On Thread Etiquette:

I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

[X] Yes: By tradition, you would be the ranking lord, in charge of leading these stout dwarfs in battle. It is not one you will shirk.
[X] Centre: From here you can cast protective or offensive runes with greater ease but also be ready to serve as rapid reinforcement to the frontlines. You won't know what's happening with the battle everywhere as accurately.

[X] No: You don't have the intimate knowledge or know how to lead a throng. Leave this to the thanes to sort out. The Eldest Thane of the hold will lead the Throng.
[X] Vanguard: You will be at the forefront of the battle. A powerful symbol to rally around and where you can deal the most punishment. You'll be focused solely on murder blending your way forward like only a heavily armoured Dwarf with a Grudge can.

i think we should go for us becoming the king of Kraka Drakk as this will the main hold of the Norse Dwarfs when we get cut of from the rest of The Karaz Ankor, thus making us high king of the Norse Dwarfs. This will allow us to shape own unique version of the Norse Dwarfs culture
There are more than enough empire builders out there.

Considering our age and our social position as a Master Runesmith we're going to be shaping the culture of the Hold one way or another and by extension the rest of whatever other settlements pop up in the vicinity afterwards.

Honestly how unheard would it actually be for us to defer leadership to the Thanes despite the difference in age/status etc? I mean they are the ones that have actual experiance/training for leading an army here.

Her hand falls limp.

Your world fades.


The last article, a deep red cloak trimmed in white that she made for you still hangs on the stand. You stare at it blankly for who knows how long. Until finally, achingly slowly, you take it up and drape it over your back. Clasping it in place mechanically.

Bone deep grief, long faded, flares for just a second.

You pick up your weapons, axe remade, hammer rediscovered, and walk out.

The cloak does not keep out the cold as well as it used to.
Ouch. Though considering this event, why the heck doesn't Snorri have an offical Grudge against daemons? Though you did make this statement:
Snorri doesn't like to talk about it, but know his current outlook on life is partly due to him honouring his wife's wishes.
So what, she basically wanted him to keep living his life, acting as a teacher etc instead of obsessing about avenging her death?
TROLLS ARE HUGE! THAT MEANS THEY HAVE HUGE GUTS!
I suspect Snorri reserves the Doom slayer moments for daemons.

We should leave command to someone with experience, but let's make up for the slight loss of face by being at the front of the charge so none can doubt our courage.
