Message: <blockquote data-quote="Branding Opportunity" data-source="post: 2322752" data-attributes="member: 31812">Mavic surveys the crowd to see if he recognizes anyone and thinks he is about to come up empty-handed when he spots someone who looks familiar.  Of course he looks older, and his beard is now mostly grey, but a dwarven nobleman near the front of the line looks familiar.  He and his three dwarven axe-brothers are dressed in functional yet fine dress, their clan affiliations displayed proudly on the gleaming metal shields strapped to their backs.  Mavic does not remember his name, but vaguely remembers having met him before the invasion at court here in Istivin.  He was the third son of a dwarven lord who owned an large iron smelting facility near the headwaters of the Davish River, long held in enemy hands.The three dwarves are speaking amongst each other in their own language, and do not seem to pay anyone much attention.OOC:  Just to explain a bit about the specifics of dwarven politics in Sterich, I wanted to let you know that although all dwarven settlements in the hills and mountains have a great deal of autonomy, they are still under the jurisdiction of the court in Istivin.  Every hold sends a senior member to the capitol, and he sits on something called the Dwarven Court.  This Dwarven Court is a legislative and deliberative body which handles most decisions involving these dwarven enclaves, and also serves as a conduit between the dwarves of Sterich and the predominantly human court.  Everybody seems quite content with this arrangement, although there are always a few discontents who demand more freedom from the Marchioness.</blockquote>
