Elspeth - I'm sorry

As a constant dwarf player, you've been a wonderful ally.

As belegar, I reclaimed all of the grey mountains, from the pale sisters down to Karak Izor. I fought next to you against goblins, demons, ogres, skaven, beastmen and vampires.

Belegar marched all the way to the wastelands to secure your borders. We defeated Vlad Von Carstein together.

Before belegar ever turned his eye towards the badlands and his ancenstral right of Karak 8 Peaks, we fought side by side to secure the empire, for you, and for Karl.

But I was too gentle, too careful. I defeated your foes before they became a threat, and you returned the favor.

But when your 9 armies crossed through blackfire pass, when the armies of Skarsnik - who had already defeated Karaz-a-Karak and Clan Mors, fell beneath your blades and bullets, I watched.

When you refused to trade back Barak Varr, I waited. When you claimed the Everpeak, belegar hid in Ambush. When skarsniks armies began pushing you back after they finished off Drazoath the Ashen, I observed.

As your armies lost ground throughout the center of the worlds end, I plotted.

While your second army group pushed into the southern world ends towards misty mountains, I schemed.

And now, as I have retaken Barak Varr after you lost it - as I observe your forces cut off between Gunbad and the Everpeak, which you allowed the Ungi scum to once again claim, I plan.

It's been a number of turns since our trading relationship, our military alliance, mysteriously ended.

I can see all of your lands in the empire. I know that your armies have no beachhead. I watch the attrition grow.

My mountain holds have tier 4 walls. We recruit entire armies globally at reduced speed.

And that is rightful dwarven clay.
