Dargar Shieldwarder - Conflicting emotions

[Nagtharak]

*A female Deurgar move's quickly along a lightly lit stone corridor. She reaches a large metal door, guarded by two heavily armored gray dwarfs. She gives them a nod and they push the large metal doors open, the open doors reveal a large hall. The hall is decorated with drapes with a shield and broken crossbow bolt symobl, the symbol of the Deurgar god Laduguer. At the end of the hall lies an alter with a four Deurgar priests in light prayer. The femlae Gray dwarf walks silently, yet quickly towards them, she stops a few steps away from them and says softly*

"High priest Gladur" he answers her with his back toward's her annoyance can be heard in his voice. " Ye better be having a bloody good reason ta bother us when we be praying" she takes a deep breath and thinks about her next few words carefully as she knows it might not end well. "Aye, I be having a good reason High priest, Dargima has given birth, it be a son High priest" there is a few moments of silence she is unsure if she though her words through properly, then Gladur answers " It be good news, ye be telling em that i be on me way ta see me son" she replies quickly "Aye High priest" then she makes for the door quickly and silently praising her luck that she did not end up in the torture chambers.

Gladur walks calmly towards Dargima's room, swings the door open and says "Laduguer be blessing us with another son" he walks up to where his newly born son is lying quietly and looks him over "Oi, he be a big lad" then he picks him up and looks him in the face and says "Since our Clan ta Shielderwarder Clan be free from em Illithid's *spits* we be having Laduguers blessing" pauses for a second as if to make sure everyone around him is listening. Then carries on talking "Fer every generation since that time, every male born to ta Shieldwarder clan be having Laduguers divine blessing" pauses again and looks around the room, in the bed resting is Dargima, the female gray dwarf from before is standing next to Dargima's bed.The front door is guarded by two large Female Duergar's holding Halberds. He makes quick eye contact with all in the room to make sure they remember that fact, then looks back to his newly born son and say "Ye be going ta carry on ta tradition, i usually be able ta feel ta divine connection with Laduguer, but i feel none with ye yet, i be sure it be there" he puts the baby back into its crib and looks over to Dargima and says "Ye did good lass, I be pleased, it be seeming that Laduguer still be favoring us" Dargima looks pleased with her self and then she asks "what we be calling him" she waits silently for Gladur's response, which came quickly "Ye call him what ever ye be wanting" and with that he leaves the room towards the temple to pray in thanks to Laduguer. Dargima looks at the gray dwarf attending her and says "Ye be bring me, me son" she nods quickly and gently picks up the baby and brings it to Dargima. Dargima then lifts up the baby and looks it in the face and says "I be calling ye Dargar"
