From somewhere in the wilderness, a cloaked and hooded blind man stared up at the morning grey sky, rain beginning to pour down. "Truly a miracle and a herald of growth"

A lone Starbreaker stood at the coasts of Urguan, a glowing eye scowling at the ocean. Behind him were a dozen golems of varying sizes, buckets in their hands. Thus did Kazrin bellow out a challenge to the roaring sea, a phrase to rouse his creations as they began taking water from the beach and pouring it onto the sand. "Bucket on, brave golems! for there is a grudge to settle!"

[!] By authority of the High Courts, the Goldhand Clan's Grudge has been approved. Let this slight be put right. The Wronged: Clan Goldhand The Assailant: The Ocean and its expansive depths The Wrong: DISRUPTING THE GOLDHAND CLAN ONCE, by the attack of a Kraken during Clan Lord Dorimnur Goldhand’s 200th Birthday Party, disrupting the festivities and demanding it to be slain during the gift-giving procedures. DISRUPTING THE GOLDHAND CLAN TWICE, by the permanent scarring of Clan Lord Doirmnur Goldhand’s right pectoral during the defense of Aegrothond in the lands of Arcas by a pair of adult Basilisks, forever leaving the mark of the sea upon his skin. DISRUPTING THE GOLDHAND CLAN THRICE, by the removal of Clan Beardling Davli Goldhand’s left foot through the actions of a tiger shark, taken from him at an age far to young for a dwedki during the mining of Ironglass by the Worker’s Guild. Date of Wrongdoing: Multiple Dates, written on the 12th of The Amber Cold, 15 SA Terms of Settlement: FOR the mentioned wrongs, the Ocean shall send a representative to the courts to settle the grudge in a peaceful matter, as the Aurokanar are an agreeable folk. Should no representative be sent on behalf of the Ocean, the settlement shall be paid in jewels and blood. The Sea shall be plundered of its goods and its hostile inhabitants slain upon the approach of any Goldhand Vessel. NARVAK OZ URGUAN, NARVAK OZ BRATHMORDAKIN.

-=On the Irehearts=- In the days before the dead awoke to do battle with the living, the dwarves had carved in their caverns great halls and treasures. But such was the nature of those that linger in the dark, to covet in secret the hoards of the dwarves. Nameless things they were, who saw the khazamar as trespassers of the under-dark realms and so they hassled the bearded folk. Caravans, miners and merchants who ventured into the shadowed places of the caverns never returned and so panic and doubt fell upon the citizens of Khaz’Urguan. For what is a dwarven king if he could not protect his own people? Yavok his name was, who above the rest of his brothers, had the most anger and rage in his heart for those who’d dare spite his race. As slander and rumours spread of Urguan’s inaction, it was the king himself who sent his son in good faith, to resolve this issue. Yavok nodded and took a blood oath to see his task done. This promise was one of power, sworn to King Urguan that by the runes that glowed on his crown, it shall be upheld lest his line be broken there after. And so it was that tempered by the wisdom of his father, Yavok took it upon himself to protect the realm of the dwarves from these creatures, wielding two axes and marching into shadow to do battle with them and swearing an oath to not return until his task was done lest his word be counted weak and the crown dimmed in runic light. In those damp caverns, illuminated only by fungi did he see and behold the full force of the enemy. Large bat-like creatures that clung to the ceiling, though they paid no heed to the dwarf who snuck amongst them. Travelling with great caution, he stumbled upon a massive chamber that held within it, a beast of immense size and power. Sniffing his scent, it awoke in anger and roared a mighty cry that would have struck fear into the heart of any lesser. But Yavok was the son of Urguan himself and with a smile on his face, he raised both axes and charged into the fray. For three days did dwarven sentries report roars and howls of a beastial nature echoing throughout the cavern before falling silent to the ringing of steel. Returning from the under-dark, Yavok strided forth to the throne room with the massive head of what could only be described as a bat, whose face was riddled with teeth and eyes. As Urguan looked upon the horrid beast from atop his throne, he called out to the hall and those who saw and heard answered in agreement, for he proclaimed his son Irehearted meaning he who carries much anger within him. As the title was granted to him, the citizens of Urguan cheered and sang songs of merriment as the hated foe was never heard from again...at least for a time. As the years passed, the under-dark saw a watchful peace as Yavok alone stood vigilant atop the tower of kravamoruk which stood at the border of the under-dark and its enemies. It was under his gaze that he saw a large army of cave leeches mustering their forces in revenge against the dwarves. Seeing the war path they would follow, he gathered his sons and daughters to the tower and began training them. He taught them how to use their anger that was rooted within his line and channel it into a fury that would strengthen them tenfold. And so, unbeknownst to most who dwelled in the city, did a battle rage in the under-dark. Dwarven steel meeting tooth and claw in a siege that would not end for 3 days, for the monsters assailed them in the legions yet the dwarves fought with the fury of ten. Each that fell took at least a dozen with them, large groups of Cave leeches hewn down and cut to bits in their righteous fury. It was there on the fourth day that smoke rose from the tower and King Urguan dispatched a company of dwarven warriors to investigate. Atop a pile of corpses were the dwarves led by Yavok, drenched in a glowing green that held their forms in the dark. These creatures in later years would be known as Cave Leeches and it is rumoured that their loss was so tremendous that their race was lessened in both strength and pride, the fury of the Irehearted seared into their hive minds. After the battle was won, Yavok counted the dead and proclaimed his oath fulfilled, the very one he had sworn several years ago. A dark thought lingered in his mind however, for even with the death of so many hated foes, it did not matter. Great beasts of the deep still lurked somewhere in the under dark and so Yavok renewed his oath. For the rest of his days he would continue to protect the dwarves, seeking out terrors and nameless things to slay… Author’s Message Several millennia have passed since the battle at the Tower of kravamoruk and yet today the Irehearts are still renowned for the fury they wield into battle in their constant struggle to uphold the oath their founding father made during the days of Urguan himself. From the Golden age and the passing of time, many of his line have led the dwarves to countless victories. His descendants would slay dragons, nameless beasts, and even banish Khorvad back into prison. From this Elder Clan of Yavok do the dwarves learn the vigilance of protection, the ferocity of battle, and the bravery of those who would stand for kith and kin. The Remembrancers tell this story as blood oaths are not sworn lightly even to this day and it is to Yavok and his kin that paved the way for such a tradition. To this end does his line still endure and the crown of the dwarven Kings still glow. - Kazrin Starbreaker

"Scribes write it down, another to add to the collection of dwedmar bardic tunes it seems" A smiling dwarf called out to a younger bookkeeper in passing.

Alright I'll an rp post later however just wanna clarify, some knob put 18 dragons but Kjell killed 6. Please fix that stat!

[!] Deep in the halls of the dwarven city sat an aged dwarf who poured over his research. In those dusted chambers walked a scribe who gave him a new book of dwarven history. Several hours later, a smile formed on his weary face as he quickly wrote a small note. “Scribe!” The dwarf called out. “take this to the notice board, I’d like everyone to see it please...” The letter itself read the following ”It is in both my surprise and joy, that I write this letter on behalf of the Remembrancer Guild. To all who see this, I am personally going to recommend you read this tome, as it captures the feel of that era. While not written by any of my authors, I will give this the praise it deserves as I look forward to more” – High Remembrancer Kazrin Starbreaker Stamped below was the Official Sigil of the Remembrancer Guild, a brown owl with inquisitive eyes. Intricate lines of gold covering its body.

[!] Upon reading the notice board in Urguan, Kazrin hurried over to his lecture hall and began to write. Penned by the ink of the High Remembrancer, a letter finds itself to the High Chief of Hefrumm. I address you now High Chief Karl, over the recent events regarding the renaming of the Preceptor Rank . It is true that the history of the word ‘Prophet’ has struck controversy in the past regarding the will and voice of our beloved gods. It is not secret that there have been prophets in the past who have corrupted the usage of that title and its importance. But let us not forget that the word prophet also symbolizes a man who stands as an inspired teacher of the holy word. In this truth, the idea of a preceptor has not been tarnished nor abandoned in the wake of its renaming. I implore you to treat this recent action as an effort to pay homage to the many good prophets who came before and the noble deeds and lessons they imparted unto us centuries ago. Signed Kazrin Starbreaker, High Remembrancer of the Remembrancer Guild Prophet of The Dwarven Clergy

[!] Deep in the halls of the library, a robed Remembrancer smiles as he watches a new generation of learned scribes write and publish their works.

Future DLC, coming soon to a store near you!

It’ll be up within the following week if anything, so I’ll keep you in tabs to keep yeh updated on it when it comes.

As Kazrin read over the post, he wonders what the sages are smoking for their supposed visions. “damn they killed off the very founding father of an entire race in the second paragraph” He stroked his beard and shook his head.
