A Norlandic longship slowly eases into a port in one of the many small trading villages across Nyrheim. The proud red and black sail is tied down and secured as the crew goes about preparations, stowing chainmail and weapons and instead taking out crates of legally obtained trade goods to sell to eager merchants. At the prow of the longship sits an aging Ruric, his once coal-black hair now the color of steel and his former sapphire eyes now clouded yet vigilant. As the crew goes about their business Halstein remains on the longship, his fearsome nord-axe resting across his lap as he sits silently considering his life. More than anything Halstein looks back with regret, regret for allowing his clan to forget their way, regret for neglecting his family, and regret allowing the once-proud Kingdom of Norland to slide into dishonor. At this last thought, a crewman returns from the local tavern bearing news from their fatherland, his cousin Ragenvald had perished and another moot was called. Yet again the moot was to be held in secret, the once-proud sons and daughters of Norland hide behind their walls proclaiming their king in a cave this would not stand for the elder ruric. Halstein commands his crew to return to his longship the ‘Faðirssverd’ while he quickly drafts a letter to be sent ahead of his vessel. Quickly the remaining trade goods were sold and the red and black sails unfurled as the longship left port. To my kin of the Rurikid, In the first moots our ancestors, the greatest kings of Norland, would call all our kin to assemble before the great ashwood trees of our cities and loudly proclaim to their people why they not any other should be king. And yet the traditions of our ancestors lie forgotten and ignored as yet again you call a moot in secret and illegitimately attempt to usurp my chieftaincy without an Eiriksson Chiefsmoot. This cannot stand. I grew up on a small frozen farm in the middle of nowhere, not in a shiny palace with 'halls of mirrors' as my Edvardsson cousins may have. I am not a 'prince', all I have are hauberk, axe, and a steady longship, I am by no means an ambitious man. But I cannot allow our ancient traditions to go dishonored and so I Halstein Eiriksson, Chieftan of Clan Eiriksson and blood of the herald do hereby announce my claim to the Ashwood throne as is my right. Iron from Ice.

as someone who spent a lot of time cleaning shitty freebuilds off the map, i think limited freebuild can be great. Granted a lot of builds end in disaster but dedicated groups and new and exciting ideas can easily find a home with freebuild and there are many examples of groups in the past the have overall improved the server because of freebuild

A fat old dwarf sits by his hearth as he hears of the passing of his friend and companion. A tear falls down his face as he reads the missive recalling the time when his own kin cast him aside, yet he smiles and lets out a laugh thinking of how unlikely it was that an orc would be the one to take him in. "I hope to see you again old friend when i look down from the halls of Khazad'dentrum" the ageing arch-runelord grumbles again before returning to his work.

DECLARED 12th of The Amber cold, 70 SA The moot is an ancient tradition held by our clan, a chance for the ambitious and young to openly challenge the old and stagnant for leadership of our people. Throughout our entire history, the rules of the moot have been honored and respected, never broken until the recent folly of King Vane Freysson. I believed that never again would our traditions and customs be ignored and neglected, yet it seems that I was wrong. It has been brought to my attention that a kingsmoot was called and held in secret by my cousin Ragnvald Eiriksson, hailing from a proud clan of warrior kings. My cousin is well within his rights to declare a kingsmoot, as is every male member of the Rurikid clan. But the moot declared by Ragnvald was held in the shadows, with only a few hand-picked attendees on short notice. Such an act of cowardice and deceit is that of a snake, not fit for a descendant of Eirik the Great and will not be tolerated. Let it be known as chieftain of Clan Eiriksson I declare the following. Ragnvald Eiriksson Ruric is hereby banished from the ancient Clan of Eiriksson. The 'Kingsmoot' held by Ragnvald Ash is illegitimate and un-lawful along with any king elected in such a gathering Furthermore, I declare my full support to King Vangel Freysson Ruric, King of Norland and Chieftan of the Rurikid. Halstein Olafsson Eiriksson Ruric, Cheiftan of Clan Eiriksson.

Darek Irongrinder sighs deeply signing his name on the document. "It truly had to come to this"

Darek Irongrinder nearly spits out his morning cup of Dr.Beard "Scandalous!"

"What a great edition" comments Darek icing his bruises with a pack of frozen peas

Omithiel Institute The Architecture Guild When Yemekar made the dwarven race, it is said they were distinguished over the other descendants and more like him as they, like the Forge Father, were naturally prone to creation, gifted in craftsmanship amongst their peers. While the sons of Krug slap together tents and shabby pallacides in a rush for war, the sons of Malin lazily inhabiting trees, and the sons of Horen only caring to make whatever poses the most efficient benefit, the dwarves, the sons of Urguan, would dedicate themselves to making not only the most useful and capable structures but ones with great beauty and intricate design. We do not rush a building, for it is our divine duty to make what works we do grand, create works of inspired art. That is the purpose of the Omithiel Institute, to help ensure that the dwarves maintain their reputation with the world and its gods as the greatest architects, to make our halls grand and ornate. Organization Grand Architect The Grand Architect is the leader of the Omithiel Institute, headed with the duty of managing the building projects of the Grand Kingdom. The position requires not only great skill in design but the ability to manage and organize great works to be accomplished. They are in charge of managing the finances of the guild. They receive no pay, the only gain for their position is honor and prestige. Architects An Architect is an accomplished and skillful designer, capable of designing works of any scale. They are picked and promoted by the Grand Architect. Architects receive a cut of all commissions they work on. Designer A Designer is in charge of creating the schematics for minor, smaller-scale works. They are in essence an Architect in training. In order to become a designer, they must prove their creative skill and give an application for approval by the Grand Architect. Builder Builders are the manual labor backbone of the guild. It is a low skill requiring job, making it an easy fit for young beardlings looking to find a starting point in the community as well as for more experienced dwarves looking for a quick coin. They are paid by the amount of work done. The Council of Omithiel Summoning the Council At the request of the Grand King, the Grand Architect will summon the kingdom’s most renowned builders along with the king himself into a Council of Omithiel to discuss constructions within the kingdom. Duties of the Council When summoned, the council will be presented with proposed and current constructions within the lands of the Grand Kingdom. The council will thoroughly review any plans and carefully survey any structures already built before moving to vote on their merits. Powers of the Council After reviewing any constructions, the council will move to a vote. All Architects of the guild have one vote, and in the case of a tie, the Grand Architect will cast the deciding vote. If the council votes in favor of a project, it will be approved and construction will begin. If the council finds the project unsatisfactory, the council will offer a list of grievances to the creator and offer an official redesign at a reasonable price. When voting on a pre-existing structure, the council can decide on issuing a fine to the owner of the structure. The fine will be paid every week until the structure is fixed in the eyes of the council. Services Blueprint Commissions The Designers and Architects of the guild are often employed in making blueprints for any dwarf with the coin. The price of blueprints is dependent on the complexity of the order, from the features requested to its size. Generally, a small 12 by 12 meter plot will cost 500 minas, a 25 by 25 meter plot going for about 1k minas, and a 50 by 50 meter plot going for 3k minas. These prices are only estimates, trends, and may vary depending on the specific order. Grand Projects Arguably the most fundamental service provided by the Omithiel Institute is the dedication to doing the work of the Grand Kingdom. They are responsible for infrastructure, military projects, and city projects. Every brick layed, every road paved, the Omithiel Institute is responsible for.
