*Scrawled on the floor of Goldburg in chalk*

I currently have 500 nails to provide for our construction project, and am slowly working on increasing this amount. I am also capable, if supplied with handles, of making hammers, axes, shovels, scissors, saws, needles, carving tools.
I also have to offer 10 copper ingots, some 200 stone blocks, 17 Nalor wood boards, and 10 cherry logs.

Dear Citizens!

A blessing by Irmorom has arrived. We now have a dedicated priest in our midst. I would like to welcome "Andrew Xavier" to our Clan. He is a priest of Irmorom and Bragon and is eager to help. He only speaks the new language, but is eager to meet with Silverbrand's priest to share practices and ideas.

After a tour of the citadel and arena today, I discussed issues with him. I have decided to make a position of "High Priest of Goldburg" with certain duties for Brother Xavier.

The "High Priest" shall be paid a monthly salary.
Duties:
1) Serve as Spiritual and Moral Counselor to the Chief.
2) Serve as Morale and Sprirtual Counselor to all citizens of Goldburg. Confessions to him will remain confidential.
3) To officiate any Religious Holidays and observances.
4) To spread greater knowledge of Irmorom among his children through peace and unity of all dwarves.

His Holiness has been given a valuable Ruby Ring as the sign of his office, the ruby being symbolic of Health and Life. A bow and a kiss on this ring is all that is required to show due respect. He is Irmorom's servant to us to help us stay true and loyal to one another as a family.

Thank you.

In Service,
~Chester Copperpot, Chief

I now have the date for the first event. It will be two dwarven days from now ((Saturday)) in the evening ((10pm CST)) at the smithing hall in the citidel. Please send me a dove if you can come so i can make sure i have enough food and drinks also send me a dove if you do not know where the smithing hall is or do not have a key to the citidel.

The event is a feast. It will consist of a short prayer to Irmorom and a blessing by me the High Priest. That will be followed by a feast with much food and drinks. After the meal is done there will be a game played in which you can win five silvers.

Hope everyone can come.

-Andrew Xavier, High Priest of Goldburg

P.S. After the event I will be free to give moral and spiritual guidence to those in need. And also I will hear your confession if anyone wishes.

Look forward to seeing you!

Irmorom's blessing on Goldburg

Post by Nevearo »

*Scrawled on the wall of the entry hall of Goldburg in chalk in Boat Granitestone's hand is an interesting tale...*

on the 21st of Irmas, in the 24th year, the wall in the northeast corner of the Goldburg forges started making strange noises. I hastily tossed on a chainmail coif, grabbed a shield and a hatchet and turned to face the wall, fearing running into an orcish mining team attacking Goldburg. The wall started shaking, and fell inward to the room! The wall didn't crumble though, instead it stomped around, and smashed a chair! I dropped my hatchet and grabbed my mining pick, something much more effective against stone. I looked at the wall, and by Irmorom it looked back at me! It didn't seem hostile, and I remembered something. Irmorom crafted dwarves from rock, why not this creature? So I watched it cautiously, and noticed rubies were pouring from it like blood, and the creature was slowly falling apart! It was clearly a construct of Irmorom's, and it was part of the very walls of Goldburg. What kind of a dwarf would I be if I didn't repair it, and quickly. I assessed it, and decided if I poured liquid metal over it, the rock might bind a little better, and therefore the creature wouldn't fall apart. I took some coal and gold ore, and poured molten gold over it's upper torso. The creature seemed to absorb the metal in it's upper torso, and it started looking alive!

I told it to stay still, and it obeyed. With it not moving around shaking itsself apart, I had time to gather some coal. With the coal, I melted some gold, copper, and iron, and carefully coated it's body with the metal. Iron on the rest of it's torso, legs, and arms. Copper for feet, and gold for hands and it's head. I also inserted two black stones into it's eye-sockets for eyes. When it was fully crafted, we discussed it's name. He didn't have one, so I gave it the name "Fortification Goldhands", after the wall it came from, and the metal it's hands are coated in. I gave it a large coat to cover the gold in it's upper torso, wolf fur to cover it's hands, and a large pot helmet to cover it's head. I also gave it a hatchet. It decided to explore the world. It is clearly a messenger from Irmorom, and I let it go it's way. I put away my tools, and when I turned around, there was a magical axe sitting on the anvil! It was emblazoned with the symbol of Irmorom!

Irmorom has given a blessing on Goldburg, clearly in support of our new priest!
Praise Irmorom! Praise High Priest Andrew Xavier!

Boat,

This indeed a fantastic tale! It truly is a blessing!

Please keep that axe safe from harm, I would like to see it. We should save it to place in our Temple on the future third floor. It is indeed a rare artifact!

Many Thanks,

Dear Citizens,

Progress is being made. Materials for the second floor are nearly all collected, lacking only silvers at this point. We have begun collecting materials for the third floor as well.

I will try to post the plans for Third Floor and House Plans 'A' this evening.

The Feast hosted by Highpriest Xavier was a success, and very appreciated. It's good to set the pickaxe down once in a while and drink with friends! He already has many more plans for fun activities and events. Help him by attending and showing your support!

During the Feast, I appointed Faber Ironhammer as our new Ambassador to TrollsBane. He will be contacting the Governor to secure contracts or treaties as well as serve as a recruiter for us with newcoming Dwarves. This is an important position, and I am well pleased that brother Ironhammer volunteered to do this. With the new 'Theater' there will be an office below for him.
His duties are:
1) Meet and help newcomers, especially dwarves!
2) Create Peace and Goodwill with the citizens of TrollsBane
3) Meet with the TrollsBane Government to create treaties which assist both our nations.
4) Represent the best interests of Goldburg and Dwarvenkind in General.

We are still seeking volunteers to be representatives to other towns and Guilds on the Isle. He/She will need to spend some time there to perform their duties and be visible. Once an ambassador is appointed, we can pursue obtaining an embassy there as well. The candidate must be reliable and loyal to Goldburg and the cause of unting New Tongue Dwarves together in the common cause of Peace.

Keep up the great work! Thank you!

Project #5
Citadel of Goldburg-Third Floor
"Temple and Library"


Image
I have a vision of a Grand Citadel, worthy to resist our foes, safeguard our treasures and protect our future village. Due to the “Defensive” nature of the Citadel, everything on this third floor will be suited for relaxation, study and worship. We will place all our books and Temple spaces on this floor in a compact, yet usable plan.

Give any materials for this project to me personally. I will be in charge of the citadel project personally. I will continue to get all the materials for this I can.

I have conducted inventory and updated our 'stored' materials for construction.

Let's keep working on raising Silvers! They will be the only things slowing us down!

We are also planning a "Training" Workshop this week's end. ((Saturday 9pm CST)) at the Citadel. We will spend less than an hour sparring and discussing tactics with our Sheriff, Edmond. Come and improve your skill! There is much we could do, but much is dangerous without a 'team' of warriors. Afterwards, Highpriest Xavier will go to Greenbriar to start the Race.

I have also purchased 50 Rabbit Dishes from Surian Silverbeard. I told him to give it to one of you at the Citadel. Please try to get them to me. I still have a lot of wood to cut, and stone to mine!

Keep up the good work!

Dear citizens,

I have concluded a peace treaty with our friends in TrollsBane. Please read the treaty on our boards. ((Page 1)) I have also updated the items in our building plans, and expect a good turn-out for our auction tomorrow.

We still need many hammers and silvers. Please do what you can.

I also look forward to our training and race later this day. There are many new dwarves that would benefit from learning how to defend themselves, and now with our treaty with TrollsBane, we can help defend them too.

Everyone is doing a great job, and hope to spend more happy times with you all soon!

Chester, you have greatly disrespected me and humiliated me, by causing havoc within my own town. And although the tavern is Silverbrand land, and I can't speak yet to the orc incident, it is troublesome that not only my friend, but a dwarf of your stature and responsibility would go about doing these things. You should know well enough that behavior like this is not good for either business, or your reputation. I expect you to turn yourself over, and to answer for what you have done.

Dear Citizens,

No Meeting this week.

Our new Theater is now renovated. There are yet a few details to complete, but the builder is attending to them. In celebration, I am calling for a Grand Opening of the theater with our weekly auction and a Beauty Pageant afterwards. Please come and enjoy the fun!

With the completion of the new Theater, I would like to thank Garius & Tanya Stonehammer and Ragnar Solius. As a reward, they are granted the right to private Home Ownership with 25% of the costs covered. I am also naming the stage as "Stonehammer Stage". Congratulations.

We are making fantastic progress on collecting materials for both the second and third floors of the citadel.

I will also post three possible home plans soon for you to easily choose from and customize. Be patient, it takes time. I am also calculating a "Coin" cost for the homes for those who are not able to collect the materials. All Homes will be underground for now.

After the Home plans are completed, I shall also post plans for adding 'Balcony Seating' to the Theater in 'Phase II'. It will become an impressive feature of the TrollsBane Skyline. ((See the picture in RPG))

The Fourth and Fifth Floors will be the "Chief's Chambers", and Watchtowers respectively.

I am so proud of all the work everyone does and look forward to getting together soon!

Dear Citizens,

Have your armor and weapons at the ready should TrollsBane be attacked. I have pledged our assistance if this happens and we shall be ready.

Please see me ASAP for a plentiful supply of Gynkenese Fire and update your Armor and Weapons needs from our Armory.

I would also like to ask High Priest Xavier if he could write a prayer here for all to recite privately. I would like a Prayer to Irmorom asking for Peace, yet if War comes upon TrollsBane, may he Grant us Victory!

Be wary and watchful this week as the new 'rightful' Government of TrollsBane settles into it's new responsibilities.

Citizens,

I am calling for a Council of War.

We all need to meet to discuss, plan and prepare for 'Strategic' and 'Tactical' warfare. I have many ideas, tips and strategies to impart and discuss. We have planned for this, and now we must coordinate our efforts.

I need everyone to attend, even if you cannot fight, I need to know what you can and cannot do, and help you stay safe as best as we can.

Meet me in two dwarven days in the Citadel. If you do not have a key, Knock and say 'Friend' to enter.
((Tuesday, 10pm CST))

Citizens,

It seems that the leaders of Kallahorn are divided on the issue of their war on TrollsBane.

One of them desires to discuss peace. We shall give them time to do that.

I order that no one attacks Kallahorn members until further notice.

Despite this, the Council of War meeting is still scheduled. Their leader Julius is quite decptive and dishonest. Should the discussions be for nought, we should still be prepared.

Here is a prayer to Irmorom for peace. It is to be recited by all Goldburg dwarves.

Oh Great Irmorom we beseech you to look down on Gobiath and preserve the peace that was once in Gobiath. I ask you to look down on Kallahorn and change their hearts for the better. And we ask you that if it is your will that war come... that you will make our men and women strong and ready to fight and that they may live to see another day. And finally I ask you Oh Great Irmorom that you will guide the new governer of Trolls bane and to watch over Goldburg. For these things we ask.
