II. The signatories agree to allow trade to flow freely between the two groups. This includes trade of craftsmanship and knowledge of craftsmanship.

Sounds a little too political. 

Ah, a pandemic...really political am I right?

 

Edit:

Question – What is your view on how the current staff teams are being handled?

ngl, i kind of like this

Ivär Goldhand, would get word about these claims through the connections he has. With an angry response he’d say “Ba’! Wot be’ dese claims? Grimdugan ‘as been a god ov da Brathmordakin da same dae Yemekar made rest ov da gods!” he’d slam his fist against the table “T’ose accusatiuns ‘re ‘eretical, da validite’ ov Grimdugan es unbreakable! We da Goldhands ‘ave ‘ad Grimdugan as patreon since dae’ foken one! Tungdil Goldhand was one ov da first dweds tu walk da realms ov da descendants ‘nd be blessed by bot’ Armakak ‘nd Grimdugan. Ef ya’ kin ‘as neva’ been blessed or ‘ad t’eir prayers answered by Grimdugan et  totalle’ means ye ‘ave a bad connectiun tu da true gods ov dwedmar. By nae means da Goldhands will stand ‘nd du nut’en’ w’ile t’ese ‘eretical accusatiuns ‘re boug’t agaenst Grimdugan! Et was proven en At’era, dat Grimdugan gave a gift tu da people ov Urguan! We ‘ave seeked ‘nd found da relics ov our old dae’s ‘nd dat was mure t’an a sign tuwards dwedmar. Evere’ clan dat came tu da expeditiun ‘as found t’eir forgotten relics ‘nd dat was onle’ by da grace ov Grimdugan!” he’d grunt “True ‘erese’!” he’d shout.

I reported the same bug to Llir, seems it was yet to be fixed.

very epic

Ivär Goldhand would read the letter and with a grin he’d throw the letter to his fireplace, before getting up to take a walk. A simple word would come out of his mouth “Nae.”

Hekkaes Goldhand would receive the news about his old friend, with a sigh he’d say to himself “Balden was nae da greatest dwed, but ‘is intentiuns were alwaes guud...” he’d get up from his chair, looking at the fireplace in his house “Wot a loss...mae da gods grant ‘im an ease’ deat’.”

Fat Bastard would’ve been armed with armor and weapons of Courland, payed to fight for the Prince of Courland. He’d guard the city while hearing the news, whispering to himself “What should I eat today?”

The Goldhand Clan

 

  "Born of the First Merchant, Tungdil Goldhand.

  Said to be descended from The Merchant Father himself.

  With Gold and Silver flowing through your body.

  Priceless gems adorning your clothes.

  Coin filling your pocket.

  You are of a Noble Clan.

  You are a Goldhand."

 

The Goldhand Clan is at its core a family of merchants. Those with Goldhand blood have long been amongst the best and most successful vendors in the Dwarven realm, but the clan is not limited to just merchants. The clan includes accomplished architects, soldiers, political leaders, and treasure hunters. Distinguished as a Noble Clan for their accomplishments and long standing support of the Dwarven Nation, Goldhands are proud of their lineage. The blood-bond within the clan is incredibly strong and Goldhands look out for their family and are willing to fight ferociously for their honor.

 

 

Traditions

“Take great pride in your trades

For the Scales of Tungdil shall measure them against your mistakes

If the weight of your trades is bigger than the one of mistakes

Then Armakak shall bid for your soul.”

 

-From the Dogma of Tungdil

 

 

Trials

 

Attempts have been made in the past, by previous clan fathers to implement trials. All which have failed, the Goldhands are known to have no trial, beliving that a dwarf would prove himself through his trades.

 

 

Passing of the Coin Ceremony

 

As Goldhands get older, they will reach an age that will have them unable to continue their duties, for this, the Passing of The Coin ceremony shall take place. The ceremony would consist of the aged Goldhand in question, his clan, fathers and elders of other clans, and the aged Goldhand's specific guests. There ceremony will begin with the Goldhand in questions' walk towards a gilded iron urn containing melted gold, while his friends and family watch. This walk is to signify the Goldhand's journey through his or her's time in this world, to see all of the faces that have helped shape their life. As the Goldhand reaches the urn, the Clan Father shall offer a quick prayer to the Merchant Twins, Grimdugan and Armakak, to signify how close the Goldhand is to joining the Auction of The Dead, and to feel peace in the fact that the twins will look upon them with great interest. After the prayer, the aged Goldhand shall cast their first coin into the melted gold, to cleanse it of it's past honor contracts. After this, a final prayer to all of the Brathmordakin shall be performed to watch over this dying Goldhand, so he or she may pass on peacefully. This is then followed by a small feast, and the Dwed shall choose if he or she would continue serving the clan as a Clan Elder, advising and helping the young Dwed in the clan, or live a life of retirement.

 

 

Blood Oath of Trading

 

The Blood Oath of Trading has been done since the founding of the Goldhands, though, has not officially been known. As of the reformation of the Goldhands, Finian Goldhand has now officially made it known, along with the proper way to honor special trade agreements. To properly create a blood oath contract with someone, the Goldhand in question would need a mina that holds major significance to them, such as a Goldhand coin they recieved from their fathers after their Passing of The Coin Ceremony, their first mina made from a trade, or just about any coin that has some significance to the said Goldhand. To officially begin the contract, the Goldhand would cut the palm of their hand, and place their significant mina within it. After that, they would tightly close close their hand and then swear an oath to the Merchant Brothers, Armakak and Grimdugan, so that if the Goldhand fails, they would be shunned by them, along with bringing dishonor upon themselves. If the contract is complete, then they will receive honor, and once they die, will fetch a higher price on the Auction of The Dead.

 

 

The Coin Ceremony

 

This is a rare ceremony performed only when the Clan leader sees fit. Its goings on are secret and known only to the Clan leader and those who have been a part of the ceremony. Every Goldhand strives to, at some time in his or her life, take part in this ceremony.

 

 

The Burial Tradition

 

There comes a time in every Dwarf’s life when his ancestors call his name and he ceases to walk with his feet on stone. On a sad occasion such as this the Clan gathers to remember their fallen family member. When a member dies, either naturally or on the field of battle his body is encased in stone. This is done before the next sunrise if possible. Ale and tears flow freely as the family member is remembered for his deeds. His stone sarcophagus is then carried to a sacred resting chamber to be placed with those of his ancestors. While burials are a sad time, Goldhands also know that their friend will be smiling and laughing at them from the great halls of Tungdil. If the deceased’s deeds were truly remarkable it is said that they might even join the sacred halls of the Merchant Father himself.

 

 

 

Clan Relics

 

“With the gift of Yemekar were dwarves made

For their creations shall outlive any other living being.”

 

 

The Scales of Tungdil

 

The scales of Tungdil is an elaborately crafted device etched with jewels of many colors. It is not known if it holds any mystical powers, but for many within the clan, it would be seen as a device that would be used for measuring deals and used against those who have done the clan wrong.

 

 

The Twin Swords of Parathak and Krest

 

Although the origins and description of these two swords are unknown, they still serve as a much sought after relic of the Goldhands. It is a mystery what had happened to these swords whether they perished with their original wielder; past Clanlord Conan Goldhand, or if they were bartered off in some trade.

 

 

 

Tungdil’s First Coin

 

According to legend, this coin was payment for the first of Tungdil's many trades and barters, swindles and schemes. The coin shines in the light just like it did when Tungdil first held it, the test of time have not left their mark here. A simple test of one's bite could prove that it isn't wood, nor is it stone. The specific alloy of the coin is unknown, but is incredibly strong and resistant to all kinds of fatigue, corrosion, and wear. While this coin bears no magical power, it holds a certain amount of admiration and value amongst the Goldhand Clan. Intricate carvings have been laid around the edges of the coin, adding to it's beauty and worth. Something of this quality and alloy could not be reproduced, not by any normal descendant.

Housing Act of Urguan

 

With the recent changes in Urguan’s goverment and the rank up of Ogdan Goldhand as Grand Merchant, changes have been made regarding the marketplace of Urguan. Changes to a great future, followed by many other changes for the benefit of dwedmer.

 

With the bases of the previous Housing act of Urguan, I find it my duty to announce that several tax slips’s prices have been changed, with one being added and one being removed.

 

I The Shop Tax-Token, the price of one being at 200 minas. It shall serve as proof of rent payment for those owning a shop within Urguan.

 

II The install of Stall Tax-Token, the price of one being at 100 minas. It shall serve as proof of rent payment for those owning a stall within Urguan.

 

III The change of the purchase price of a Shop shall be of 350 minas.

IV The change of the purchase price of a Stall shall be of 200 minas.

 

V Inactive or unstocked shops/stalls will be evicted. First year a warning will be sent, the second year the eviction going through.

 

VI Finishing with the sad removal of the Longbeard Tax-Tokens. It is a sad thing to do, but something that also must be done. With an extremly small amount of Longbeards within Urguan, the purpose of those tax slips has failed, the difference between a longbeard and a legionnaire tax being only of 50 minas.

By that being said, Longbeards of Urguan will now have to use the Legionnarie Tax-Token to pay rent for their homes.

 

 

With that being said, Urguan welcomes everyone to its realms to open their own business and gain great wealth for themselves!

All purchases must be done directly by contacting the Warden of Urguan!

 

Narvok oz Urguan! Narvok oz Khazad!

Ivär Goldhand would casually pass by that paper, reading it and making a copy for himself. He’d then take out of his pocket, a trinket of Ar Yemarin Anaros, putting it closer to his chest, feeling the warmth of his father. He then puts it back, going on his own path.

Help cannot be forced upon the other clan without Clan Father/Mother agreement. Bringing in help from other clans will not be done without explicit agreement from all leading parties.

Dhaen Grandaxe, Clan Mother of the Grandaxe Clan

Ivär Goldhand would hear the news, remembering about his grudge and wondering what he should do about it.

Ivär Goldhand would slowly nod as he’d hear the news “Mae dis be a new beginnen’ fo’ Grandaxes!”

i return from highschool to see this...

Ivär Goldhand, the son of Hekkaes Goldhand executor of one of Balrog’s relatives, would smile and chuckle at the missive “Lad t’inks ‘e can plae’ by ‘is own terms, wot an insane persun!” he’d shrug to himself.

Ivär Goldhand would also read the Starbreaker missive, from Kaz’Ad’Hekkaes while the Goldhand troops would be training, he’d say to himself “A’, da Starbreakers aswell be’ angre’ at da ‘eretics! Blessed be da clans ov Urguan.”

Ivär Goldhand would nod in approval the missive, with his hands moving acrossed his hips “A’ da great king gave da citizens a c’ance, blessed be da mercy ov da Obsidian Throne.”
