See, the thing is I want to ask to be dorfed as some weird dwarf with a book which is sort of a telepathic link from his deity, and it would look kind of silly if the deity isn't related to literacy in some way.
I can give you an unnamed dwarf with a custom profession title, or a dwarf with no name or custom profession title.
I did a quick check, and it seems the only dwarves that worship a deity were those generated within the fortress, not those who were historical figures pulled out of the existing population. The only adult dwarves who worship deities are the starting seven. The only other dwarves who worship deities are the children born within the fortress.
Deities I have seen worshipped:
RakasMost often takes the form of a male dwarf.
Associated with trade and wealth.
GebTakes the form of a female dwarf.
Associated with war and fortresses.
èzum Salvebusts the Crystalline OarsMost often takes the form of a male dwarf.
Is associated with crafts.
History of cursing dwarves with vampirism and turning them into werebeasts.
Doren Minecopper the Wall of CrystalTakes the form of a female bobcat.
Associated with mountains.
Vudnis CaveheroesTakes the form of a male dwarf.
Associated with fame and rumors.
Luskal Poemlathered the Taker of MatchingTakes the form of a male dwarf.
Associated with music and valor.
útostTakes the form of a female dwarf.
Associated with jewels, minerals, and metals.
Thun Firstrule the Regal Mastery of KingsTakes the form of a female dwarf.
Associated with rulership.
And that’s it.
I can establish some temples for these deities in the fortress, but that’s going to be a project of its own.
Helgarde’s Personal Journal, 19th Galena 659Following the siege, I took the Baron off the 1st Axe and promoted Lòr Istbarsigun to captain of the squad, since I need him to meet with the outpost liason. If he does not, we’re not going to get urgent supplies other than gypsum from the autumn caravan. Since the mayor was in really poor shape, I went through some of his papers - there’s a default option to ship gypsum here if no specific trade agreement is made, but nothing else. This could be really bad.
Because the lower caverns are now being invaded by a fire-breathing dinosaur, I need to reinforce the adamantine mine by paving over the surrounding water and putting down some grates. I had two of the masterwork beds installed in the rooms we carved out at the beginning of the year and ordered a mason’s shop built, along with a stockpile for phyllite. It is being put in a corridor since we don’t really have anywhere else to put it at the moment. Since the former mayor is a high master mason, I found a way to get her to process the phyllite into blocks right where we need it.
The Other Capitols have been researching some bizarre “magicks”, and I managed to get a hold of an unpublished tome called “Geass for Gypsumheads” before I arrived here at Demongate. Recently, with all the chaos and the magma forges starting up, I decided to read it and see whether there was any kind of useful information in there. Man, this stuff is deep. Suffice it to say the Geass puts the subject under a spell of compulsion for a yet-uncertain period of time, and I managed to put it on the former mayor to create a detox zone. I tweaked the spell to also cover the Baron, so he should be forced to stop storing his old military equipment. The zone covers the mayor’s chambers, the Baron’s chambers, the food stockpile, the dining hall, the furnaces, and the area around the adamantine mine with the required equipment to make phyllite blocks and furniture. I’ve put the “Geass Zone” onto the formal burrow list so nobody gets confused.
I also put down some restrictions on walking over tree saplings and forgotten beast webs, ordered a completion of the entrance paving in preparations for laying down cage traps, and am going to test out the aquifer for power generation.Yes, we’re down to taking some drastic measures.
Helgarde’s Personal Journal, 24th Galena 659After being hit by my Geass spell, the Baron went to his quarters to get changed. After the liason followed him in, I locked the door. He is conducting the meeting with the liason and not wearing much clothing at all.The main body of Usu the forgotten beast got butchered. There is still the tail and head to go, but I think we’ve got a lot more meat and fat.End of Summer Report by Helgarde, 28th Galena 659The year rapidly draws to a close, even though half of it is left. It looks like the Baron is being promoted to a Count, which means more mandates to deal with. A pump is in construction in the flooded area where we removed the aquifer above the magma pipes, and I will experiment to see whether we can use it for power generation. We may be able to get 1200 or more urists of power out if it works.
Other highlights of the season involve being sieged for a second time by a small band of humans, fighting off a forgotten beast in the adamantine mine, the election of a new mayor, carving out an obsidian fabricator, digging out a new pumpstack, and getting the magma furnaces running.Guildmaster’s Journal, 1st Limestone 659Today the Baron finalised the order from the Mountainhomes.Guildmaster’s Journal, 10th LimetoneI’ve confirmed we can induce a flow in a good portion of flooded terrain, which means we can generate power. Having taken a short break, we will commence mining work to convert this area into a power plant.
