A Doctrine for Dwarves During Wartime

Dwarves, we must all come together. We must be united as in the days of old, before the age of clans. We must all be as brothers once more. Our axes must now ring in the name of truth and justice, as they once did so long ago. We must look beyond the name, and look to the blood, the dwarven blood that flows through our veins, that beats the patriotic, dedicated dwarven heart. We must look to other dwarves, for only a great combined army can hope to fight back in the name of all that is goodly in this world; Only all the dwarven clans united shall triumph against the evil of Bloodstone! We must not look down on the men, the elves, the hin or the gnomes, for unless we are lal in this fight together, we will fail. They have done all they can, and until we become the great bearded wall to hold off the advances of the Bloodstone war machine, our allies in this greatest of wars will suffer defeat after defeat. We must take the next tep. The hammer is in our hands now, and we must strike the ingot flat, pound the nails of dwarven migh tinto the hellish quarry that is Sinthar. Dwarves of old have wielded the axe in the name of good for centuries, nae, millenia before our time. We must not rest, never end our toiling, until we can make the claim that we have bested our ancestors, that we have fought the most important fight of the history of Layonara. Sinthar Bloodstone is a terrible, evil general. He will not stop conquering our land, he will not settle down after quelling his sppetite, for his is the insatiable thirst for nothing but the spilling of innocent blood. And where will he go when he has claimed all the rivers, taken all the woodlands, conquered all the flats? Tell me, where will he go when he has taken the overworld and the underdark? Do you think he will stop to hear your treaties? Your swears of allegience? Do you think he will grant mercy to you, the mercy he denied all others? The answer, lads and lasses, is no. Quite plainly, no. He will collapse the great mountain ranges, sunder all the grand dwarven halls, bring down the walls of dwarven civilization and bring the dwarven peopels to dust, as he will all free peoples. But do not despair! This is not our fate, this shall not be our destiny, if all dwarves come together, and fight back agaisnt the evil now, before he is entrenched all about our halls, before he has lain waste to our allies. Be ye dwaves of vaalour! Take up thine axes and hammers, and let loose all the might and fury of the dwarven people! Now, not later, we must show the world that the dwarves, and indeed, the men and elves of all the world, too, do not just lay back and submit to evil! By the gods, we are dwarves! Not a bunch of orcs and goblins!

*Rolf enters the inn and sees the notice. Reads it until he reaches the end, then starts chuckling.

A quiet dwarf wearing fine robes of a Battle Priest of Vorax takes notice of the note. After reading the note he nods and smiles. He wanders over to Ragrian and seems to hold a conversation with her discussing the post.He then hands her some coins and a piece of paper and departs.
