Vague newer history of Stoja

[Shruik]

Have fun:


The dwarven kingdom formerly was reign by Snagroki Redgut. While he was king the northern
Kingdom of Stoja was a region that lived in peace. As King Redgut died he gave the power to
his so called council of the north. This council helped him his life long and was formed by
three men: Maschorax Ogrom, Gripir Thergrem and Levom Gorimm. As the king had no children it was
now up to these three to reign the kingdom. Within the week after the kings funeral they wanted
to set up a contract to reign the kingdom as they were thought by Snagroki but in the night of
the funeral an assassin tried to murder Gripir Thergrem. Many evidence lead towards Maschorax
Ogrom who is known as a greedy man but it could never be proven.
As a result of this Gripir Thergrem left the council claiming the north-eastern part of the
island, where his castle stands as well, as his region and swearing one day to vengance the
failed murder. Now Levom Gorimm and Maschorax Ogrom set up a peace contract dividing the rest
of the land between the two of them. When Levom Gorimm heard that Gripir has called his men to
arms and wanted to attack the northern Kingdom called Orsoz he traveled to the city of Hrisar
that is the home of Gripir. He tried to convince his old friend of stoping the attack of Vluruménk
,the city of Maschorax, but he only replied that he´d crush the town of this bastard who tried
to kill him at the funeral of his beloved king. Furthermore Gripir asked Gorimm to accompaign him
into battle. But as he stands by his word he refused to fight either Gripir nor Maschorax and just
assured Gripir that he´d always be there as his friend; but never as a warrior against other
dwarven families.
These events led into what was later called the glacial war. As Vluruménk was protected by the
mountain chain dividing Stoja into two the armies of both kings had to march nearly two monts
before even seing each other. During this time the army of king Thergrem conquered nearly 1/4 of
king Ogrom´s land as well as the castle of Brautarholt that is situated east of Vluruménk and of
the mountain chain. In the final battle at the northern plains a heavy storm came up and made
the battle much more difficult then both of the kings ever thought of. As both sides lost nearly
all of their men during that cruel night the kings but also their men took this as a sign of the
gods that dwarven should never fight against other dwarven armies. At the neutral city of Vromir
, home of Levom Gorimm in Batacudir, a peace contract was signed that also set up a fix frontier
between the two northern kingdoms.
Until today peace remained but both of the northern kings still hate each other and their
personality changed in a negative way. While Gripir Thergrem was always criticised by his people
for marrying a human woman and introducing human culture to their country he now also became a
real book lover but also developed a cult of his person by thinking he would be touched by the
gods. Maschorax Ogrom, former bursar of the king, soon discovered that a lot of gold was in the
mountains of his kingdom and started to exploit the mountains to become richer then every king
before him. As Vluruménk was in the total west and Hrisar was in the total east of the kingdom
a third force was born between the two northern Kingdoms. The former mercenary Drovarg one day
killed the high-lord of the independent mercenary army and claimed himself to be the man who
will free Dylikawi of his fool king Thergrem. His army composed of thieves, mercenaries and
freed slaves has his Fort somewhere in the plains of Dylikawi and gatheres their force to one
day strike against the king.

Things Tom already mentioned: The crazy kings could be part of the dark cult.

I really wanted to make it up an other way but dwarven are a very complicated race.
The thing is that up in the north there is some very big area left and i soon came up with the idea of some kind of rebellion or such.
But dwarven will never start a rebellion. They are a people that is very much focused on honor (and greed well) and starting a rebellion against the king / chief of your clan would dishonor you and your family that much that no dwarf would ever start one  
Then i thought of some sort of terrorist dwarven sponsored by Maschorax Ogrom. But again there was that family based honor complex of the dwarven - who would betray his clan and his people for some gold of an other (not accepted) king?
So as you can see: The hostile group located on the northeast can´t be of a dwarven origin. And as the wife of the crazy king was human cultures are mixed up - and humans could have brought their slaves and/or slave system up in the kingdom of Dylikawi.

If you got a better idea please go ahead

But people (dwarfen) make mistakes. Theny can also have envy or just try to much to get honor because the bortherst are all sooo good in somehting and i am not. So they develop a bad driven motivation. And some day the make another mistake. All the stuff comes out and the dwarven law kick you out of the system. You have to go to exile and this creates a big hate in your dwarven heart. With only one goal. Kill the man send you away.The one speeking law in the clan. The king. Dead for the king...

Also dont always think to much in stereotypes. Why should there not be a farmer or fisher clan of dwarfen in an land like Maruum. Other planets other history.

But isnt it to gain/get back honor if you start a rebellion to kill a king or species, as Steff said even dwarves make mistakes and a cilvilwar questline is a nice idea

Dwarves fighting their king?....
Even if he would kill half their population because he likes it.
Dwarves won't make attempt on his life.
Dwarves have a  Familly/Clan/King/honor that forbids them. If they do so they will be cast from their familly clan etc.

[Steff]

stereotype stereotype stereotype
Why should/could  a dwarf not do such a thing. Its an feeling and thinking creature. So he can have all kind of feelings.
Like hate, envy, fear what can lead to actings like perhaps killing a king.

There is everytime ONE that thinks in an other way, is not the same opinion and realy KNOW that his point is the right.

[axel0099]

The only reason why i think a dwarf would put down a... King of his own kin... is Dishonor when the king thinks and moves without honor.... That''s the best reason for a dwarf to do such a thing.
