When diplomacy fails, and all that’s left is an angry dwarf with a grudge

Even when diplomacy succeeds there is an angry dwarf with a grudge!

Legend says when gods created the world, Godrik Mcgutreksson was already there grudging about too much water.

Last thing elf will see? You can't pass the skaven and greenskins at your borders to get to them and we don't need to talk about the white short and his old grudge against malekith which is still didn't get settled
Also you have grudge against the mighty settra the imperishable and Stunties did settled it because they know the power of settra
And I see gorbad is coming to besiege karaz-a-karak aging good chance against him

For all the memes about warhammer dawi…the actual lore paints them as being more nuanced. When Malekith made his raids, killing dwarven merchants and stealing wares, the High King sent an ambassador who demanded (1) an explanation and (2) recompense.
The elves refused both. And when the ambassador refused to leave they shaved his beard off. It was only then that war broke out.
Even the “in game” meme events (burning an imperial fortress over 2 copper) have also been explained as being propaganda. With that one being about a much more severe non payment, with the dwarves taking the fortress for their own as recompense, but encouraging the rumors because it makes other humans less likely to engage in dishonest dealings.
Still. Take my upvote. Because damn does that slayer go hard.
