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.

  5. Bojakk frostbeard, amidst his musings and his latest album, releases a singular song, aimed at his father, whom as of writing this hasn't spoken to anyone nor interacted at all with any of his kin in over 2 years. His hopes is to help shake his father out of his obsession before it consumes him any further You're Belka's Quill now Ajax all the dwed's eyes are turned on you Now you're upon the tavern's shining stage Everything revolves on what you do ah, you've hit your stride In your old age You can always have your way somehow Because you are Belka's quill now You can disregard your past mistakes and you can turn your back on what you've done Just a little sonnet is all it takes Who thinks about the past whilst having fun? Oh Loneliness will get to you somehow But you are Belka's Quill now Ah, they all want a commission and they await your reply oh but between you and me and Kal'darakaan... So do I.... All the people have learned your name Soon there will be lines outside your door Wrapped up in this fleeting music game but do you really know them anymore? So your life is only writing anyhow And You are Belka's quill now Close your eyes when you're in to deep And stay inside til' everyone else will go Only speak to your son in your sleep Yeah, and run away when you don't want to know You've got to stop this madness somehow But You are Belka's quill now Ah you know this writing won't last forever And you've burned yourself out before Oh but for the sake of clan and for the little people... you adore.... See as all the people turn away Maybe another album will change their mind It doesn't matter how much you pay Anything to keep you from falling behind! This is what you wanted, ain't you proud... Because you are Belka's quill now.
  6. Ajax Frostbeard, having spent most of his time the past few months [if not years at this point] steeped in his work, hearing both the breakup of him and his courting lady, as well as the most recent events of him getting chewed on by bears, and falling into melancholy, adamantly works, and produces this song. Going to personally post this on every door he can find, with as many copies as he can make in carry, taking him the better end of a day or two to do so. Like hell if he's going to let this stand. Hey Bo [Author note: To Bojakk.. My sweet baby boy.. you've been through a lot. Never give up hope.. No matter how bleak things look..

  7. Bojakk Frostbeard, Whilst awaiting a hunt in hefrumm to begin. Dispatches this song to the the remembrancers, and the tavern of Kal'Darakaan Grudge War: Where knife ears lie, lay paralyzed, a brother's beard is gone and his body buried here, shame marked on his grave. Kin at home, receive a message, and shed a tear of grief Hate and blood, for foreign land, no mercy to withstand. Where are these fiends that i've been told? What fools thought themselves bold? Was your blood worth the sacrifice? Grudge War We will not take more! Grudge war The legion's marching on! To settle the great score There will be no encore! Grudge War The war upon your shore! I'm standing here, I know no fear, with brothers at my feet Over there, upon their ramparts, halberds wear my name Lead ahead, as the marshall said, and show them no remorse Who am I to understand? What you will be come. I'll do my duties, pay the price For honor, a worthy sacrifice For my clan my honor is secured! Grudge War We will not take more! Grudge war The legion's marching on! To settle the great score There will be no encore! Grudge War The war upon your shore! And blow by blow you'll pay the price of a hair here Though brothers fallen, we see heroes rise We face the heat As we'll cut you down until the last Upon the stone we shall write our own history Grudge War We will not take more! Grudge war The legion's marching on! To settle the great score There will be no encore! Grudge War The war upon your shore!
  8. Ajax Frostbeard, whilst working on a larger project, releases a motivational song for the legion, in hopes of once again bolstering recruitment, and morale of those serving in our armed forces. Khazad with the Axe From on high Came the Khazad with the Axe! From the lands of our fathers wake Came the legend of our fate The blessing of Anbella has long been parted On the stone of mountain gave To us a home for the brave and our ancestors shan't be forgotten From the hands of heaven made Marching far to parade By his word we praise his holy name ferrum fratribus From on high came the khazad with the Axe With a flash of steel we break oren's back In the mines of our brothers toiling In the fields legion's blood is boiling From on high came the Khazad with the Axe To their destiny they stride Bringing their fury and their pride And the lands of dwed had long been parted Stand your ground for Yemekar's name Out for vengeance and for pain By the dawn we raise Yemekar's Flame ferrum fratribus From on high came the khazad with the Axe With a flash of steel we break oren's back In the mines of our brothers toiling In the fields legion's blood is boiling From on high came the Khazad with the Axe From on high came the khazad with the Axe [From on high came the khazad with the Axe] With a flash of steel we break oren's back [With a flash of steel we break oren's back] In the mines of our brothers toiling In the fields legion's blood is boiling From on high came the Khazad with the Axe From on high came the khazad with the Axe With a flash of steel we break oren's back In the mines of our brothers toiling In the fields legion's blood is boiling From on high came the Khazad with the Axe
  9. Ajax Frostbeard, strangely enough, is posting a song written by his son alone. The song posted upon the tavern door and to the remembrancers, a small note is attached before the song of every copy simply stating "Bojakk of late isn't feeling well... Something about girl troubles.. I figured it'd be nice to publish one of his songs while he sulks... Enjoy -AJax" Fight for your right [Dwarf Version] KICK IT You wake up late for work, jeez, you don't wanna go You ask your dad 'Please?' but he still says "No!" You missed half the vein and 2 hours of work But your foreman leads the line like you're some kinda jerk You Gotta Fight! For your Right! To Party! Clan-dad caught you drinking and he says "No Way!" That hypocrite downs 12 beers a day! Living at home is such a drag Now Grudgebeard threw away your best nudie mag [damn it..] You Gotta fight, for your right to party You gotta fight Don't leave Kal'darakaan if that's what you're gonna wear I'll kick you outta my clan if you ever CUT THAT HAIR Brynaelda busted in shouting 'What's this noise' aaaaah Bryn you're just jealous it's the Frostbeard Boys! You Gotta fight, for your right to party You Gotta fight, for your right to party Paaaaaaarty! Paaaaaaarty! Yeah!
  10. Bojakk Frostbeard, whilst working away helping his father, secretly releases a song for his new courting lady, Finley Grandaxe. A bit embarrassed about the whole ordeal, the song is posted via courier Oh Finley In all the times i've been here You're such a sight, You're looking finer than any grandaxe in sight you, don't know how much that hair of fire sets off in me a burning desire Finley Oh! Finley! My heart throbs again Oh! Finley Is it ever going to end? Oh! Finley My heart throbs again Oh! Finley I see your lips and I dream of one day kissing them I never thought i'd be the one to pine for them I don't know if you'll ever care for me But if i'm going to try I know you're the best for me Finley Oh! Finley! My heart throbs again Oh! Finley Is it ever going to end? Oh! Finley My heart throbs again Oh! Finley My heart hasn't been the same since. Maybe it's no good and i'm just asking for trouble I want to know you, but I don't know how to talk to you It's probably no use I'm heading for disaster but when I see you My heart starts beating faster Finley Oh! Finley Finley You're so fine my heart can't take it, yeah! Oh! Finley My heart throbs again Oh! Finley My heart can't take it Oh! Finley!
  11. Ajax Frostbeard, while still waiting for his son Bojakk to arrive in Kal'Darakaan, wrote a small sonnet after having a strange dream of the legion. Taking no time to put to paper, he releases the song to the tavern and remembrancers whilst working on another project to help buffer his time. Out from the hall and far away Hear now the war drums beat again Warning of the marching human The legion go forth in rank I say! To fight out from the hall and far away. Out from hall to fight again The Uruk, Elf-land and Oren! Grand King commands, and we obey! Out from the hall and far away. Oh Come ye strong dwed from the mine! To serve King Norli, who's good and fine! Come into legion to train today! To fight out of the hall and far away Out from Khaz to fight again The Uruk, Elf-land and Oren! Grand King commands, and we obey! Out from the hall and far away. No more do the war dums do beat while the thundering of war ram's bleat The enemies of dwed have lost this day From out of the hall and far away Out from hall to fight again The Uruk, Elf-land and Oren! Grand King commands, and we obey! Out from the hall and far away.
  12. Bojakk Frostbeard, whilst working with his father, finishes another song, sending out a courier to post the song to both the tavern as well as to get a copy to the remembrancers. I need a mina I need a mina, mina, mina is what i need [hey hey] Well I need a mina, mina ,mina is what i need [hey hey] I said I need a mina, mina, mina is what I need and if i join the legion would you give some mina to me?

Well I need a mina, mina mina is what I need [hey hey] Said I need a mina, mina mina is what I need [hey hey] And I need a mina, mina, mina is what I need And if i join the legion would you give some mina to me.

Come on share some mina with me Go on, share some mina with me come on, share your mina, give me your mina, spare some mina for me...
  13. Bojakk Frostbeard, upon request of the high king [to his recollection]. Has written and now published a song of national ferver, and an additional marching song of the legion Battle Hymn of Urguan Mine eyes have seen the glory of our greatest mountain peak The grand mountain holme's treasure of which other nations seek The umri and elgi armies before the urguan legion are weak. Our banner marches on Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Our Banner marches on. I have seen our Mighty legion in their forward circling camp They have builded us a homeland, from the umri that they stamp And with it we have built an empire with the forge and mining lamp Our clans are building on! Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Our clans are building on! I have seen Yemekars fire, upon the Anvil's shining steel As we come together as dwedmar, with the uruk and umri deal! Let the heroes born of urguan, crush the tallfolk under-heel! Their hammer's marching on Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Their hammer's marching on They have sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat We will fell the Oren Empire and break their emperor's seat! Oh be swift my blade to strike them down, oh be jubilant my feet! Our Legion is marching on! Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah In the beauty of the mountains, Urguan sat upon his throne With his children's fledgling nation, wherein it had grown As he fought back the darkness, let us make our might known! While our legion marches on! Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Narvok, Narvok, Hallelujah Our banner marches on
  14. Anbella's Grace - Healuroz Barimmar From the desk of the Head Medic Letter of resignation My fellow medics, my dear clinic and residents of the Kingdom and its holdings, I write this letter with a heavy heart. But, the changing of power allows growth. With a great deal of pride for my second medics, medics and trainees, it is time for a change in the clinic, i would like to inform you all of such: I, Mica Grandaxe, currently Head Medic of the Grand Clinic of Urguan, Anbella’s Hand, am formally stepping down from my position. Like that of my predecessor before me, I gave the clinic my full heart and soul, and expect the same from whoever is chosen to follow in these footsteps. Though, I will still remain at the clinic as a second medic as well continue to train medical trainees alongside my fellow medics. I will be taking more time for myself and pursuits of personal developments. We will be shortly holding a clinic wide meeting to elect a new Head Medic within the next few stone-days, as well as the oath taking, the passing of the axe to the new Head Medic and finally closing speeches. All are welcome to attend this event. Thank you all my kin, it has been an honour to serve Lady Anbella and the kingdom. Mica Grandaxe
  15. A courier is dispatched once more to deliver around the mountainholme the Songs of Ajax and Bojakk. Doing what they can to ensure the quarantine remains safe while also still preparing and presenting their works. This time they decided would be perfect for a song they had been holding onto for a while. A Dedication to the Healuroz Barimmar and Micah Grandaxe.

  16. Just as Quickly as Bojakk dropped the first two sets of songs, Ajax makes him rush out and deliver a third set. Another length of sonnet much like the prior one, equally as intriguing though this one having a backing chorus in the sheet music Khazad Paradise As I sit in the decades close to the shadow of death I take a look at my life, realizin' I have little time left 'Cause I've been sittin' and spittin so long that even bojakk thinks that my mind is gone. But I ain't never raised a hand to a dwed that didn't deserve it Me be treated like an orc, you know that's unheard of You better watch how you're talkin, or to whom you're walkin' Or you and your kinsmen will be hearin me squawk I'm the last of my kin, and it makes me choke as they croak, I see myself left among the pipe smoke Friend, I'm the Kinda D, the little beardlin's wanna be like At my desk day and night , writing songs by candlelight Been spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Been spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Keep spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Keep spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Look at the situation, Ulrah had me facin' I couldn't live a normal life, Raise a kid in this strife!? So I had to bail out to the exile team Too much blackfist listenin' had me chasin' dreams I'm an educated dwed with Urguan on my mind Got a quill in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a white haired Frostbeard, set writin' stammer And if you mess with my clan, you'll encour my hammer Friend, death ain't nothin' but a bad day away I'm livin' life, write or die, what can I say? I'm 563 now but will i live a century or more? The way dwarves last I don't know Tell me why are we so blind to see That our wanten greed, is killing me? Been spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Been spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Keep spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Keep spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Culture in the sonnets, sonnets full of power Pumpen out by the minute, albums by the hour Everybody's bumpin, half them ain't lookin' it's goin' on in my apartment, I barely remember whats cookin' They say I gotta chill, but nobody's here to talk with me if they ain't got no time, when they gonna hang with me? I guess they can't, I guess they won't, I guess I'm alone, that's why I bang out so many song's friend. Been spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Been spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Keep spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise Keep spendin most my life, livin in the Khazad Paradise
  17. Ajax Frostbeard, still locked away within his home, sends out another courier. Another set of copies sent to their usual places, and the last copy pinned to the Tavern. Dwed of the Kingdom have begun to not see Ajax in several stone days now. Urguan Khazadmar [A real Dwarf] I am Urguan Khazadmar! I am the fire of Yemekar! I am Urguan Khazadmar! Fight for our land!

  18. Hefrumm ⧫Intro⧫ Hefrumm is the main village of the forest dwarves, founded by the Paragon Bjor Cottonwood in Atlas with the idea of having a place where forest dwarf culture and unity can be protected. It is led by their elected High Chief, in cooperation with the separate clan chiefs or leaders. Hefrumm consists of the Cottonwood, Treebeard, Blackroot, and Emberhorn clan, together with a few lesser clans and clanless dwarves. All clans bring different traditions and ways to Hefrumm, though what they all share is a strong communal feeling. They take care of each other and share their land with their kin, for that is how Bjor had envisioned it. The forest dwarves live off the fat of the land that Anbella has blessed them with, be it through farming or the art of the hunt. ⧫History⧫ As the hammering from their anvils, the arguing of dwarves and the feasting of younger beardlings would echo through the deep underground caverns of Agnarum, it would be rather quiet above ground where Bjor ‘Sugartits’ sat looking over the remains of his village. He was the current Chief of the Cottonwood clan, though this was an empty title, for he had seen little of his kin in general for many years. The thought of his kin feeling the same solitude as himself would rush through his troubled mind as he would stand up convinced it was time for a new age for his forest dwarf kin. ⧫Clans⧫ Major clans ➻ The Cottonwood clan teaches and follows the ways of the hunt, as they live off it. Besides being barbaric warriors of the woods, they are considered fine craftsmen of those materials they gather from the hunt. Being experienced in their craft, they are often seen wandering down into the mountain to sell their animal goods to their mountain and cave kin. The Cottonwood clan has the tradition to ride fierce boars and wield relatively primitive weaponry on their hunts, using the technique of flint napping. Current Chief: Bodhi Cottonwood ➻ The Blackroot clan is a clan that branched away from the Cottonwoods and now composes the spiritual and religious soul of Hefrumm. Their members tend to integrate religion and spirituality in all forms of their lives. Many Blackroots become seers when they are old enough offering advice and guidance to those that look for it. Blackroots are very proficient with herbs for medical and spiritual uses. Despite not being as welcoming to people they do not know as the cottonwoods, they still believe in kindness to travelers. Blackroots are always open to gain new knowledge from the world around them. Current Chief: Yazmorra Blackroot ➻ The Treebeard clan is the only elder clan of the forest dwarves, having their roots go back to the seventh son of Urguan, Gloin Treebeard. The Treebeards are often considered wise dwarves with their clan knowledge dating back to the birth of the dwarven race. One could often see in history them to be the ones to preach their religious wisdom. Today the clan consists of two parts, the minority that stayed with Hefrumm through darker times and kept true to their peaceful ways. And on the other hand the Leafheart line, so proclaimed by Karl Blackroot, who are known to be more nomadic and aggressive in their ways, having records of their returns every few ages before return to their nomadic life shortly after. Current Clan leader: Thorin Treebeard (of Treebeards of old) I Ulvi Treebeard (Leafheart line) ➻ The Emberhorns are well known as stonemasons, ram riders, and smiths, and have always had a wanderlust within them. They are proud dwarves, but are humble enough to work the farms and reside peacefully in the forest and mountain tops above the Kingdom, wanting for not more than a pint of mead and a quiet existence in their clan hall. Current Clan Lord: Ordvair Emberhorn Lesser or missing clans ➻ The Oakhand clan had their main presence during the end of Atlas. The clan focused on the skillful art of woodworking. Making both rough items and beautiful carvings. Though their numbers were never extraordinary, many of the beautiful wood carvings around Hefrumm were done by the fingers of an Oakhand. ➻ The Boldshoulder clan is a clan of unknown origin, for there were tales that they were older than Hefrumm itself. The clan would have been centered around trade, for which they lived as nomads. ➻ The Bogbelly clan also branched off the Cottonwood clan, founded by one of Bjor’s sons, Horren Bogbelly. The clan preferred the swampy environment more than the forests. They adapted to this new hunting ground and took the tradition of licking cane toads to get high, though this sometimes resulted in fatalities. ➻ The Pufftree clan specializes in the craft and harvesting of puffs and other hallucinogenic substances. They consist of often lazy hobos purely living for and from those puffs, often filled with delusional and interesting views on the realm as a result of extensive drug use. ➻The Windrock clan, a family that founded their clan under the rule and guidance of Karl Blackroot. A clan known for bringing the greatest of boulders down from dwarven peaks to the village, to create many things out of it with their experience and ways in stone masonry. ➻The Oakfoot clan, not to be confused with the Oakhands, this clan would merge themselves with the forest kin of Hefrumm during early Almaris. In the long absence of the Oakhand clan, these dwarves provided Hefrumm with their nifty fingers for carpentry. ⧫Ruling⧫ High Chief Hefrumm is led by its High Chief. A figure that embodies and represents the unity of forest dwarves at the council table of Urguan. For each clan that is part of Hefrumm, which fit Urguan’s requirements, the High Chief would get an extra vote on Urguan’s council. The High Chief is chosen in an election, open to all members of Hefrumm. Shortly after the High Chief would undergo a coronation where a traditional twigs-woven crown will be passed from High Chief to the next generation’s High Chief. This coronation is believed to be sacred with the blessing of Anbella, and it would be considered highly dishonorable to interrupt this process, showing no respect to the Hearth Mother herself. The High Chief is guided not only by the Hearth Mother herself but also by the wisdom of his clan leaders and elders. Townsfolk Council On the topic of internal matter, Hefrumm will call upon the townsfolk council. Here all members of Hefrumm come together in their mead hall. Just like the elections all members would get a vote and the opportunity to voice their opinion and complaints. During the second golden age of Hefrumm these meetings were called yearly. Council of Chiefs Not all matters could be discussed with every member present, hence the council of chiefs was created. Mainly going over the external matters of Hefrumm, it would consist of the High Chief and all clan leaders of the clans that met the given requirements of 3 active members of said clan. These clan leaders are also known to be the advisors of the High Chief. ⧫Notable Characters⧫ High Chiefs of Hefrumm Bjor Cottonwood, founder and first High Chief Thorin Treebeard, second High Chief Ozneat Treebeard, third High Chief Eerika Cottonwood, fourth High Chief Beorn Cottonwood, fifth High Chief Ordvair Emberhorn, sixth High Chief Karl Blackroot, seventh High Chief Yazmorra Blackroot, eighth High Chief Qrue Grasswhistle, the ninth High Chief Celeste Blackroot, the tenth High Chief Folkloric characters The forest folk of Hefrumm have the tradition to gather around their fire and hearths to tell the saga’s of their ancestors and the tales of the mythical beings. Folklore of Hefrumm is the bundle of such tales, with which the dwarves try to teach their younglings about values and ways. ➻ Mi, the wandering tree A forest troll, befriended by Beorn Cottonwood. Though a lot of mystery would float around the intelligence of this forest troll and its origin, the massive beast and the forest dwarves helped each other multiple times. Mi was mainly a help in fighting off the alar plague of Arcas both with his brutal strength, as Beorn rode the beast to battle and his knowledge on the creature. ➻ Grogg, the protector A golem that was believed to have been tasked to protect the forest dwarves of Hefrumm. The massive construction frequently patrolled the village during Bjor’s era. The golem has not been seen in years, however, it is believed that in Hefrumm’s time of need the golem will show himself once more to protect the forest folk. ➻ Snowball, the snow demon Once a dwarf, the child eating creature is believed to return after death. This led to the theory of him being a spawn of Khorvad himself. Under Beorn’s ruling the creature was captured and held in captivity with the idea, if we can’t take his life we must take his freedom. ➻ Silvernips The silvernips are little silver haired tiny gnome like beings that steal food from animals, and steal resources from chests. These beings also have a tendency to take the hay from forest dwarf farms for which they are hated. ⧫Villages⧫ Dol’Tazarak (Village of Unity) The first of Hefrumm’s villages, born from what was once the Cottonwood village, Dol’Tazarak laid within the southern valley of the lands of the Confederation of Hammer, later to become Agnarum, during the age of Atlas. The majority build by the hands of the young Bjor Cottonwood, in his solitude and absence of kin. The village was modest yet more than what most of his kin knew, being children of the forests and hills. The name Dol’Tazarak refers to the first unity to be formed of their kin, a unity needed by their kin and promising for the years to come. Though being small and modest the village was self-sufficient, farm lands covering the lands of Hefrumm, blessed by the temple of the hearth, higher up the mountain. ➻Temple of the Hearth At the arrival of the first Treebeards of Hefrumm, lead by Ozneat, they did not only bring their knowledge the Brathmordakin but also the will to provide Hefrumm’s lands with a temple for their Hearth Mother Anbella. On the southern side of Azgaryum’s mountains, there stood this temple. Religious ceremonies and teachings were held there by the Treebeards. ➻The roofless brewery Bjor and his kin had a demand for ale, which was answered by Muradir Deeproot. He was the first brewer of Hefrumm, building by his bulky hands the brewery that stood in the midst of Dol’Tazarak. ➻Mossbeard’s groove Being the home of the legendary Root Druid, the groove was filled with clouds of pollen and spores. At the end of this groove there stoop a massive mushroom, mighty in its appearance and crowned by a hole in the ground, letting through the sun’s light. It was here that the crown of Hefrumm was created by the mystical Mossbeard. Dol’Kronos (Village of the Legend) On the realm of Acras, the village Dol’Kronos was build for the kin of Hefrumm. The village being far greater compared to Dol’Tazark, it stretched across the entire southern valley of Kal’Evraal, with their wheat fields running over the hilltops. Thorin Treebeard was the one to first name the village, translating to Village of the Legend, in honor of his fallen father who had built the village, Bjor Cottonwood. ➻Dverga eron da Kirkja Rhun Founded by Karl Blackroot the Dverga eron da Kirkja Rhun offers a slightly unique view on the Brathmodrakin and its practice compared to that of the Da Kirkja Dverga. The order is formed by the seers, who teach those willing often through more tribal rituals and ceremonies, in which psychedelics would often come to use. Seers are individuals that have proven themselves able and responsible enough to be verified as a seer. Knowledgeable and in control of his emotions the Seer guides communities to be closer with the Brathmordakin and to try to be an example of a good dwarf. For this reason it is recommended that each clan has a Seer which the clan members can come to in their times of need for answers and guidance. The seers also have more of an eye for the world around them, believing the Brathmordakin bring the dwarves signs and messages through the natural world. ➻Puffden Qrarm, also known as the Puff uncle, was the one to bring the usage of drugs or puffs to the village of Hefrumm. The puffden was founded by Qrarm functioning as a center of puff usage and trade. Some would refer to the den as Qrarm’s drug basement, other’s a heaven of pure relief and joy, either way, you get the best puffs there. ➻Khaz’ur’Yemkadar Also known as the Hall of Creation, Khaz’ur’Yemkadar would be the hall under which the craftsmen and women of Hefrumm would unite their craft. It would be here that all knowledge of the forest dwarven crafts would come together. The forest folk would teach each other there, hold lessons, and sell their goods under a common name and most importantly find company during the long hours of their work. The Cottonwood clan would mainly supply the one to conduct the working of animal materials like their hide and bones, together with the craft of flintknapping. Though there are also forest dwarves highly experienced in woodworking, tailoring and other crafts. ➻Tavern The tavern of Hefrumm is the place the forest dwarf would dwell after a long day of work. Serving the legendary Cottonwood Honeybeer, brought over from Atlas, it would attract many townsfolk and travelers. After Bjor’s death, and the running dry of their honeybeer barrels, the tavern would fall to ruin. It was during the second golden age the tavern would serve ale again. Nabrick Grandaxe would be the first to start serving drinks once again, though swiftly followed by other helping hands. ➻Library Founded by Horren Bogbelly during the age of Bjor, the library of Hefrumm is a collection of the wisdom and knowledge beyond simply the dwarven world, situated in between the roots of the tree of ancestors. Though what the library is most visited for, are the books on the history of the forest dwarves. During the war with the orcs, the library functioned as a hide away if needed, which would result in other facilities, like the Paragon hall, being build. ⧫Relics⧫ Crown of Hefrumm The wooden crown appears to be made out of a single piece of thick tangled dark oak root. It has two distinctive sides, one looks fresh and green, the other seems to be a bit decayed and covered in moss. On the front side there appears to be a story carved into it - A dwarf coming from the woods, who will then work the land, eating the fruits he grew. More other dwarves will begin to gather around him. Eventually he is handed a wooden Crown and made King of the Forest Dwarves, under this image with the name 'Bjor' be carved. Few would know that a nature elemental phoenix's feather has been added into the heart of the wood, giving the crown strange properties. ~The unnamed village of Hefrumm, during the age of Almaris~ Credits to Mateolog for helping me with the english <3.
  19. ~ Where The Forest Reaches The Mountain ~ [!] An invitation would hang on the Notice Board of Urguan and Tree Trunks of Hefrumm. A detailed drawing of the Dwarven Mountainside covered by a forest. The first decade of Almaris has proven abundant for the prodigious mountain ranges and vast forests of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Hefrumm, the village of the forest dwarves, now being closer than ever to the capital city, Kal’Darakaan, has brought a great merge of culture between all of Yemekar’s children. A testament to the fruitful future of all Kazad’mar, Belka has now brought forth a union of Agnarumm and Hefrumm through marriage. Rarely is there time for revelry and joy in the world of politics, more often than not when one takes on a role to serve their people, their life is dedicated to duty and compromise. The High Chief of Hefrumm proves that this though, is not always the case. With Anbella’s guidance, she has found immense joy in caring for her people, guiding lost forest dwed home, and leading Hefrumm into an age of prosperity. With her duties firmly devoted to the future of all Hefrumm, the High Chief’s prospects of a family life have led her to a lengthy courtship with a charming Agnarumm. Most days spent welcoming guests from behind the bar or knees deep in fermented ale, the Iron Baron of Urguan has dedicated his life to serving the patrons of the Queen’s Bounty and crafting the unique brews he devises deep within the Grandaxe Clan Hall Brewery. He helps guide the nation towards prosperity through The Brewers’ Guild of Urguan, training the next group of Kazad’mar in the art of brew making. When The Iron Baron was blindsided by Belka’s blessing he quickly found himself elated at the prospect leading him into a lengthy courtship with an alluring Hefrumm. After many years, the two have decided to join together in marriage under the eyes of the Brathmordakin. The Marriage between The High Chief of Hefrumm, Chief of the Blackroot Clan, and Seer of the Brathmordakin, Yazmorra Blackroot, and The Iron Baron and Grand Brewmaster of Urguan, Levian’Tol Grandaxe will take place within the halls of Kal’Darakaan with the ceremony being held inside The Temple of The Worldmaker. The revelry is not limited to just the Kazad’mar of Urguan, but the invitation extends to all those across Almaris who wish for good food, great drinks, and better company. To begin the celebration, prior to the ceremony, the couple will participate in a Lover’s Brawl in the Grand Arena of Kal’Darakaan. A tradition of Da Seers Eron Hefruth, the brawl will symbolize Belka’s blessing of strength in love. Following the duel, the pair will freshen up and make their way to Temple for the wedding ceremony. With an addition of Seer customs to a traditional Da Kirkja Dverga ceremony, the pair will declare a blood oath followed by an exchanging of silver rings atop their wedding bands in Anbella’s honor. The celebration will then conclude with a feast in the Queen’s Bounty. Anbella’s warmest blessings to those who attend. Signed by, Iron Baron and Grand Brewmaster of Urguan Levian'Tol Grandaxe High Chief of Hefrumm, Seer of the Brathmordakin, and Chief of The Blackroot Clan Yazmorra Blackroot [!] Several small Wood Sparrows would deliver special invitations to the hands or mailboxes of multiple individuals outside of Urguan’s borders.

  20. i personally want 1.13 and for the devs to focus enhancing 1.13 rather than update to 1.14 with a bad chunkloading, the new blocks are cool but it doesnt replace the chunk loading, we cant move from point a to point b it takes literally too much time for travelling, maybe we can go back to 1.13 with an older save if world corruption is a concern but we cant stay in 1.14 its ruining the traveling of the map
  21. From her hilltop home, a letter of apology appears on doorsteps of homes around the kingdom, In scratchy handwriting crawled down the page, “My dear friends, clan members, proud citizens of Urguan and its holdings, With deep sorrow in my heart and with the utmost grievance I apologise to the Grandaxe clan and Urguan as a whole. Due to a severe lapse in judgement I oversaw the dangers I walked into with my clan brother and beardling Bjorn Grandaxe. Thus, he paid the ultimate price for my poor judgement. And with that i accept any and all punishments for this most shameful of mistakes. Though my condition is not the best, I am willing and open to all questioning from relevant parties, including and not limited to; The High Council and its members, The Medical Guild, The Grandaxe family as a whole. From there I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to the Frostbeard clan and their member Ulfric Frostbeard, for bringing me home and healing me after the incident. Without his quick thinking and strength i would not be here today. I would also like to extend the similar sentiment to the Grimgold clan and its member Valandrys Grimgold, without her extensive medical expertise and calmness I would be more afflicted by my burns. I thank the kingdom as a whole for their time and patience. Apologies again, Mica Grandaxe Below the main text in semi neat printed handwriting. If you are looking to question mica please send a bird or visit her at H-7, hefrumm. Please give her ample time if she is summoned to a meeting as she is unable to move quickly for the time being.
  22. Campaign of Durorn Ireheart INTRODUCTION When the rare new dwarf walks into our Grand Kingdom, all they see is a ghost town. Our halls run empty and the hum of hammers against steel ring silent. Our Grand King has been absent, and no member of the council beyond Dhaen Grandaxe has moved to fill this void. Urguan needs someone with fresh ideas, not weighed down from the past of previous administrations. Not weighed down from the ideas of what can, or will not be. I believe this individual is me, Durorn Ireheart, who holds the initiative to bring a return to stability and a potential golden age for the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. It is time for Urguan to stamp its mark back into international affairs, it is time for Urguan to take back control. It is time for Durorn Ireheart. GUILDS THE WORKER’S GUILD: The worker’s guild is the backbone of Urguanian society. Without the workers of Urguan we are nothing. Their daily contributions are what keeps the Grand Kingdom progressing and prepared for any event. For this reason, the Worker’s Guild should be given jurisdiction over all resource gathering activities such as mining, woodcutting, farms, stables and animal pens. To cage up the Worker’s Guild to only the mines would lead to inefficiencies in our logistics and stockpiling. In terms of support, the Worker’s Guild should work alongside the Grand King and the council to ensure that the Worker’s of Urguan are treated and compensated fairly for their contributions to the Grand Kingdom. I myself had humble origins in the Worker’s Guild as both a miner and a smith, I empathize with those who work so hard to keep our nation afloat. THE CLINIC: The Clinic is a necessity in our nation for it heals the sick and wounded, and more importantly our wounded warriors. The Clinic allows for new facets of work for dwarves to delve into. In order to foster the curiosity of new medical staff, I wish to work closely with Mica Grandaxe, the Head of the Clinic, to create a Medical School for Urguan. So outsiders and dwarves alike can come to Urguan and seek medical teachings from some of the best medics in the world. The Clinic also has an international aspect to it. Our ally, Haense, is renowned for its clinic program and cooperation between the Haensetian and Urguanian clinic can build our relations with Haense but also bring visitors to medical meetings in Urguan. THE LEGION: The guild that has the most significant impact on Urguanian society and the Grand Kingdom. A nation is only as safe as it’s military and policing force. As Grand King, I will be able to use my experience as a Legion Commander, Grand Champion, and Grand Marshal to make sure that Urguan is safe from all external forces that may seek our demise. It is important for our Legion to be ready and prepared for any defense of our Grand Kingdom. The Legion of Urguan should also become a symbol of dwarven strength and power on the international stage. Joint-practices with our allies in the Iron Accord will only allow us to become stronger and more prepared for any circumstance. MERCHANT GUILD: The Grand Merchant for too long has become a “tax collector”. Back in Asulon and Anthos, the Grand Merchants of Urguan were some of the richest descendents alive. The Grand Merchant was much more than just a “tax collector” and they led some of the richest institutions in the world. This in turn helps Urguan prosper and gain wealth. I trust Dhaen Grandaxe with these tasks to lead The Merchant Guild of Urguan so that we may once again prosper. The Merchant Guild should include tasks such as establishing trade agreements between other nations, controlling the nation’s finances, selling dwarven goods and crafts to other nations, and the collection of taxes. SMALLER GUILDS: Smaller guilds should still be encouraged within the nation even if they are not Royal Guilds. I hope to encourage new guilds to grow and be created. This allows Dwarves with a multitude of things to do and most importantly, do what they enjoy. FOREIGN RELATIONS THE IRON ACCORD: For too long our current leadership has forgotten our allies in the Iron Accord. When I talk to my dear friends in Haense, they feel as if the alliance is only an alliance on paper with no real intention of true friendship. Our allies in the Iron Accord should be valued and cooperated with. I plan to go on many trips to improve our national relations with both the nations of Haense and Norland, so that we may increase cooperation between our nations. More importantly, I wish for Urguan to become the spearhead of the alliance so that we may host meetings for our allies. This will bring visitors and foreigners to our once empty halls of Urguan. The Iron Accord allows us to also cooperate militarily with each other but also allows us an easy way to set up agreements and cooperation between our guilds. The Iron Accord can also help us in the defense of our territory. [OOC NOTE: Due to the low influx of dwarven players from whitelist applications, another steady way of bringing in new dwarves is through showing foreigners our culture and making dwarven RP seem interesting & enjoyable. This will encourage people to create and try out dwarven roleplay] THE THREAT OF EXTERNAL FORCES: To deal with the threat of possible external forces, it is important that we fortify our lands with the construction of forts in strategic locations. This is important so that we can defend our Grand Kingdom against any foe that threatens our beloved nation. We will also need to strengthen the legion, which I will be involved in personally, so that we can act swiftly in a time of crisis. With these precautions in place, we will be able to fend off any enemies of Urguan. I want to be able to protect our borders and be able to hold claim over the Mountains of Urguan and ensure the claims to our borders are not challenged. DOMESTIC AFFAIRS FEASTS AND EVENTS: With improved foreign relations we can work to hold festivals and events so that our halls may be filled with visitors. Our halls should not be empty, instead they should be full of merchants and visitors and become the center of Almaris. I hope if I become Grand King that I could work closely with the clergy, Norli Starbreaker, and the tavern, Levian’Tol Grandaxe, so we can throw the best religious feasts and ceremonies. These feasts and festivals should not just be limited to being held in the capital city, but also be held in Hefrumm. HEFRUMM: As Grand King I do not plan to favor just the dwarves who live under the mountain, but Urguan as a whole. A Grand King should represent all people in Urguan, including the Forest Dwarves. For this reason, I hope to encourage Hefrumm to host events and feasts for their religious ceremonies and paragon, Bjor Cottonwood. Not only this but Hefrumm should be given more autonomy to do what Hefrumm does best. I am not a forest dwarf, nor do I live in Hefrumm, but the High Chief knows what is the best course of action for Hefrumm. Due to this, the Chief of Hefrumm should be given more authority to enact the things that they believe will do good for the people for Hefrumm. Also, the High Chief of Hefrumm is only limited to one singular vote, which is an unfair representation of the clans of Hefrumm. It is my intention to right this inequality, and allow the High Chief’s vote to count for as many forest dwarf clans in Hefrumm that meet the voter eligibility. This will allow a fair representation of Hefrumm and it’s people in the regular council meetings. THE LAND LEASE ACT: The Land Lease Act has affected my clan personally, and my Grandaxe friends have spoken to me about their elderly plight. With Norli as a strong supporter of it when it first passed, it has caused many repercussions for large clans. My clan has outgrown their clan hall and so was seeking to gain land in Urguan for a settlement. Upon asking, our clan father was told to pay a hefty down payment plus pay taxes on the settlement. This forced us to move away from Urguan and find territory in the nation of Krugmar, for free. It seems to me that this deal has also affected other elder clans such as the Grandaxes, where elders of the clan are forced to live in the slums of Urguan. At the same time us dwarves have to pay for land, the Edict was given land for free for their own use in our nation. I will not allow this to happen under my reign and instead take care of my dwarves. I plan to hopefully edit this act and lower the prices for owning land in Urguan for groups of individuals and clans. THE COUNCIL: For a long time now, the council has been a symbol of constant bickering and inefficiency. Council meetings last many stone hours without getting anything effectively done. I hope to effectively wield the council so that our meetings can be drastically shortened while getting stuff done. I want to sit down and mediate a new version of the Articles of Urguan instead of placing the burden on one man 3 times and the system not working once. INFRASTRUCTURE: It is important for any extra mina to be invested directly into the Grand Kingdom again. We should invest our mina into expanding the mines, farms, and mills we have as well as implementing ferries in our port. This infrastructure is crucial for Urguan to develop a bustling economy as well as allow visitors to visit easier. Forts and Defenses also need to be built so that we can organize the defenses of our territory from anymore aggressions that our enemies may plan. I hope to bring life to the dying Architecture Guild and finding a notable replacement for the preceding Grand Architects. THE ECONOMY: Our economy as dwarves should not solely rely on the collection of taxes. As dwarves, we create the finest works of smithing as well as the best brews. We should use our excellent craftsmanship to excel in places like international trade. Setting up shops in foreign nations so that all descendents may know of the quality of dwarven made goods. The Merchant’s Guild will be in close contact with me so as to work with the Grand King to create a prosperous future for the Kingdom. I also want to develop our own coin and be able to not only keep it in Urguan, but also spread it to our allies in Haense and Norland as well as our close neighbors Vaeylia. STOPPING PETTY FEUDS: It is time for dwarves to stand united for a common goal, the betterment of Urguan. Feuds between the Grandaxes and the Metalfists did no good for the Urguan except divide two great clans. Division is not good, and we can learn from our history that dwarves should not fight between themselves, but stand united for a common cause and the defense of our Grand Kingdom. With me on the throne, I will do my best to mediate petty feuds that may cause division within our Kingdom. Durorn Ireheart, Commander of the Legion and Grand Champion and Elder of Clan Ireheart

  24. Bjor’s Notes - Mossbeard, The Root Druid By Beorn Cottonwood Written in the year 1783 (26/08/2020) Historical Remembrancer Record of Hefrumm "T'ere's an ol' wind in teh forust, a breeze rulls up teh sky T'ere's a new rain in teh forust, comin' down so hig'. Ah see teh c'ange, but everyt'ings teh same, and ah dunnae w'y. T'ere's an ol' cent in teh forust, et tenders mah moind, t'eres a new sound in teh forust, it com's frum be'ind. Ah feel teh c'ange, ah'll stae teh same, mahself ah'll foind." A song, by Mossbeard. Mossbeard was a historical character from during the times of Hefrumm’s creation. To most forgotten, to others remembered as the maker of Hefrumm’s root-woven crown. This document, formed from the old notes of the paragon Bjor Cottonwood, will delve into this intriguing character and what role he played in the history of the forest folk. ⧫Founding We know very little of the mysterious figure and his younger year, what we do know starts with the young Cottonwood Chief, Bjor Cottonwood. Bjor had wandered to the lands of Ulrah in search of other forest dwarven kin. As he had reached the entrance of Kal’Tarak he passed a mysterious figure. He was blinded by his goal and ambitions, causing him to have no eye for this dwarf as he wandered into the Ulrahian capital. An hour later the defeated young chief returned from Ulrah’s hall for there were no signs of any of his kin within the dwarven hold. “Ya ‘ave t’eh oyes ef ah ‘awk, yet ya c’ose to bhe as bloind as ah mole.” Mossbeard mumbled with amused laughter as Bjor passed the druid. There the old forest dwarf, of the kin he was looking for, sat at the front steps of Kal’Tarak’s entrance, feasting upon the vibrant red berries, which had grown in between the green plucks of beard moss. Gray spiky eyebrows stuck up from above his eyes almost as if they had hardened through time. He wore clothes so torn and dirty that it almost looked like he had risen from between the roots of an old oak tree. Mad he might have seemed to Bjor’s naked eyes at first, though he carried wisdom for the young chief to soon discover. With laughter, the little dirty figure gestured the bulky chief to join his side. Bjor joined the Root Druid on the stairway, ashamed of his blindness. There the two sat for hours listening to the drops of water running down the dampy Ulrahian gate, woodpeckers hollowing out their homes and beavers letting their teeth sink into trunks of smaller birch trees. Giving the young chief time to reflect upon the current rather than that ahead. It was there that Mossbeard opened Bjor’s eyes for the young Cottonwood was constantly looking to the destination of his travels and the ambitious goals that drove him, that he had forgotten to give an eye to the very path he was walking on and the beauty of Anbella’s creations around it. Years later Bjor brought this wisdom of the blinding danger of ambition to the forest dwarven kin like it was brought to him by Mossbeard. ⧫Residence After the old druid had met the young chief and was informed of his quest, the Root Druid followed Bjor to the old Cottonwood village in the valley of Azgaryum. There Mossbeard would reside, during the youngest years of Hefrumm, in a makeshift grove inhabited by a giant mushroom. Thick clouds of mushroom spores filled this tunnel causing those who’d enter the grove to often hallucinate, adding to Mossbeard’s mystic appearance and tales. That’d be the oldest record of the usage of heavy psychedelics in Hefrumm history, which would later be reutilized by Karl Blackroot during Arcas in spiritual ceremonies. Being one of the first to stay with Bjor’s cause, Bjor often approached Mossbeard for his wisdom and lessons though they were always hidden in his madness and tales. ⧫Crown Perhaps the doing he is most famed for among the younger forest dwarven kin is the making of Hefrumm’s crown. That’d be the crown once worn by Bjor and ever since passed down from High Chief to High Chief being recognized as an official relic. The crown itself appears to be made out of a single piece of thick tangled dark oak root, being bend by the druidic magic from Mossbeard’s hands. It has two distinctive sides, one looks fresh and green, the other seems to be a bit decayed and covered in moss. On the front side, there appears to be a story carved into it - A dwarf coming from the forests, who will then work the land, eating the fruits he grew. More other dwarves will begin to gather around him. Eventually, he is handed a wooden Crown and made King of the Forest Dwarves, under this image with the name 'Bjor' would be carved. Some might notice the bright green leaf-like feather stuck into the heart of the wood. This was the feather of a nature elemental Phoenix which can be seen to almost emit a faint green light and gave the crown rumors of having minor yet strange properties. ⧫Nature Elemental Mossbeard’s most notable companion was the bright green little bird that lived in the mossy beard of the druid. This was a phoenix of the Ligno kind, also known as a nature elemental. With plumage of leaves and a tailfeather of veins, the phoenix was rather small in size when Bjor encountered Mossbeard. The druid informed Bjor that he mustn’t be fooled, that the phoenix once was and one day will be again of great and majestic stature. Mossbeard told the tale of how the mystic bird had carried him across realms and seas many years prior. ⧫Disappearance Mossbeard stayed many years with the young chief, bringing his son Muradin Deeproot and younger brother Nurin Deeproot to Hefrumm, revealing him to be of the Deeproot line. During the years of Bjor’s first proper success in his quest, he came to the conclusion that Mossbeard had departed. All was untouched and nothing was packed, which led to rumors and tales about his departure. ⧫Folklore legends There are multiple beliefs and legends surrounding Mossbeard and his mysterious departure. Most famous of which that Mossbeard was sent by Anbella herself, to be a guidance for the young chief with his quest just like the Great Boar of Atlas had been years prior. Others say that a Phoenix of leaves and vines will come down from the sky during times most dire for the children of Gloin, carrying the bearded druid. Mossbeard played a big role in the formation of Hefrumm, being among the first to settle with Bjor and bing the wisdom to guide the young chief. The root druid taught the kin of Gloin the dangers of ambition and how, if blinded by it, it can counteract the very goals you ambitiously strive for.
  25. THE LEGION OF URGUAN The Dwarven Legion, defenders of Urguan, protectors of the Faith, guardians of the people. The sole purpose of the Dwarven Legion is to protect and serve the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. It is the main military force underneath the Grand Kingdom, and also one of the most prestigious and oldest military guilds. The Legion is known for its notable order and discipline, excessive training and precise execution. Notable Battles Battle of the Ugluk Fort The Legion siege the Orcish fort of Clan Ugluk. The result is a Legion victory and the land is claimed for the Grand Kingdom. This particular land would become the site of Storm’s Crossing and eventually Kal’Ithrun. Battle of Indagolaf The Legion, pushed back from the trenches surrounding the remains of Thoringrad, entrench themselves in the depths of Fort Indagolaf, an underground superfortress. After a lengthy siege, the Legion forces emerge from the fortress in a charge that would route the human, orc, and elven forces Battle of Kal’Azgoth The Legion forces alongside their allies, led by a dwarf freed from the clutches of Ondnarch, make their way through the deeproads and into the sealed city. It is here that Igor Ireheart, wielding the Hammer of Baradin, sacrifices himself to destroy the essence of Ondnarch and free the trapped Aengul Wyvern. Battle of the Dreadfort Human forces backed by the Legion siege teams attempt to retake the Scourge-held fortress of the Dreadfort. With brilliantly engineered weaponry and the precision of the siege teams, the dwarves blast a path for the human infantry to retake the Dreadfort with their very own Commander Borin Grandaxe killing the Harbinger of Conquest. Battle of Vengeance The Legion and forces of the Treaty of Zion participate in an open field battle in the Orcish sands against the Orenian forces.. After the magic of the realm failed and many persons being teleported across the realm and the Zionists dominated the remaining human forces. Battle of Hiebenhall The forces of the dwarven legion defended the Irongut hold of Hiebenhall against the Kingdom of Oren. The fort was unable to be breached because of its strategic location and the might of the dwarven crossbowmen who kept the human forces at bay. Orenian forces eventually retreated for their inability to conquer the hold and their massive loss of numbers. Battle of the Grass Nearing the end of a bloody war, Grand Marshal Jorik Grandaxe and Grand King Balek Irongut led the first defense of their homeland against an Orcish Horde. With overwhelming numerical superiority, the forces of Urguan forsook their keep and charged the horde head on slaughtering all who sought to endanger their people. The battle marked the end of the war and a lasting peace for the people of Urguan. Battle of Khro'Nogaak The Legion, supported by the Horde of Dunamis and men following the good Faiz Kharadeen, banded together to protect Fort Khro'Nogaak from the Holy Orenian Empire. Pushing the human empire out of Urguan while the fort crumbled around the defenders leaving a mere hill to defend on. Fili Grandaxe and others descended down the mountain pouring alchemist’s fire on the attackers and repelling them decisively while outnumbered. Battle of Kal’Ordholm During the peak of the 18 years war, the dwarves had been driven from the isle of Avar and were fighting back on the mainland. After sustaining significant losses in each of the battles on Avar, the dwarves’ morale was faltering. The Empire of Oren sought to claim the Fort of Kal’Ordholm on the coast of the mainland. Grand Marshal Jorik returned from his injuries and took command at the fort. With the help of allies from Vandoria and Dunamis, the dwarves held a staunch defense and, under the lead of the Grand Marshal, charged out eliminating the remaining attackers and forcing the Empire out of Urguan lands. This battle is cited as a key turning point in the war and caused the Empire to entirely rethink their method of attack. Battle of Fort Dunamis After the brutal loss at the Battle of Kal’Ordholm, the Empire of Oren shifted its fronts to attack the stronghold of the dwarves’ trusted allies at Dunamis. Dunamis fort was then defended by the Legion, Orcs, and Dunamis. In a surprise attack, the defending forces sallied out from the keep surrounding the Orenian forces and absolutely decimating them on the field. In the fighting, both the Emperor of Oren, as well as its marshal were killed and the war quickly came to a close. Battle of the Bloody Brothers After the election for a new Grand King, Verthaik Frostbeard and his followers broke apart from the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Following the rebellion, the Legion, still highly trained from the 18 years war, met the rebellion in the valley of flowers, slaughtering the traitors decisively. Although this would not mark the end to the Frostbeard’s attempts in the future. Battle of the Gorge With the Orenian Empire once again at the borders of Urguan in Vailor, the Legion was once again spurred into action by Grand Marshal Jorik Grandaxe. With their allies in Courland, Urguan in an unprecedented manner, repelled the Orenian invaders by taking advantage of the sheer walls of a valley. This marked the first time the Orenian Empire lost a field battle in many years. Battle of the Goldfields In arguably one of the largest battles in the history of the descendents, nearly 200,000 men on both sides from the Coalition, to the Empire of Oren met in the field outside the Barony of Cantal. The Coalition won a landmark victory which would eventually lead to the dismantling of the Empire of Oren and a clear victory for Urguan from the oppressing force that had plagued them across many lands. King Algoda Frostbeard followed by King Bastion Ireheart oversaw the collapse with help from a strong Legion led by Jorik Grandaxe. Ever since this dismantling, the Kingdom of Urguan has had remarkably better relations with any human empire that formed thereafter. Military Ranks Grand Marshal The Grand Marshal is the Leader of the Dwarven Legion, second only to the King. He is at all times expected to be an example to those under his command, to lead with gallantry and devoid of cowardice. Everything he says, everything he orders, will be upheld. Disobeying the Grand Marshal comes with terrible consequences. Commander Commanders are exemplary leaders and confident brave soldiers, they take commands directly from the Grand Marshal and convey them to the lower ranks. It is the Commander’s duty to manage the Legion in the absence of the Marshal, as well as organize training and manage patrols. As well as keeping the entirety of the legion functioning, they are also tasked with leading their own personal divisions. There can only be two commanders at any point in time. Legate The lowest officer rank within the Legion. Thane’s have proven both marital ability and the prowess to lead. Responsible for leading soldiers when a Commander or Marshal isn’t present. Typically, Legates lead their own centuries in their corresponding divisions while being overseen by their respective Commanders. It is the Legate's duty to ensure Legionnaires are consistently working to protect and serve the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Pridebearer Pridebearers are the most skilled warriors and hardened veterans of the legion. Extremely competent in the field, they have proved their worthiness time and time again. Pridebearers are dedicated members of the legion and generally are first to be picked to become an officer within the legion. The Pridebearers are derived from their ancient duty of wielding and defending the banner of Urguan. Longbeard Longbeards are proven soldiers and are amongst the most experienced and disciplined within the legion. Longbeards are chosen from to become officers if there are no suitable Pridebearers ahead of them that can be chosen. Former officers or those who have held the Longbeard rank and above within the legion can return to this rank if they decide to re-join the legion either after retirement or if they were previously an officer who has been demoted. Ironbreaker Ironbreakers are experienced soldiers in the legion and have proved their battle prowess and loyalty to the Grand Kingdom. This is generally the lowest rank from which an officer can be appointed and is done under very rare circumstances as there must be no other higher ranking legionnaires worthy of the position. Stoneguard The Stoneguard are the core of the Legion, who have been placed into their division of interest. They have been trained to the point of competency in their position and are on the path to hardened warriors. These legionnaires are expected to carry themselves with more composure and dedication than the common Castakvel. Grunt A Grunt is the beginning rank within the Legion. All Dwarves can sign up at any time to start their progress within the legion as a Grunt. These beginning soldiers will be taught all the basics they need within their military career. Promotion Requirement Grand Marshal: Selected by the Grand King. Commander: Selected by the Grand Marshal, must be a Lieutenant. Thane: Selected by the Grand Marshal, must be an Ironbreaker or above. Pridebearer: 600 Honor, with the assent of the Grand Marshal Longbeard: 400 Honor, with the assent of the Grand Marshal Ironbreaker: 150 Honor Mountainguard: 50 Honor Grunt: 0 Honor Organization The Legion acts as a singular fighting army though it’s organization is split into a series of divisions who compose the military structure of the legion. The entirety of the Legion is led by the Grand Marshal, who is advised by his two Commanders. The divisions act under their respective Commander and are made up of a series of centuries led by Legates. Divisions The entirety of the legion is made up of a number of divisions. These divisions hold a large number of legionnaires who are grouped into smaller centuries. A division is led by a Commander who is helped by his commanding Lieutenants. Divisions may have established cultures and fighting styles or specializations as they grow in development. Centuries Within the grander and bigger divisions, co-inside the smaller detachments of legionnaires called Centuries. Centuries are commanded by a Legate and have their own individual Pridebearers who act as the Legates second in command. A sense of camaraderie is present between this tightly knit fighting group, along with a developed culture that can distinguish them from the other centuries. 1st Infantry Division: Century ΣI Century ΣII 2nd Ranger Division: Century ΩI Century ΩII Honor System In the Legion, prowess and competency can be displayed through the gaining of honor. Honor is gained by completing set tasks and reporting it to an officer. To achieve a higher rank, a certain amount of honor must be reached. If a Legionnaire is inactive, their honor will begin to decay. Honor can also be lost for foolish activity and disobedience.

Formations and discipline are often the most stressed subjects as the Dwarven Legion is well known for its organization and discipline. Combat Training Military practice is often done multiple times throughout the stone week to hone the skills of both recruits and veteran soldiers. It is also to ensure that siege weaponry is in working order. Practice also allows the legion to plan for their battles, and also to give newer recruits a chance to gain experience. Group Training Drilling (Training one’s fighting prowess.) Combat Practice (Fighting in Formations in Combat Scenarios.) Discipline and Order (Training soldiery) Trial of Combat Before a grunt may obtain the rank of Stoneguard, there are specific objectives he must complete to show his fitness, temperance, and obedience to his superiors. These are known as the Trials of Combat. Stage One: Training The legionnaire will be led through the default training program that all go through. The legionnaire will experience crucial fitness testing through long-route running and swimming, as well as lifting and throwing various objects. Then, the legionnaire will be given basic weapons training without person-to-person combat. Finally, the legionnaire will participate in basic fist-fighting with his fellows. Stage Two: Discipline The legionnaire will be tasked with remembering various codes, phrases, and rules that are associated with being a legionnaire. This is to ensure that all new bodies are appropriately educated in the ways of the Legion. Stage Three: Tactics The legionnaire will now be forced to learn the different formations, commands, and tactics employed by the Legion. This includes the various Vel, Dree Vel, and Aemiz formations. During this time, legionnaires will be able to finally participate in group v. group fighting. After their successful integration, they are considered Stoneguards. Duties Gate Management Is the duty in which a Legionnaire is to protect the mighty stone gate way of the capital. In order to promote camaraderie it is recommended that more than one guard is on duty during shifts. During shifts legionnaires are expected to keep the gate open for Dwarves to pass freely in between, but be alert enough to shut the gates for outsiders. When an outsider approaches the gates, the guard on-duty is expected to ask their Name, Race, Reason for Visiting, Where they’re from, and if they have any weaponry/magic). If they are wearing any face-covering masks, helmets, or hoods they must be removed. If the outsider refuses or fails to answer any question or comply with commands then they shall not be granted entry past the gates. Patrol Patrolling is vital to the Kingdom’s well being be it either; tunnel clearances (when a guard goes into the deep mines and disposes of creeps and critters who may harm the miners) or doing surface checks (where the militant will do tasks similar to the tunnel clearance but on the surface. This is usually the job of a ranger.) Any peculiar sightings are to be reported to the Legion Officers for further inspection. Surface Checks The Guard is to wander about the perimeter of the capitol where he or she will be charged with examining the wall that protects the Hold’s border as well as slay and critters who threaten travelers, any peculiar sightings such as wall breaks, mysterious structures, or brigand presence, is to be reported. Construction Should the nation undertake vast projects, it is the duty of the Legion to offer their assistance, be it in the actual building, or in obtaining the resources to do so. Formations Vel - Vertical line. - Formation always has the leader in front - Line must not pass leader or break form during march - Not default stance when inactive Dree Vel - Multiple vertical lines. - Formation always has the leader in front - Line must not pass leader or break form during march - May be default stance when inactive if numbers exceed 8 soldiers - Continues going down in rows to accompany all soldiers Aemiz - Horizontal line - Formation always has the leader in front - Row will not be used during march - Default stance when inactive if number is less than 8 soldiers Tekom - Box - Formation has leader in the center - Important individuals will be hosted on the inside - Line must not pass leader or break form during march - Rarely used during march due to difficulty to maintain - Not default stance when inactive Thrimmek - Arrow Head - Formation has leader in the centre - Is shaped like an arrow head - Officers form the outer points of the crescent - Used to absorb charges, primarily infantry charges Payment and Legion Bonuses The Dwarven Legion is paid on the representation of active service that is done per year, (weekly) the wage increases as one's rank increases as well thus allowing for a higher income on the well performing soldier's behalf. For legionnaires to receive their payment, they must attend at least 2 practices, 2 officer lead patrols and perform gate duty 2 times throughout that year. Wages Grand Marshal: At the discretion of the Grand King Commander: At the discretion of the Grand King Legate: 24 Minas Pridebearer: 20 Minas Longbeard: 16 Minas Ironbreaker: 12 Minas Stoneguard: 8 Minas Grunt: 4 Minas Legion Bonuses: While the Legion itself is an entirely selfless organization, focused on the protection of Urguan without expecting reward, there are nevertheless several benefits which come from joining the Legion. Equipment: Gear for combat and traversing the land is available to the forces of the Legion. Upon reaching a new rank a legionnaire will be given a brand new set of armour alongside a weapon, shield and ranged weapon of their choice. Gear is obtained from an officer and a member of the Legion may use his armor and weapons in whatever manner they wish after it has been provided for them. During times of war, equipment will be handed out on the eve of a battle if a legionnaire does not have any, however bonus honor will be given to legionnaires who bring their own gear to battle. A member of the Legion is entitled to keep whatever ‘spoils of war’ are obtained during battle. Free Barracks Housing: A new recruit may gain free housing within the barracks for two stone weeks, the recruit that partakes in this bonus will lose their lodging after purchasing a home of any type within the capital or in the kingdom’s surrounding lands. Legionnaire of the Week Legionnaire of the month is a rank granted down by either the Commanders or the Grand Marshal, such ways to obtain this honor is by acting appropriately and showing discipline ((both rply and oocly)), whilst performing diligently and accordingly within the Legion. Legionnaires of the week will be granted double their wages for the duration of the following week. For instance, if you are awarded Legionnaire of the Week you will get double pay for the next pay day. Legion Games The legion ‘games’ is like any other traditional practice, however, not involving any real goal for the Legionnaires to obtain other than simply having fun. Dwarfball Dwarf ball is a game which consists of two sides, each team has 3 players, the goal is to knock the opposing 3 players off of their pitch without crossing the middle line. The Dwarf Sprint The Dwarf sprint consists of a race between all of the legionnaires, the dwarf sprint can take place anywhere, however it is most notable for the mountain races. Beard Wrestling Beard wrestling is a game which consists of any number of Legionnaires (as long as it is an even number) and the way this game is achieved is by tying two legionnaires beards together and beginning a ‘tug of war’ with their beards. ((Each dwarf has to /roll 10, and the side getting the bigger overall number, wins.)) Legion Hall of Fame The most decorated Legionnaires will have a chance at earning a spot in the Hall of Fame, located in the Legion’s Grand Hall. This is no easy feat, for a spot in the Hall of Fame is extremely difficult to obtain. A soldier who accomplishes something worthy of such an honour must receive a unanimous nomination by the Grand Marshal and both Commanders. Afterwards, the Grand King himself determines whether the achievement is considered legendary and historical. If successful, the legendary soldier will be granted a spot in the Hall of Fame. Traditionally, a ceremony is held in the Legion Hall to initiate a legend who will be eternalized in the Hall of Fame. Uniform All Legionnaires are required to wear the uniform suitable to their rank. ((If you need your head placed on one of these skins, ask the officers or fellow legionnaires)) Skins can be found HERE: Enlistment Legion Application Form Legion Roster
