The Thoughts 'o' G'dank Earthhammer. Cleric 'o' Moridan

Well Moradin brung me tay this place, so i must assume he has Plans fer me, But so far Im miffed If i can tell what they may be. But I trust in Moridan tay light me way an show me what he wants me tay do Been here a week an a wee bit, an I had nought but trouble. With in A couple o day o bein here , I got me self in a wee bit o strife we one o them spellguerd dogs, Just cos I ask her to prove she were allowed tay tell me what tay do. she hits me me some o her tricks magic locks me in a prison, then the bitch shot more spells thru the bars at me, cos i wouldna gi her the satisfaction o cowerin down tay her. Then yay pile insult on tay injury she steals all may gold,( she called it a fine), tay line her pocket we. I was gona coplain but were told but them that knows that the spellguard are a law untay themselfs, so there were no point tay complainin. I thought ma luck had changed when I met a Kinnsman by the name o Dakul Ironbeard, an he told me o the Stoutheart Clan an told me That if I was tay ask tay join That they would look favorably on the askin. I did an they did. Me heart was gladdened tay know that I had Kin an a Clan tay call me own, I could turn tay in times o trouble. Little did I know Trouble was just aroun the corner The day I brung shame apon meself an me new clan, started like any other in this forsaken place. I was asked tay join a group o Adventurers to help them in a wee job o putin some evil gnomes back in their place. which i gladly agreed tay do. The job were a hard one, much harder then we first fought, but we managed tay do it, and came back whole an sound. So I decided as soon as I got back tay the town tay pray an Give me thanks tay Moridan, an tay ask him tay bless me comrades in arms. (*some of the following is slightly blurred as if by drops of water*). Just as I was prayin I felt a hand reach in tay may tunic, I couldna believe it a thief were trin tay rob me, (an me at me prayers to), so Ups i jumps an shout thief as loud as i can, an ge her a tap or two we ma hammer. thinkin only tay stun the lass, so as the watch could deal we her. But I must have tapped her a wee bit tay hard as she dropped dead at ma feet, this act o mine saddens me more than i have words for, an i wish she had asked for me coin as i would have gladdly given her a coin or two. soon a crowed had gathered an some o them were sayin it were murder that i done, even when i told them she were a thief an had tried tay rob me. So I handed meself in tay the watch I were tried for murder, but thanks tay a wise judge who said It were only murder if i had set out tay kill her,but he did say I should nay o hit her, and for killin her, I were only exiled tay Lower, which is where I finds meself now ===============================================

I been here in lower now fer about a month now , Tis a hard lawless place this lower. An of all me new clan I only seen one o them down here ,(an he nearly got me dead draggin out me tay kill some goblins), not that I blame em fer not wantin tay have much tay de we me as i shamed em. I have seen a few o another Clan called Mithoral souls, an there friendly enough. but they dont seem tay have a too high a regard for the Stouthearts. especially Faenor Breena Watchever High Holy One of the Mithrilsouls. she nay think that some o my new clan are proper Dwarves. she even went so far as tay say some o them acted like HUMANS!!!!

I seem tay have become a sort o rat catcher here as it is the only work I can get,( ma poor old pa would weep if he saw me), Ive been insulted ,cheated, an tay add to me humiliation, the other dark I was robbed while i slept. Me armour ,me gold an all me gear gone. The only reason they dint take "Goblin Kisser" is cos I keeps her we me in the bed. But of all the things they took the one that upsets me more, is the the loss o Moridans symbol, me Ma made me, when i first became a Cleric. I hates this place we a vengence. an it seems that all o me problems down here are caused by thieves, o one sort or another. someone should sort this place out an impose some law here, or at least catch some crooks. but the watch dina come here. an even if they did they couldna catch thier own bums we both hands behind thier backs.. Oh Moradin I know I done wrong But were it that bad? An if this is a test o ma faith I rather convert Orcs than stay here one more day Bah! I goin for an ale now

Well it's like Ma Pa always says "when yer at the bottom o the shaft yer only way is up". Never again will I doubt this tay be true. A lot has happened in the last couple o days, Imet the Mithrilsouls rune caster an he treated me tay a fine meal an told me i was welcolm tay guest a his Clans new hall, so now I can finaly sleep in a place I dont have tay keep one eye open all the time, and can spend some of me time with me own kin, (even if they are a different clan) I finaly got word from Dakul ironbeard, He tells me that the Stouhearts are doin all they can ter get me exile te lower put aside.

But the best thing that happen tay me is Moradin Has showed me what he wants o me, He has lifted me spirt, an lit me a path follow. It happend when I were down in the sewers,(Chasin rats again), when I came across a book, By another cleric o Moradin, an it tell o his life here an how it were his duty tay get all his kin tay remember . they dont belong here, and we should all be stivin to get back te where we should be an not be content with this life here. An now i know what i have tay do, Ill pit me heart in it. But first i have tay find a seeker.
