Vanguard's Call to Arms

The following speech was given by Karrek Broadbeard to the assembled members of The Mountain Guard shortly after Thane Grungnir Orcbane's pledge to guard the petrified body of King Magni Bronzebeard.
As ye all know, The Mountain Guard has been retired as an active unit. It now passes inte slumber with its King. And as ye also know, a new Scourge masses in the North. Worse still, these walking dead serve the Horde. This new Scourge, the Forsaken, poses ah grave threat te all Dwarves, aye, even the Alliance itself. Te combat this, and other dangers, ah new force has been created. I have been tapped te lead this unit, ordained as The Dwarven Vanguard.
I hold many of ye closer than kin. I have fought and bled beside ye all. There is not ah Dwarf here who does not have my respect and admiration. When the Council of Three Hammers tasked me with pickin' good soldiers te form this new Regiment . . . I thought of you, my comrades in arms. I know that you have all sworn yerselves te The Mountain Guard, and te Thane Grungnir, but I ask those of you who are willing, te join me in this daunting task.
The Thane has given his blessing te any who choose te join me, and has agreed te release ye from yer oaths of service. I warn ye, The Dwarven Vanguard will be on the front lines, in the most dangerous battlefields. We face the Horde and the Dragons, and all the minions they've got between 'em. 
I blame no Dwarf who wishes te remain in Ironforge. The stewardship of Kings is an honorable, and worthy task. All of ye have earned yer rest, one thousand times over! But those of ye who wish te fight, those who are called to the field of battle . . .
Come with me! Together, we will be The Vanguard of the future! We will unite the Dwarven Clans, and drive back our foes! Together, we will herald the dawn of a new age! Come, brothers and sisters, with the blessing of Thane Grungnir, march with me!
Do ye answer the call?
