The Queen spoke to herself in her palace, or rather, she spoke to Ber Steelearthen. Ber Steelearthen, however, remained silent.
Still, the queen remained faithful. She dutifully reported the events that transpired in the early part of 226. She spent several hours describing the magnificence of a new artifact.
A cave spider silk shoe with all different colors of cave spider silk and images of random mountains and circles....I mean....this shoe is the be all and end all of dwarven footwear...and there is only one.
When she had finished extolling the virtues of the great shoe, and lamenting its singularity, she then began bitching about the peasants and other inferior types.
"Oh great lord, one of our trainees managed to kill a kobold the other day. He's gotten quite the big head about it, refusing to fight with anything but a sword even though he knows not how to weild it. He also demands that everyone now call him MadMonkey24. What manner of name this is, I know not my lord. The mind boggles."
"These dwarves vex me lord. I'm terribly vexed. Why....even this new Hammerer - who is a dutiful worshipper of you my lord - has changed his name to Hamdinger. I can only guess that it is some local dialectical twist mangling the Queens Dwarvish."
"The engraver you sent is also causing problems. Apparently, Mister Tekkud Whiskeredringed didnt like being locked in a cave deep in the recesses of Blockedlance, behind our atom smasher junk crusher. Yes lord...I'm making a dwarf live behind our junkyard eating horse tallow and drinking sewer brew! I know you are proud of me."
(to the tune of spongebob squarepants)
Who lives in a trash pile deep in a cave?
Tekkud Whiskeredringed!"Now Tekkud has gone nutters, completely schizo. He claims he's been possessed by a demonic entity named Jimm. Do you know anything of this, my lord?"
Urist paused, but there was only silence.
Urist sighed. "Lord, I kill and I kill for you....but they keep coming....endless waves of them. And more are born every day due to the power and verility of dwarven seed. I can only hope I am providing you with the strength you need to manifest yourself in this world permanently..."
The room was still and quiet. The silence was deafening. Urist knew she had not killed enough. Ber must be angry...more must die!
