Click on the picture to go to the previous thread.
Welcome to the Halls of Khazad-dum! Visitors and Newcomers to our lovely mines are equally welcomed with the warmth and hospitality of the Dwarves!
Our Welcome Center is designed to give guidance to the newcomer, and to greet all visitors who come with their announcements and well wishes. Please introduce yourself, look through the information we have provided, and ask any questions you might have. Members of the DAR will gladly help you if they can.
If you are a new dwarf in our warm halls, a special Varkin! to you! These members of DAR would love to mentor you and assist you with your questions. They are:
Rules
KD Clans
There are lots of great activities going on in KD, and you will soon find that most of them are run by the 7 clans. Each clan provides a different service to the kingdom. Below is a list of the clans and their basic purposes. You can find more detailed descriptions of each clan. So pick a few off the list below that look interesting, read through their descriptions and maybe even visit a few of their threads before you decide which to join (choose carefully because you can only be a part of one!!). Click on the clan name to go to the current thread
-
Yukogs (smiths, stone masons, carpenters, tinkerers)
-
-
Mojaks (rune/glyph carvers, shapechangers, herbalists, alchemists, shamans)
-
Morogs (stone miners, gemdowsers, geologists)
-
Mex Uzbans (restaurant openers, food-makers, farm-tenders, hunters, shepherds)
-
Ankixogs (earth-guides, wanderers, singers, speakers, poets)
-
Once you decide which clan is right for you, go into their thread and say you want to join. The clan leader should give you further instructions from there. Then check back frequently and participate in your clan’s threads and activities. It’s as simple and exciting as that!!
Anghak: The KD army
Join the KD army and fight with the most elite warriors in middle earth!
Another exciting thing to do in KD is to join the army. For one to join the army they must go to the Recruitment thread.
From there one can ask the officers what to do! We hope you have fun

Okay, now that everything is in order and all that good stuff, what are the kal Shirak? I have been hearing about them from numerous army officials and in some other threads so I was just wondering what they were. Sorry about all the confusion going on before.

*smacks her computer* I'm sorry Vim, my computer messed up horribly so I had to delete and repost the intro. I'll go see if I can ask our rulers to move your post down. As far as I know, Kal'Shirak are enemies of KD that are threatening, but I don' t think it has been revealed yet what they are.

Wll thanks Athaira, that actually solves alot for me. I had no idea what these dwarves weer talking about as I am most intrested in the races of Midddle-earth, but I had never heard of these horrible peoples. Are they a plaza creation or were they really in Tolkein's work?

Vim: Tolkien never gave us much information about the language of the Dwarves ( Khuzdul ) so many of the words we use are invented by someone else than Tolkien himself. ( Who exactly I don't know )
Athaira: I was wondering what was going on... suddenly the entire toppost moved to the left, and Vim's post disappeared! I'm glad everything is back to normal!

Delny and Vim, the invention of the plaza language (based on the few words that tolkien provided us), was started at the beginning of the plaza. It was Sharky and Isembard and Silk who did a lot for them if I remember correct. Later Quyi-erac, invented a lot of words and added a whole bunch of them, and he also improved the grammar. I'm sure there are others too that helped a lot, but those 4 people really did a lot (sorry for those that I don't know about)

Thank you all for your warm comments and advice in the last thread. I was able to locate the Drill Team Thread. The Debate team intimidates me because of all the role-playing, but I'm keeping an open-mind. I have been reading the role-playing threads for a while now to try to get some ideas!
Someone, I think, Delnynalvor, asked what a Ph.D was: It is an abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy, in my case, in the field of Sociology, and is normally the highest degree awarded for any non-medical disciplines. But I still have far to go before I can change my name to Dr. Arkenstone!

May I ask where else I can migle with Dwarves before getting settled in, such as a pub or marketplace? Someone might have posted some advice already, but I think I may have missed it.

Hullo Verde! The current pub is The Broken Drum (that's a clickable link!  ) which should be a fun place to go, if you're looking for something a little calmer then there's the Khazad-dûm Market XVIII (also clickable!) that you suggested, it's a cool thread as well.  Have fun!

Shadahia: Here you might find what you need: So Many reasons to join the Dwarves! IV ( clickable ) I hope there are enough good reasons, in your opinion, to choose our race! Good luck, with whatever you choose, and I hope to see you around!
Verde: Welcome, New Soul! I see Mithy has been so kind to answer you question! At the moment I'm in the pub ( chatting with a Minion! *g* ), and don't be afraid to start talking to me if you want! I'm always available for a good converstaion!

Shadahia: I just have to add something from what Delny said, if you are feeling slightly offish about having a beard, you do not have to RP (Role Play) a dwarf. For instance, I RP a human but I live in Khazad-Dum. I can also promise you that we are one of the most accepting Kingdoms on the plaza  If you have any questions or need a helping hand, you can stop in here anytime!

Thanks a lot Delnynalvor there are a lot of reasons to join KD isn't there? Also, thanks Taleci yeah, I've noticed that KD is a rather accepting place for anyone. (I went around to look) You know, I think a beard would look great on me though. perhaps if I was a dwarf but not a candle. I would catch myself on fire!!!
you can for see your fait for your fait is the present.

Hi there ! I'm a newcomer from the North and look for a place to settle down and work on my craft amongst good people ! As I LOVE gemstones, metal, jewelry , sculptures.. I've been tempted to live in Rivendell but I'm still hesitating because.. well.. inside me, I'm still a Dwarf  ... Aargh.. anyway, for the moment, I'm just looking around.. *bows*

Shadahia - oh yes, I think a beard would suit you wonderfully. *giggles*
SoMK - hullo and welcome to the plaza! Make sure to read the FAQs if you're confused about anything, they're really helfpull... I hope you give Khazad-Dum some thought before sticking with Rivvy, we've got the Yukogs (a top-class clan for just crafting things) and many other fun opportunites! Anyways, whatever you decide, welcome to the plaza, I hope you have oodles of fun! (If you get lost about anything feel free to email me, or contact me over Instant Messenger, info is in my profile)

Hello. I am interested in participating in a class at the Khazad-Dum University. I am not completely sure how to proceed. When do classes begin? How do I sign up? Thanks in advance for any information. My thread navigating skills are improving, but I still have a way to go. scribbles in notebook beside her to remember where she asked the question.

Caja: I suggest you go to the Registration for H2 class, and everything is explained in the top post! The person who is most involved in the Khazad-dûm University is Geir, so I think it's best to contact her in this thread! One thing, the link I gave you is to a thread for pre-registration. Keep that in mind...
Good luck in finding your way around...

Hullo Vim! DoM is short for the, "Derndingle of Mystery" an ongoing RPG that is twisting its way throughout allready established threads on the plaza. It is largely orchestrated by everyone's favourite lawn ornament, and admin, Hoth. It's a big mysterious thing only open to the best Role Players on the plaza. (The story of of the RPG has to do with bringing the entwives back)

Hello, I been wondering about something. I been waiting in a thread, Moria Health and Beauty Spa, since the 15th to get a massage, and I been wondering how long it usually takes to start. If they are too busy I wouldn't have a problem leaving. But I am not an experienced RPGer. Could you suggest something? I don't want to make them feel bad. I even eagle-mailed them about it, but have not yet received an answer. I asked in the eagle mail if I had forgotten something they still needed, but they didn't respond. Could somebody help me?

Hey Lindor! That's my fault...  I run the spa, well partly. I'm so sorry that you've not been treated yet! The massage therapists that we've hired have mostly become inactive in the spa and on the plaza. Steps will be taken to hire new folks, you have my word. Also, I'll rustle someone up to give you your treatment, just as soon as I can think straight (I need to write a few articles first, so give me a few hours) I've not checked the email in a while, keep on forgetting to. I am soo, sooo sorry about this. *worries*

Welcome to KD, Zippy and Sethai! I hope you enjoy yourselves as you explore our kingdom!
Sethai; when are on the main forum listing, and you go to click on a thread, the last poster's name, the date and time, should be all the way to the right, see?
If you have any more questions, please ask!

Welcome Zippy! I hope your stay as a dwarf is a fabulous experience!
Hullo Sethai! There is no subscription service type thing on the plaza, so sorry! Just do your best to remember where you have posted... if all else fails I suppose you could always write it down somewhere though. My advice is to get really involved in a few kingdom activities and not worry about being involved in everything, it will help you really find a place to fit into the plaza. Of course, if you want to be involved in it all, then go right ahead. Whatever you wish!

Smiling at the Dwarfette Mithykins Lindor said:" No *worries* Now that I know what is going on, I'll pick up another magazine and have some more of that scrumtuous food. I am glad we got this figured out. I do have one more question. How hard would it be to become a Masseur? If it isn't too hard, I wouldn't mind training for one. Or do I have to be a dwarf in order to do that?

Lindor: Is it ok if I answer your qyuestion? Here ( clickable ) you'll find the Moria Health and Beauty Spa OOC-thread, and Thom Greenleaf is the one responsible for it all. I suggest you just ask him, and he'll tell you what to do! Good luck, and I hope to see you soon...
Sethai: Something you can do is go to your profile ( you have that option on the left of the screen, and it looks like this:  . Click it, and then you see a button ( below ) which is named: "10 last posts"... Maybe that can help! Good luck...

Lindor - Staff positions are available for all races, just ask in the OOC thread (there's a link to it in the first post of the spa) to be a part of the team! There's no training that is necessary, just as long as you know a bit about massage in RL. I hope you join us!

Menealata: Welcome to Khazad-dûm, I guess! I've never met you before, and it's nice to meet another Dwarf! If you have any question concerning Khazad-dûm ( for instance the Army ( a.k.a. the Anghak ) as it seems quite hard to understand the structure, when you see it for the first time ) you are always welcome to ask them here! I hope to see you around...

Hello all!
I was just wondering if anyone knew... If I want to join a plaza house, can I just ask one if I can join or do I have to email someone and get assigned to one?
If anyone has the answer to this I would be very appreciative to know... Thanks in advance
Cheers!

Cherriax; Awesome name! 
Mene; Welcome to the kingdom! I think I've seen you around the plaza, but I don't think we've met. Glad to have you here! Thank you for taking the time to answer Jyss's question, but, one of our rules is that only DAR (Dwarven Assocation of Recruitment) members can answer questions. It was designed so that misinformation isn't accidentally spread. However, you definally met our requirements so if you would wish join, you would be very welcome!

This place looks pretty wicked, but can anyone tell me why i should come to KD, as I hear that being a dwarf is the way to go?  *roffles*

Cherriax: I'm glad you made that decision! And thanks...
There is one other thing I would like to tell: There is an Chamber of Annoucements in Khazad-dûm, and if someone is looking for an activity outside our kingdom, so they gain some experience RP'ing against other races than only Dwares, they can alway go there. Here is the link... ( clickable )

Vim + Delny ~ Actually, it's Peeg who does all the changes of the icons That's why it make some time to actually get it. Peeg is a busy man and we just have to accept that these type of things might take time.

EEPS...  I didn't know that... I thought it were always the rulers who did those thing! Thanks for correcting me, Taleci!
Vim: I'm sorry, I was wrong! You'll have to wait for Protoguy ( Sub-Eru ) then! And don't worry, you'll get the icon! And it's understandable you are excited, just don't over do it, ok?

Hi. I'm Sharvak, obviously. I'm new here and I was just wondering if there we any other activities I could do as a new dwarf (outside of joining a clan of course). I apologize if I've done something wrong, perhaps I was supposed to read something or post somewhere else. Sorry, no offense intended. I'm really just looking for a way to immerse myself within the dwarven customs and activities. Again, terribly sorry for any rule breaking.

Welcome Sharvak! There's no other place that you need to visit exactly, but I would suggest at least stopping by and glancing at, "Role Play for Beginners [Ranks 1-5]" (clickable link!) other than that though, it's basically up to you as to what you want to join and be active in, there are many many choices! If you are into lore, there are oodles of things to join, if you like arts then that's a whole different set of threads. All of the activities in KD have a link that can be found in the drop down menu in the header of the forum (does that make sense? if not I'll explain what it is *giggles*) so you can at least see what we have to offer! *glomps* welcome to the kingdom, it's soo exciting that you've chosen the dwarves!

Athaira: I've been there and gave my answers.
Midhenaer: I see you've chosen the Kingdom of the Istari, but I hope you know you are still welcome here. Come and visit the Dwarves as often as possible.
Sharvak: Welcome amongst the Dwarves, young one. I see Mithy has already answered you questions, but if you have any other ones feel free to drop by again! I wish you a pleasant stay in the Halls of the Dwarves...
Stone Maiden: Welcome to the plaza. I've heard some Minion, lissening to the name of Varda, introduced you to the plaza. Well, her friends are my friends. I hope you have a great time in Khazad-dûm. See you around...

Hi all.
I've been here for a bit now and done a lot of RP. Hi to all the people I've met along the way - luv ya all
Now, I was thinking about doing something else... like contributing to the kingdom in some way and was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for me or needed any help with anything? I'm still not completely competent with everything on the plaza but I'm willing to learn and work hard...
Thanks guys

Alright I just have one quick question. I guess I am kind of new but it doesn't feel that way anymore but I still haven't figured out how to do the white out stuff for the OOC comments. Is there a thing that I do with the colors or something or is it a thing on the keyboard?

Cherriax - *huggles* (that's for joining my clan ) The best advice I can give you is to just get really involved in a few activities! Don't try to overcommit and be involved in everything going on, it can be kind of overwhelming at first! If you'd like to help out in some way you can ask the queenies in the throne room if there's anything that you could do to help! If you've got any questions feel free to ask in here, or you can contact me on IM or through email! (info's in my profile)
Royal - Hehe, it's colours. Just highlight with your mouse the section of text you want to white out, then click either one of the colour boxes and choose "white" from the standard colours or, "Eru white" from the special colours.
Midhenaer - Awwww, have fun in orthanc, and make sure to visit KD from time to time! (Pssst, the wizzies are great fun, I'm sure you'll have a splendid time there!)

look at the post from Mithykins above. That explains how to use the white out. It is under the Royal section.

Casja: He can link a site by highlighting the word, and press his:  ( in the row of sybols under the smilies. ) If you want you can always try it out here, I don't think anyone would mind.
Royal: Thanks for helping here...
Midhnaer: We had a chocolat cake... *sobs* Good luck in Orthanc!

Miffy should take some of her own advice She takes up so many activites its beyond me how she manages to cope . But then again... if you have fun with these activites it really is not seen as a major work load depending on how much time you spend on the plaza.

G'day I'm Benson1995
The reason I wanted to be a dwarf is because my dad reminds me of Gimli. I want to learn all of the dwarf lore and would like some help from other dwarves. I want to learn how to battle orcs and goblins. I was looking for a Kingdon and Kazad-dum looked really lush. My favourite hobby is drinking Old Dwarven Ale. I take a pint with my friends.
I offer you my service.

Benson, Varkin! We love to see new faces around here. We do have plenty of ales around here for you to sample *g* and if you are interested in brewing or pub mastering you might want to look into the Burx Clan. *g* each of the other clans have a lot to offer as well. Yukogs are the smiths, Mex are the food lords, Ankixogs are the wanderers/poets, Kagams are the Lore Lords *g*, Morogs handle the mining, and last, but not least mojacs are the magic practitioners.
We are so pleased to have you with us.

Nowayman: Somebody told you already, and I'll say it again: posting in capital letters is seen as yelling on the plaza, so we politely ask you not to do so. We, Dwarves of Khazad-dûm, have loads of interesting activities, so feel free to join any of them. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to drop by here... And most important of all: have fun!

Hello everyone,
I am new here so I'll introduce myself, I am Balin the Brave. And I wanted to be a dwarf because of their craftsmanship. And because I think Khazad-Dûm is very cozy. And do we also speak the Secret Tongue of the Dwarves?
By the way, I am Dutch so I might make mistakes with the English language.

Welcome to the plaza, Balin the Brave! Nice kingdom choice We've got some other Dutch-speaking dwarves around here too, so I'm sure they'll be able to help you if you have any problems with the language or such. Well,...err...I'm pretty sure we don't speak the dwarven secret language...I remember reading somewhere that it was lost to our knowledge or something such...But don't necessarily hold me to that...It's nice to meet you!

Hello all, after spending quite some time wandering where I would settle, I finally decided to become a dwarf. I really hope I made the right choice, and if it's not a problem I already have a question, which clan would be the best for a beginner like myself ?

Welcome to the fair halls of Khazad-dum, Malantur! Any clan would be a good choice, they all will greet you with open arms. It all depends on you, what you like to do or are interested is a huge determining factor. I would advise you to look through the clan threads(the links are dropdown menu at the top of the main page) and see which one you are most draw to. However, you can only join one, so pick carefully! If you have any further questions, please ask!

Welcome to KD Balin the Brave. We do have a dictionary of some Khuzdul words developed by members of this kingdom. You can find the links to it on Khazad-Dum's kingdom pages >here< (clickable link) Your English looks fine to me. We have a humber of members who do not have English as their first language and they get along quite well and are valuable members.
Welcome TrumpkinMahalul! Impressive post in the Kagams! You'll fit right in!
Welcome Malantur! You look like you found your clan. The Burx are a fun clan!
I'm happy to see some shiny new faces!

2: yesterday (2/12/2005 7:14:44 AM) I got my salary, but when I tried today (2/13/2005 6:02:06 AM) it didn't work. It is a daily salary, isn't it? Or is the server still updating at 6:02 AM.

Gimli - Welcome!! I hope you have a long and plesant life in Khazad-Dum... make sure to choose your clan carefully!
Balin - First off, Varkin!! Secondly, The salary is a tricksy beastie... it only lets you get your salary once every 24 hours. So you would have to wait until 7:14:44 am today before getting it... see? It confuses me tooo.

Balin the Brave: Welcome amongst the Dwarves. I’m Dutch as well, and really, it’s no problem if you want to join RPG’s, Games or other activities. No one ever complained about my spelling-skills ( accept myself *g* )! Good luck... Oh, and if you’d like, in the OoME ( Out of Middle-Earth ) Forum, there is a certain thread called "NDS". Go there if you want to find other Dutch or Belgian people! And I nice thing to know might be that the founder of the Plaza was also Dutch! And one more thing, as I see you around interested in Khuzdul The word "Varkin" means welcome, and is rather often used around here!
Trumpkin: Welcome to the plaza. I hope you have a great time amongst the Kagams, and may Mahal be with you.
Malantur: Welcome to our Halls. I truly hope you made the good choice, and have loads and loads of fun here. I hope to see you around.
Gimli: I’m glad to see a new face around here! I hope to see youn around in Khazad-dûm, mate!
