It's the fetish for building from the left.  I always assume that's a religious thing.

Heck, they do a lot of things from the left. Especially channeling out empty spaces. It must be a religious thing with the dwarves D:

And then did ARMOK say, the east is the holiest of directions, and thou shouldst not stand there lest thou be strucketh. down by my holiest of beards. And then did the dorfs did say, we shall build from the west, for more do we fear the beard of ARMOK than the strike of the elephant.

Hehehe. Perhaps they build the walls from north and west to protect themselves from the angry glare of the horrifying, fiery orb known as the Sun, especially during morning and midday. Evenings seem to be ok.

By evening they're so drunk that they just don't notice it's evening already.

Permission to sig? =(

I like to imagine that the gods gave the dwarves the first anvil, and that anvil is kept in a highly secret location, for if all anvils are lost then the world will never have worked metal again.

No. The Dwarves gave the gods their anvil.

I always wondered why Dwarves would dodge off cliffs so much.
And then I realized they were committing suicide.
The horrors of the world are just too much.

Easy, the first dorfs embarked to the world with an anvil.

All dwarves possess the Secret of Quantum Mechanics. These principles enable them to stack items indefinitely, link machines together with no physical connection, make indestructible structures, and are entirely responsible for the behaviour of the Dwarven Catapult. It was initially granted to them by their deities so they could crowd into the narrow tunnels of the first mountainhome.

The dwarves must make regular offerings to Armok, and so they offer the blood of their enemies onto the earth. There, They are told to NEVER TOUCH IT, as it is holy, and defying Armok is unadvisable, lest the dwarves be smote by the holy beard.

Urist McStarkRavingMad: Can't you see it? We're all being watched by humans controlling our every action! Urist McSplodeyFace died because THEY WILLED IT! And the booze?! THE BOOZE!  It's only a bunch of ones and zeroes! ONES AND ZEROES zeroes and ones! ZEROoneoneoneZEROZEROoneZEROZEROoneoneoneZEROoneZEROoneZEROoneoneZEROoneoneZEROone! See?! Rum! Right there! Rum! Can't you see it in the ones and zeroes?! The rum isn't just gone, it never existed! And the food! The food was cooked without fire or ventilation out of brains and the zeros and ones! Even the food doesn't exist! WHY CAN NO ONE ELSE SEE IT?!


This... is what i imagine the dwarves who go insane suddenly realize. The meloncholic ones get suicidal, the stark raving mad ones are too obsessed with the food not being real to sustain themselves, and the berzerkers realize exactly what they're doing; they just want to cause as much frustration as payback as they can.

EPIC. Totally true. Especially with the Matrix tileset.

Easy, the first dorfs embarked to the world with an anvil.

A dwarf with an anvil had a strange mood and invented time travel.  Entering the world of pre-historic dwarves, he made anvils for them and they worshipped him as a god.  As they asked what to call him he was busy forging anvils, and almost hit his arm.  Releived that he was unhurt he remarked arm-ok.

Or their entity was permitted anvils, as the skeptics would say.

"But wait," you might say, brimming with skepticism, "Humans bring this to me on their first trip through, and my forts aren't ALWAYS covered in gore at that point."

Sigged.

+1 to the theory of beard relativity, Dwarves will treat hair to the fullest degree of healthcare possible, washing it and applying sutures where applicable.
