Introduction
For Clan and Kin
Welcome to yet another CK2 Dwarf Quest, because we could never have enough, in which you are tasked to guide your clan, to rebuild you Hold and to stand against any foe; and don't sleep easy, the enemy is always lurking around ready to attack you.
Your eyes have never seen something like that, a divine view, a peak of black stone stands out tall amongst the mountains; obscuring with its shade a great valley covered by a thingaz of pines, and at its center a lake of pure water of silver like colour. Truly this place must be blessed by Valaya, for only Her could make life sprout in such way. With the location of the valley and the peak inscribed into your mind you start your march down the slopes and onto the low hills until you reach the clan momentary dwellings. Once there you decide to convocate the Elder and Longbeards to give them the good news "The rangers where right, I found the valley they spoke about, it's seems a good location for the founding of our new Kazad" at your words they grumble about finally having stone over their heads and how the sun as already started to affect the youngling. That night the clan rejoice and feast at the good news and, at the break of dawn, they start the march towards the peak; and once there, they quickly start to establish an encampment, while you once more reunite whit the Elder in order to decide which road to take to assure the best for the Hold.
Your former Hold has fallen in the hands of the enemy and while you have sworn an oath to recapture it, it will take time before you can amass the wealth and the throng necessary for such venture, and so for the time being you must rebuilt your forces and gather allies for the day of reckoning, but be careful not to rush towards the enemy, it will take decades or even century before you are ready for such endeavour. The death of your father left you as the Thane of the clan and while trained, you are not yet ready for such burden but you cannot fail, thanks to the Ancestor you are guided by the last Elder of your clan and by the Longbeards; or you will be as soon as you are capable to understand what they mean with their grumblings.
For the stat I am partially inspired by Mad0Slayer which means that your stats cannot be above 25 and cannot be below 5 without considering active and passive buff and malus
Traits can raise or lower the stats and be careful because trait can be evolved by rolls, decision and by omake
Finally the first omake gives a +10 to the rolls while the second and third gives a +5
You are (insert Thane name) Thane of the Clan (insert Clan name) of ( insert Hold name) but before being a Thane you have spent your years as a:
.Warrior: You are a proud member of the throng and the way of the az and shield are what you know best. +5 to military rolls. Weapons proficiency Az and shield 15, Crossbow 10
.Diplomat: Despite knowing your ways around weapons you always prefer to speak before striking. +5 to diplomatic rolls. Weapons proficiency Az 10
.Mason: You are what build the Karaz Ankor and as such you have a keen mind and strong arms. +5 to stewardship rolls. Weapons proficiency Hammer 10
.Ranger: You spent your time outside the hold under the cruel sun warning your kin of approaching foes. +5 to intrigue rolls. Weapons proficiency Crossbow 15, Az 10
.Engineer: You make the wonder that make the Karaz Ankor into the greatest realm of Mallus. +5 to learning rolls. Weapons proficiency Crossbow 20
.Priest: Grugni,Grimnir, Valaya watch over us and give us the strength to cast down your enemy. +5 to piety rolls. Weapons proficiency Az 10
After a long night spent trying to decipher the Longebeards rumblings you turn to the elder in search of his opinion, and so speak:
Burloth Stonebrow: a renown warrior and leader of the throng, his feat are sung at every fest and the list of champion felled by him is longer than his beard. +1 military action. 18 Martial. 20 Az and shield
Hadra Fairplaits: a Kvinn whit white hair, she has always been the voice of reason within the clan, also she produce a fine ale if you say so. +1 diplomatic action. 15 Diplomacy. 15 Az
Snorri Goldenhand: a one armed Dawi that has travelled across the Karaz Ankor in search of fortune, he knows every ways of making money there is in the world. +1 stewardship action. 17 Stewardship. 10 Hammer
Ragni True-Eyes: this old ranger is not a member of your clan but you always remember him being and advisor of your father, he used to give you piece of stone bread. +1 intrigue action. 15 Intrigue. 16 Crossbow 12 Az
Yorri "The Mad": the last Rune Smith of your clan, he seem touched but in what way you are not sure, he has an obsession with slapping people with troll's tongue. +1 learning action. 20 learning. 10 Crossbow
Elga Grobi-Nutter: a priestess of Valaya who seems to keen on going to battle, she says it because she found easier to heal the wazzock so stupid to be wounded so easily, but you think otherwise. +1 piety action. 15 Piety. 20 Az
And so the Elder speak " cease your babbling and listen well : yes our thane is young and untrained for this, but he has found us a good place where to rebuild our clan and with the death of his father and elder brothers there is no one of the royal line left alive to guide us so I repeat, cease and listen to what he has to say" within the tent fell a miraculous silence as you rallied your thought about what to say in order to obtain their support. "you say that I am to young, to inexperienced to lead the clan; and you are right but I'm also a Dawi, a son on Grugni, I'm made of stone and as stone I will stand between our Kin and our enemy so I ask you to grant me your expertise and experience so that our clan may thrive in this difficult times; and remember for as young as I may be, I am also:

Defense. In. Distance.
Also, having just been driven out of of one hold, we have an even stronger incentive then normal dawii to focus on defense.

this gives us buildings, wealth & dawi. all other things are created used these resources. thus, this should be priority right now.

general idea:
- get advisors
- work further on stewardship
- having an entrace is both a defense & a shelter, start workin on that right away.
- if the 'extra option' on stewardship is not immediatly available, replace personal action learning with extra action, so we build the damm hall.
- find out if there are any threats immediatly nearby.
small corrections:
otherwise, promising start
