The War of the Beard is a very controversial part of the Warhammer history. While the Dwarves claim that the High Elves attacked them first, the High Elves say that the Dwarves were mistaken and chose the wrong target. Here's what we know: a stupid war was declared without any good reason and it degenerated into a pointless carnage that caused the High Elves and the Dwarves to hate eachother since millenias.

So, it's time for a trial. We must decide once and for all who is right and who is wrong in this war. Each of us will have a role to play: judge, lawyer, witness, juror or other. Of course, none will flame anyone here, however intense the hatred between High Elves and Dwarves may be. Here's what we need:

-A judge. It can't be me, since I've already chosen my side. The judge must know the War of the Beard very well while being impartial. It may be difficult to find. The judge must also be present at this board as often as possible.
-Two or three lawyers for the High Elves (to involve as many people as possible). I'll be one of them. All the lawyers must also be active posters and have a deep knowledge of the events of the War of the Beard.
-Two or three lawyers for the Dwarves.
-Maybe a lawyer for the Dark Elves, since in my opinion they are the ones who started it all.
-Witnesses. The number doesn't matter. A lawyer may also play the role of a witness, if needed.
-Jurors. We don't need twelve if we can't get twelve --we just need as many as possible. The unanimity will be nearly impossible to reach, so a simple majority will be sufficient. It would be better if the jurors didn't know too much about the War of the Beard. They must be impartial.


The trial will not begin here. This topic was just to see how much interest there is and who wants to join us. If you want to participate, tell us what role you want to play. In a week or two, the real trial will begin, and it will be to the judge to start and manage it.

May justice be done.
