> Action 1: Mark Where the Underground Road Network Will Be BuiltThe task of marking the underground road network fell to Master Mason Gimli Ironfoot and his team of surveyors once again. The dwarves gathered at dawn, equipped with detailed maps, chisels, tools and enough supplies to last them the journey.
Carving the first marks into the mountain walls and boulders, the masons followed natural veins of stone, ensuring both structural integrity and strategic placement. The routes were carefully aligned and measured. Along the way, markers were etched into the rock to guide future builders and protect the passages from collapse. The masons paused at each milestone to perform small rites and rest.
> Action 2: Research RunesEorlin of clan Adir driven by a thirst of glory mounted an expedition into one of the collapsed sections of the old citadel to search for long lost knowledge and artifacts to bring and on the final day of the journey and fearing ruin he found a chest, a small one of cracked and dusty tablets. Taking back the tablets and slowly reading them Eorlin was able to recognise the value of these tablets instantly and after taking more loans he started to work alone in a chamber deep beneath the hold, his only company the flickering amber steel lanterns that cast their warm light upon the ancient runes etched into the walls. The air was heavy with the scent of stone and soot, and the stillness was broken only by the rhythmic scraping of his chisel and hammer as he studied and tested the forgotten craft.
The recovered tablets hinted at methods capable of channeling raw magical energies, an inherently unstable force that could be shaped and stabilized through skilled and precise craftsmanship into symbols etched on surfaces.
Political Transition: Thul-Garuhm and Virn-Urdor
The disagreement among the nobility and the people regarding the governance of Thul Urdor had cast a shadow over the court for some time. To resolve this, King Tori invoked the ancient tradition of the Urotti ancestors: assigning stewardship of the hold to a noble now raised as prince to govern in the name of the crown in return for fealty. The lands surrounding Thul Urdor—now formally renamed Virn-Urdor—were granted to Dummuli of Clan Ovak. Meanwhile, Thul-Garuhm was officially recognized as the new capital of the Urotti, its central location providing both safety and practicality for the monarchy and its peole. Thul-Garuhm will be renamed as Virn-Garuhm and Virn Garuhm will be renamed to Thul-Garuhm.
In other news a new proclamation is decreed, any and all foreigners bar the Habitun-sect will no longer be welcomed by the Dwarfs into their lands.
