[QUOTE="ahayford, post: 5966309, member: 6680745"] You begin sifting through the papers left behind by the gnomish mages that once lived here. The paper is old and yellowed, but has survived its 80 year internment fairly well, all things considered. The pages appear to have been salvaged from numerous sources, perhaps the remnants of personal journals or logs. <page 1> [color=brown]The new dwarven council member is causing trouble again. He has been trying to push through new mandates to expand the city’s lower defenses despite our charter’s clear stipulations that no further chambers are to be excavated. Already, many of the gnomes have flocked to his side. I’m sure they were more then happy to sign his petition in exchange for promises of new laboratories and workshops. Their minds jump from one project to another faster then I change socks. I swear Senior Councilwoman Rosita changes her job title as her first order of business at every council meeting I have ever attended. It doesn’t surprise me that Grimmel has found gnomes that are more then willing to ignore our charter. However, more and more dwarves are starting to come to his side as well. Whispers of untapped mineral veins in the right ears will surely get him the votes he needs to approve his mandate. Old Jzadirune would roll over in his grave.
