Prologue Boatmurdered, established in 1051, was the Dwarve's first attempt to settle the frontier.  The Dwarven Kingdom behind this settlement was that of Kinmelbil, a kingdom firmly entrenched in the mountains to the north of Boatmurdered.  On the 1st of Granite, 1051 Boatmurdered was settled by a band of seven brave dwarves known as the Persuasive Bodices.   Among these seven dwarves was one Torret Doge.  This brave (though some insist on foolish) Dwarf led the initial band of seven into these unknown lands. He personally resided over the fortress in it's first year before stepping down. While the records of Boatmurdered are hazy, as records were barely kept, we do know a bit of information about a handful of other rules from excavation.    While what we saw in the ruins depicted a group of bumbling incompetants, Artist's engravings of events also give reason to believe that these idiots also had their moments of bravery.  After a period of no communication, a new ruler emerged. A one Mystic Mongol.  Each of these rulers presided over the fortress for a single year, though there were a few exceptions. One of these exceptions was a dwarf who proclaimed himself to be Emperor.  Emperor Sankis Gatinbomrek the First ruled the fortress of Boatmurdered on two seperate occasions. During the second reign of Megor Grendel in the early 1060s, our records show that, sometime during this time, the self-proclaimed Emperor Sankis became so enraged that he began savagely beating a fellow dwarf. While on fire.  Artist's depiction of the self-proclaimed Emperor Sankis's fiery rampage. (Thanks Locus) His victim caught fire during his merciless beating by Sankis, who was now completley engulfed in fire. While the fire eventually killed Emperor Sankis, it was also too late for his victim who too succumbed to the flame. Some time later the fortress was abandoned by the last ruler of Boatmurdered, Guerilla Medic, who is widely acknowledged by scholar's to be the most intelligent of all the dwarves that resided in Boat Murdered. He is thought to have been eaten by an Elephant soon after his departure.  (Thanks Shanty!) Strike the Earth! In the end months of 1064, while the flames of Boatmurdered were finally beginning to subside, another group of Dwarves sanctioned by the Dwarven Kingdoms set out to their new destination.   On the 1st of Granite, 1065 this group arrived at their destination.   Map of the World  All known locations are labeled. The fuck is this shit This is a Let's Play! Dwarf Fortress thread, not to be confused with a Succession game which can be found here. However, your participation is still welcome and very much encouraged. I'll be naming Dwarves after the posters here on a first come, first serve basis. You may also ask for a specific job though depending on the state of the fort, I may not be able to comply. From time to time, I may also be asking what to do next. (For example, once I feel I'm ready i'll poll here for unleashing the demons) Updates will be posted every so often, so i'll try to do it as much as possible. They may be posted more or less depending on what happens (or lack of happening) in the fortress. Lastly, this is my first fortress in a VERY long time. Shit is sure to happen. Edit: I started with: 1 miner 1 Carpenter/Woodcutter 1 Mechanic 2 Farmers 1 Mason/Engraver 1 Craftsdwarf/Engraver Sankis fucked around with this message at Mar 06, 2007 around 18:32

You're an amazing despot and I would appreciate a dwarf named after me. A miner perhaps, or a craftsdwarf. |

I really really want to be an engraver just like the old legendary Sankis Gatinbomrek who had a knack for engraving terrified dwarves surrounded by toads and elephants in the fetal position. |

Put me in when you get a proper military up and running. I want to be a sergeant!  Edit: Maybe engraver would be more appropriate. I'll leave it up to you. Engraver or armydwarf or former engraver turned armydwarf. Shanty fucked around with this message at Mar 06, 2007 around 18:38

The first seven are named Immediately I give everyone orders. I'm wasting no time finding more food, chopping, or digging.  Just a slight progress update  Still not quite sure how I'm going to make the fortress. It'll probably resemble boatmurdered, though! Atleast the front.

I will be whoever you need to be, but come on, how badass would it be to a legendary swordsmith named after a real one. Please name him Turnus, not the dumb Robo part. |

Woohooo As a ruler who was responsible for a massive military buildup (and also the death of 60 dwarves at the manipulative apendages of a monarch butterfly, but history seems to have forgotten that one) I am glad to be remembered in such a way

Not much happening right now. Manos is mining his ass off. He's up to professional. I'm making bins and barrels by the tons. I made two wooden crossbows and some ammo for emergency defense. It'll be autumn soon and my farming isn't even done yet, though, which makes me very nervous.  Edit: No sign of the metalsmith yet, either. I'm confused. Late summer now!

Sweet, another one of these. Sign me up for whatever when there is room! Also, I promise not to kill you and your kitten this time Sankis, like i did in the last one of these. Of course it's a bit of a trivial promise since you don't have a dwarf of your own this time, but hey it's better than nothing! Swamp Fox fucked around with this message at Mar 06, 2007 around 20:22

While my duties to Castlerooter won't be hampered, I should note that at my previous assignment, the farms didn't get set up until mid-autumn, We were able to reap one harvest of Plump Helmets, but it was nary enough supply us through the winter. A late-arriving caravan spared us decimation from starvation, but it was decided early to abandon the settlement. Now I'm in your service and happy to hack away at the rock, but it sure would be nice if I didn't have to resort to eating stringy peasant meat this time. |
