You run further into the fortress... Screams of demons surrounding you. Suddenly, you find yourself in a shrine that is littered with engravings... You find depictions of the dwarf "Strongheart". You believe this dwarf was the leader of Minelocks, but some say that he lives on... You see other statues, including a one depicting the very dwarf Heatblade, legendary militia commander.
A large wall encompasses it, as you walk through, you look at Minelock's history. Tales of a giant anaconda striking down a human are common. The many goblin sieges that have died... The slaying of the goblin war leader... The breaching of hell... Minelocks has had it's share of history, and the engravings also tell of fell beasts living deep in the fortress... But, you hear the cries of a dwarf. At the end of the halls, a glowing wall lies... You hear the moans of a dwarf behind the wall...

You sit down before the engravings, and begin meditating on your past.
You were born in 160, in the mountain halls of Steelburies... You remember the faces of the dwarves, but no names. You were raised by your father, named Urist Kuril, a brilliant mastermind of stone. He was the dwarf who came with the starting seven dwarves who built the foundations of Steelburies, they labored hard and got a thriving fortress running. Your mother was the broker of Steelburied, trading with various caravans... One gloomy day, she was walking out in the fields just north of the fortress. Out in the trees, a goblin ambush came... The sights of a goblin bowman come into your mind, and he strikes down your mother.
It was then, you felt disheartened, but could bear with the hinders of this world... The Bronze Order then laid siege on the fortress, killing your father and all others... But you escaped. You remember bringing your father's belongings and tools, a set of plans. You just remember you buried it infront of a tree at your old base.
You stop and slowly stand up. The moans behind the wall seem just asking to be discovered. Could there be a surviving dwarf?
You meditated on your past and remember your father's belongings buried infront of a tree inside your old base. Perhaps there could be something of use?
You name your rutherer and fluffy wambler. You also bestow a name on yourself.
You have named your Rutherer "Bloodsore".
You have named your Fluffy Wambler "Plump".
You have been named "Deathwish the Powerful"!
