Ulgrid Fortress: Government and Politics

From The World of Layonara
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Brenuth is the city people see; Ulgrid Fortress is the place of power. The government and politics that define the dwarven kingdom define the fortress. The justice of the Ulgrids is fair if prickly; even half-giants and half-orcs will get a fair trial if they are captured alive. Although, given the jumpy state of the guard at this time, that's a pretty big "if".

The only dwarf standing between the racial hatreds of his people and the need for impartial justice is the King's chosen Karahazn, currently Rolf Slayter, who is widely known as a calm and moderate force in desperate times. He commands the entirety of the Ulgrid warriors in King Coldrock's name and is not given to hasty decisions. It is his decree that any wrong-doer be brought to proper justice rather than killed on the spot, and is actively attempting to discover why the treaty with the Deep dwarves has failed.
