Diamonddreams, the Dwarven Library! [42.03]
« on: December 11, 2015, 09:50:11 am »

My cunning plan is to create a fortress like no other - based not on fighting, but on peaceful study, writing and arts. Diamonddreams will consist of a library tower, living quarters, a tavern and a cathedral, but little else. Dwarves will be refined and intelligent, writing books and pondering philosophy. The arts will also be encouraged, with dancing and poetry.

Even the sub-class of servants and workers who mine, smith and farm will be cultured and refined.

This will not be a succession fortress, but you can be dorfed if you wish, and rename them. I will be updating from the point of view of the dwarf/ves I choose as my avatars in DF.

It is a small world with frequent minerals and 550 year history. Its name is the Land of Vision - perhaps an omen?

Thob Steamyboat, the chemist and mathematician, is yours!

Her description is here: http://imgur.com/3h9U4Xj

I even translated her nickname into dwarven for that extra touch. Now, if I could only figure out how to insert imgur pictures into forum posts...

Greetings I would like to be dorfed has Velvet a female herbalist that ponders in the matter of death and diseases, and might have a bit of military training even thought there might not be a real militar force in the settlement, and she gets rusty.
