The gathering of dwarves waited as Balor tallied the votes, their breaths held as their future for the next year was decided. At last, Balor tallied the final vote, and after a moment she declared "Illevaihcam, you and your associates have received the most votes in the fortress. As such, you may now choose to take charge for the upcoming year, until the next election."
Illevaihcam seemed to ponder this for a moment, but as he thought the look on his face became darker and less pleased. Finally, he spoke "On behalf of myself and my associates, I must decline this generous opportunity offered to me by the people of Crownhammers".
Discontented mumbling broke out among the dwarves present before Balor called out, "quiet, quiet, we must maintain order." Silence fell once more upon the room as Balor cleared her throat, looking down the list. "Very well, Illevaihcam, your decision has been made. The next ones to receive this opportunity is the Fellowship of Equals."
Alast Jorgenson exchanged a surprised look with her fellow members, then finally said, "On behalf of my sisters in the Fellowship, I accept this honor. We shall take upon ourselves the burden of overseeing the fortress."
"On behalf of the Might of Killing, I would like to request the creation of four barracks, each fully stocked with the furniture needed for a full squad. Additionally, we would like to request that one of the barracks to have a full archery range for training of the ranged squads."
Alast nodded slowly as she wrote the request, mentally noting the ridiculousness of the request, "Your request has been noted and will be taken into consideration."
The next in line was Hef, and he came up with a small slab. On the slab was written his request, and as Alast looked at it her eyes narrowed slightly. There was more to the Union of Souls than met the eye. However, there was no reason to refuse this request, so she put on a smile and said, "Your request will be taken into consideration."
