Ok, let's just wait for some newbies to arrive.
Good choice...
2nd FelsiteThank the mountainhomes, we have immigrants! A few years ago I would have dreaded to see this, but today some 19 new dwarves showed up at the entrance, asking to join our fortress. And by some amazing luck, only one of them was a child! We can sorely use this influx of workers, and we have food and bedrooms to spare.
Looking over the list of immigrants, I'm struck by a really surprising fact. A suspicious number of them have been to our fortress before, as members of trade caravans. Explains how they knew of our fortress and how to get here, but I'm really taken with the fact that such a high number of the dwaves who visit our fortress on official business later decide to live here.
Three of our former outpost liaisons have moved here now. We have Vucar Adaskeskal first. Her only non-social skill is beekeeping, which won't be much ue here, but she's very social and should get along well. Then there's Iteb Ralukurdim. She has some skill with Animal Training. Finally Iden Ushulmomuz. She claims to be a Hunter, although I had to explain to her that we mostly trap-and-domesticate here.
There are five former Traders here as citizens now, looking for new jobs. Moldath Imushilun as some skills in architecture. Amost Areltun is a Novice Potash Maker. Deler Gimsigun has some medical experience, he can help out Cain in the hospital. Zefon Kivishkegeth says he once operated Siege Engines. Iteth Tathurral is a Furnace Operator - she can help out in the new magma forges.
Of our other eleven immigrants, Urist Ostarmedtob stands out. He gave his profession as Lye Maker, but on further questioning admitted to being a Competent Metal Crafter. Excellent, that's a skill we're lacking at the moment. He came with his 8 year old daughter, Tobul Morulsuvas, but refused to answer when asked who her mother was.
I also took notice of Avuz Udeshdastot. He seems a mopey and sad fellow, but has significant skill with operating siege engines.
Deler Kubukud says she's just a Peasant, but she has more skill with a war hammer than most of our soldiers. She's going into the military for sure.
Mistem Sazirelis introduced herself as a High Master Wound Dresser and Surgeon. She also claims to be an Engraver - says it's just like surgery, but with less screaming.
