Downloaded the save, i'm a bit busy but i should have the posts soon.

Edit: Good god what the hell is this, i've spent the last hour trying to get the bloody workers working, designating new spaces for workshops, i have no clue where ANYTHING is, what is up and down and just how we have this many dwarves stowed here. The farms are tiny as well and we're running out of booze. Argh This is gonna be tough.

Edit Edit: Where the heck are the barracks(es)? I just arghle.
Don't forget to dwarf me!

Excellent drawing; the silhouette of Lenehan, in my opinion, captures the sinister atmosphere well.

And we were this close to yet another victim of Gnorm, the Overseer Killer.

I myself was going to try my hand at Asmoth, though considering that you have legitimate talent where I do not, you'd certainly do a better job.

I'd give it a try, but drawing isn't one of my strong points.

My thirst for updates has let me to look through Legends mode, sifting around for some history on the dwarves of Steelhold. Here's some fun stuff:

Ensomden was attacked by a one-eyed horror when he was a few months old. The horror smashed one of his molars. Two years later, the mate of a different horror attacked him, but he got away safe and sound.

My dwarf took up hunting great beasts as soon as he got married - at age 12. By great beasts, I mean polar bears and yetis. He ambushed them. With a mace. Of particular interest is his feud with a yeti named Hushedenjoyed, which began in 217 and ended in 235, with Rhaken striking down the yeti after multiple encounters.

The general of our civilization, Onol Berūz, began her career as a humble architect. Then, after becoming general, she decided that running the military wasn't enough fun and began to make trips to the caverns. While there, she dedicated herself to taming the creatures of the deeps, such as giant olms, rutherers and cave crocodiles. Crocodile mcDundee?

Kivish Konosil, our queen, became monarch under strange circumstances. After pursuing a career in woodworking at the mountainhomes, she moved to Chainbell to become a soap maker. Some time later, she began to wander the wilds. After three years of wandering, she returned to the mountainhomes of Sprinkledlabor in 243 and immediately became queen. There is no mention of her husband joining in on her wanderings. Might be worth exploring this.

Of course, he may have simply crushed the forgotten beasts with his massive testicles.

Forget a spouse, he needs a full time gonad wrangler.

Jee wilikers, I think Highmax is near invulnerable, must have been dunked in the river styx like achilles was.
Just make sure he wears a boot.

Her mother/father? Who said a male had to take the throne you sexist maniac!? Just pulling your leg bud :P I recall in a book I read, the ruler is always a queen, not a king, but mind you the book is extremely sexist to men...

She could have just randomly gotten the throne either if the last monarch died with no children.

This is taking some doing, i've rebuilt the marksdwarf squad though i can't get them training yet, started expanding some areas and worked on trying to make the fort more interconnected but this unholy hive of pathways is driving even me insane. I can only wonder just what you've all been doing since the start of this place.

tl;dr: My fortress is literally powered by puppy skulls.

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I know I certainly haven't been performing gruesome experiments on my fellow dwarf.
