement on LoTC before and what experience do you have with leadership within roleplay communities among the current groups of players?: I joined LOTC in vailor and for my first year or two, I actively contributed to / led a minor dwarf clan until late axios where I took up an active leadership role in urguan itself leading the legion and navy before briefly serving as regent. Ever since the end of axios I have held leadership positions in most groups I have been a part of. In places like Az’Adar, Holm, and Ruriksgrad, I helped keep things running until the reformation of urguan where I took on more responsibilities within urguan and creating new communities like the Legion of Mercy and the Dwedmar Corporation. In Arcas I helped found Dunharrow and eventually went on to try to make my own settlement which ended in a failure, though I learned much from it. More recently I have served as the Lord Chancellor or Urguan during the war of the wigs and within the last few months, I have been regent in urguan twice. Do you understand the metrics for maintaining activity and the grounds for settlement removal, along with the standing polity cap?: Yes

I still distinctly recall the day when Emperor Philip I captured and executed Grand King Algoda Frostbeard, and his final words still ring true to this day “This Changes Nothing” Let me offer you the following advice: Frederick King of Oren, open a history book and learn how Philip and his empire fared as a result of his actions, for I can recall the Siege of Johannesburg to this day.

Such an exchange would happen on neutral ground, with an assured promise to draw no blood nor blades.
