				 Proclamation of the Prieshood of Ulm Reborn 
 Today, the Kingdom of Ulm mourns the noble knights who laid their lives at thegates of Kharam Dzu.  Yes, there were some defeatists who urged a withdrawal to
 our homelands.  But the Priesthood felt that it was our responsibility to shield
 the world from the former Black Templars who now call themselves Blood Drakes.
 
 We did not abandon the poor dwarfs of Kharam Dzu to the demonic beasts.  Instead,
 our armies met the hordes of Sanguinia, and the battle shook the very walls of the
 mountain fortress.  The losses on both sides were staggering, but eventually,
 the cowardly vampires and the corrupted Blood Drakes fled the field, allowing their
 soulless minions to be finally laid to rest.
 
 But our struggle against the bloodthirsty vampires is only beginning.  Many of
 the former dwarf villages are still suffering under the yoke of Sanguinia.
 Deadly taxes and unholy blood rites are decimating the population.  But let the
 innocent and defenseless take heart!  Our forces will soon be moving south, to
 end the bloody reign of terror.  Our policies will be no different from those in
 the already liberated lands.  No taxes until prosperity is restored and no
 patrolling until those rioting against the vampires have had a chance to return
 to their homes!  Of course, this amnesty does not apply to those who joined the
 oppressors' militia and turned on their brothers.
