Taher Al-Jameel shook his head in disbelief on how Hyspia threatens Allah's humble servants" If only they had the wisdom of The Sheikh to assess the situation rather than barking like a wild dog, but even dogs can be thaught discipline."

Rise kin of Urguan! [!] the missive would be hung across the city of Urguan, for citizens as travellers to read. -= ⚙ =- The departure of our former King Grelu weighs heavy on our hearts, but we cannot afford to dwell in sorrow. In times of crisis, a Grand Kingdom requires a leader, a beacon of hope to guide us through the darkness. I, Thumbrindal Grandaxe of the Blackaxe lineage, humbly step forward as a candidate to continue the noble work of our predecessors. I carry not only their dreams but also the aspirations of our kin, striving to turn them into reality. Born amidst the strife of Axios and witness to the fall of our Great nation during the War of The Beards, I emerged as a war orphan, alongside many dispossessed beardlings, into the newly formed Kaz’Ulrah. Through sacrifice and a burning desire to reform our Grand Kingdom, I with my brothers and sisters of the Steelheart Culture rebelled against the kinslayer Kingdom. We carved out the foundations of Agnarum from Azgaryum’s depths. As king Fimlin’s High Prospector, I ensured our coffers overflowed with ores and gems, providing luxury for our kin. I oversaw Thumrilgrad with my beloved brother Gimgrimmor, sheltering the Kirkja Dverga when no other refuge was found. I grew up beside my friend Bjor ‘Sugartits’ Cottonwood, I stood beside him in his noble sacrifice against the Alar threat that almost wiped Heffrum into extinction. To this day, I bear the scars of that day as a testament to our shared struggles. My vision for Urguan is one of unity and inclusivity, where kin can thrive together, united against the true enemy that threatens Aevos. -= Unity =- Aevos, the continent we made our home, faces an imminent threat. Yet, instead of uniting, we find ourselves mired in internal discord. Meanwhile, our true enemy grows stronger with each passing day. Our nation’s strength lies not in division, but in unity forged through duty, tradition, and the honoring of our ancestors. The Grand Kingdom of Urguan has stood the test of time, a testament to our resilience and pride. It is within my focus as a potential King to address our internal conflicts through dialogue, compromise, and reconciliation. Let us set aside our differences, bury the hatchet between clans, kin, and residents of Urguan, and forge ahead together towards a brighter future. Yet, let us not forget that our realm exists within a larger tapestry, where alliances and treaties extend beyond the confines of our borders. It is my solemn duty as your king to honor the commitments made by our predecessors, preserving the sacred pacts that have safeguarded our realm for generations. Furthermore, I pledge to forge new alliances to safeguard our realm from threats beyond our borders. Together, united, we shall stand strong against any who would dare challenge our sovereignty. Let us march forward, resolute in our unity and unwavering in our defense of our homeland! -= Our Might =- The War against Veletz showed our prowess and might but left us depleted. It showed its cracks when our beloved former King Grelu suffered setbacks at enemy hands, the Azdrazi. Now, Aevos faces threats from the dark forces of Khorvad. We must strengthen ourselves or risk defeat. If chosen as your king, my first decree will be to reinstate mandatory military service, that being organizing training every stone month, where everyone is to be expected to attend, this will prepare us for when our nation is actually under threat and ready to send our foes to an early grave! Active legionnaires attending training will receive tax exemptions for their homes, among other benefits for the defenders of our nation. Those who fight during active conflicts will be compensated with minas and allowed to keep enemy spoils. Let us show that the Descendants of Urguan stand firm against adversity! -= The Moot =- Our Moot, though cherished, has become chaotic, stalling important matters and leaving them forgotten. I propose organizing it better: addressing topics in advance, giving time for preparation, and establishing a queue during the Moot for orderly discussion. Furthermore, I pledge to prioritize the wisdom of the kin of Urguan, recognizing that while a king’s council may lighten the load, it is the voices of the people that truly illuminate the path forward. After all, who better understands the heartbeat of our city than those who call it home? -= Religion =- Throughout our history, our faith has faced formidable trials, challenges that shook the very foundations of our existence. Yet, through the guidance of our esteemed High Prophets and their devoted Priests; we have found clarity and direction in the darkest of times. However, it grieves me to witness their diminished role, resulting in their unjust removal from their respective seat. It is time to rectify this grave error. My aim is to restore the rightful position of the High Prophet, granting them a seat beside the others that sit beside the Throne. They must have a voice where they can directly address their concerns to the throne and the people. I am committed not only to bridging the divide between State and Faith but also to reintroducing the rich tapestry of dwarven culture into our daily lives, Through the establishment of holidays, celebrations, and feasts dedicated to our Gods, ancestors, and community, we will rekindle the bonds that have grown distant over time. Together, let us revive our heritage and strengthen the unity that defines us as a proud dwarven nation. -= Respect =- In the heart of every true dwarf lies a deep respect for our elders, ancestors, and state officials. Yet, I’ve noticed this reverence waning. Let us NOT forget that their sacrifices built our Great Nation. They defended us against enemies, creating the foundation for our dwarven cities, clans, and culture. I vow to restore the honor due to clan leaders, elders, and officials. To Mountain dwarves, cave dwarves and forest dwarves alike. Together, let us ensure their efforts are respected and appreciated, securing a prosperous future for all dwarves. The fate of our great nation lies within your hands, kin of Urguan! Choose me as your King, and together, we shall honor the legacy of our ancestors by standing strong against adversity, united in our resolve to conquer every challenge that dares to confront us! “BIG BEARDS UNITE!” “NARVOK OZ URGUAN!” RISE KIN OF URGUAN! Signed Thumbrindal Grandaxe, Clan Elder of the Grandaxes, Captain of the Aelsling, Thane-I Meatfists, Priest of Dungrim Gimgrimmor Metalfist, Kazamar’ka’az-I Ithorrym, Lord Thane of Whatever de ****, Master Smith and Forge Father of Drogan’Var, Lord Thane of Thumrilgrad, Thumbrindals older brother and campaign manager

t'ats a grudgin! Insulted oor tavern, cannae let t'at sloide!"Thumbrindal stated in anger.

Thumbrindal Grandaxe began working on new blueprints to innovate on his old designs.

Thumbrindal receives a raven as he reads the contents his trusty companion brought him"'ow do ye kno its teh Irongroinders t'at wrote it, shouldn't ye sue teh newspaper compane' instead?"he'd ask himself before discarding the letter and giving his raven a treat for his good work.

Thumbrindal strokes his beard as he reads the newspaper"curious, wonder w'o is behoind all t'is."

Thumbrindal would nod with Thromdricks campaign missive, before discarding it among the others on his desk. "A good worded letter, but to call ot'e nominees inexperienced, is rat'e blunt, oi believe we a'e luckeh we got young folk wiff a burnin pasion to lead teh nation to a broig'ter future. all you did was name yourself as great, and put critique before teh ot'e nominees, oi am su'e t'ey couldve said teh same on ye behalf, but held restraint out of respect."

Thumbrindal held his hot chocolate beer at hand as he looked at the missive"compared to me close kin t'at run for keng aswell ye 'ave a good wae to structure yer goals, but most of t'em do nae serve teh intrest of teh people, ye were close..."

Thumbrindal Grandaxe smiles as he affirms his support to his sister clan; the Irgards"we get it ye be willin to give yer loife for oos but as Grand Keng t'at privilege will nae be given, ye be guarded by t'ose t'at chose to follow yer."

Thumbrindal Grandaxe puffed a cigar"oh yeah, its commen all toget'ea"

"Some dwedmar impressionism is wot it iss" Thumbrindal commented

Thumbrindal Grandaxe would sip from his sliced coconut bowl as a white raven flies by carrying a letter from Urguan. Within the letter the seal of clan Irgard would be stamped. Upon reading the content he'd scratch his beard as he let out a sigh, packs his things and heads towards Urguan to teach the old ways to the lost flock.

Tharkun Ulfarsson Nominates Dor'Nal for king!

Tharkun Ulfarsson Starbreaker would draw up a sign "JUSTICE FOR DORNAL" He too would pin his movement brooch and would make way to attend the hearing for the Hammerfist!

"Luv the movement" said Tharkun holding his movement pin that he once received back in Almaris.

Tharkun Ulfarsson Starbreaker read the missive while having breakfast and approved it by showing it to his wife to be. "yuuu see diz?" He'd exclaim with a wide grin.

If this gets denied, just take the dwarven race to the backyard, tell how nice the sunset is and shoot us in the head.

-= Order of the Ogradyrs =- [!] A stone tablet engraved with the names of various Sholars, Remembrancers and Golemancers. “By the mysteries of the Ancestors are they given form and strength. By the molten fires and pounding pistons of the forge are they armed and armored. By Yemekar and Ogradhad are they given wisdom and purpose. And by the searing wrath of the Hearth are they filled with the fury to overcome any foe.” - Ogradyr saying regarding creation of a Golem. Order of the Ogradyrs or Golemancers is a group dedicated towards the perfection of Golems that are deemed ‘stone-kin’ within the Kindreds society. With the Patron god being Ogradhad, that stands as a symbol for knowledge, learning and accumulation of wisdom. It is an Ogradyr’s duty to engage in scholarly activities, including the study of Dwarven history and texts, philosophy, and arcane arts. They believe that through pursuit of knowledge, one can gain perfection when they craft a Golem.

@Venomous_Voop Somewhere in the midlands of Aevos, a lost Kaeronin would enter a nearby inn, looking over this missive before crumbling it"sounds gibberish to me, I aint gonna live with some high elves we despised in Atlas, the **** did we reduce to, the sea is our home!"he'd say as he would remove his cloak"I, Elronian Kaeronin, brother of Teclis, one of the first to arrive in Dominion of Malin do not stand this slander of our name and any I do not recognize as kin will be scalped and flayed with their bodies thrown into the sea fed to sharks!"he'd say as he woke up a nearby drunk as Elronian would look back"wot ye look in at, Plebiaaaan!"he'd proclaim before leaving the tavern.

Early morning the snow gently melting away as it was exposed by the sun, some of the light protruding into Tharkun's cabin, he'd gently wake up and make himself some light dwarven breakfast consisting of Pork ribs drenched in pepper sauce with a fresh appetizer of Dr. beard Limited Edition Whiskey. As he was prepared to dig in, his trusty companion; his big blue parrot, would carry a pamphlet, upon reading its content, he'd toss the pamphlet into the ocean, and would carry on enjoying his morning breakfast.
