Whomever pulls the upright adamantine sword from the rock becomes the ruler - is it going to be that sort of story?
If we find one of those places then it'll be the first time I've seen one. I do like the idea of finding Dorfscalibur though.

Journal of Grim Ecodaru
It has been several months since my last entry in this journal. It is now mid-summer and we have made a great deal of progress on shaping the land to suit our needs.
Shortly after we arrived our mason began muttering about 'artistic vision' and 'grand designs' and scrawling plans on a piece of paper. When I asked him what he was doing he told me he was planning our future tavern. I was rather shocked when he told me he planned to build it over the waterfall to take advantage of 'the dramatic panorama and the calming effects of water falling'. I fear he may be insane.
I owe the mason an apology, he and our carpenter have labored day and night and I must say even in it's early stages the building shows promise.Our future tavern:
They've built a room below the main level that conforms to the natural flow of the cliff edges which lies open to the waterfall. I have to admit that the gentle spray of water and the mist that billows into the room is quite relaxing. I suggested to Splint that we train down there to help us keep cool during the exertion of sparring. Several of the others have started to go down there to relax and talk to one another.Our meeting hall:
Highmax has been spending a great deal of time at the sawmill churning out planks for our carpenter. Apparently the mason suggested he start constructing a wooden palisade around the edges of our prospective town until a stone wall can be built.
Our tavern is furnished now. It is so very nice to be able to sit and eat in peace, with no sound but the murmur of conversation and the roar of the waterfall.The dining room:
We have yet to finish building walls to keep the beasts at bay and have not even begun the construction of homes, but I can still say we have done more than any human for a hundred years has dared to do. Our progress has attracted a few individuals out of the wilds. A weaver who claims to have some medical experience, and whom I have asked to be our physician, a man claiming a wide skillset who I have requested be our smith, and a most strange individual who introduced himself as Fishybang and immediately set off to the riverbank._______________________________
Highmax has managed to become a legendary woodcutter by making umpteen wood planks, we have the basics of our central building done and I've started on walls. We only got three migrants so far but we have another wave to expect and I'll try to make some expensive stuff by the time it arrives to boost the numbers we get. Sadly our only female cat managed to fall down the waterfall and is now trapped, though alive. I may need to rescue her before too long. Splint and I are training with our bronze spears but I brought some hematite on embark so we should be able to improve on that before long.
