Anyone need to be redwarfed/want to be dwarfed?
The following excerpt was taken out of
Pricemines: The Truth Behind the Legend by the late expert on early Dwarven history P. E. R. Sus XIII
Chapter 8: The Legend of the Kingmaker Owing to the continued discovery of enemy sympathizers among the ranks of Pricemines and the subsequent no confidence vote in Deus Asmoth’s leadership, it was Persus who found herself in charge of the fortress of Pricemines. Knowledge of the events of this time is greatly aided by the recent discovery that the dwarf Persus kept a journal of her leadership in the fort. This journal was found in a collection of papers from the library of the deposed King Org the Mad and I translated it from Proto-Dwarf myself. A large portion of this chapter will be excerpts from said journal.

Always tell the truth is my motto. Now I know that some of dwarves in our fort are lying. Too much freedom has prompted them to desire more, and now I have been put in charge by a mysterious force. The dwarf who told me it was my destiny to take charge gave me no name, merely that he was the Kingmaker. He told me of the events that would sweep me to power before they even happened. But this dwarf I knew not, he hid his face. I don’t know if he can be trusted, but I will take charge of this fort as he commanded, and I will root out the truth.24 Opal 131
I stepped outside and vomited, not from the sun, but because of all the corpses, clothing and all the other vomit covering the place. We needed a roof, and we also need this mess to be cleaned. (Seriously, if it's green, its vomit)
Why do we have 51 cave spiders? I knew we had some, but so many? Why couldn’t we train sloth men instead? We have a total 125 pets, according to the bookkeeper Toaster. In order to decrease the amount of pets, I have ordered all non-essential work animals to be slaughtered, sparing only a few puppies, the war and hunting dogs, and the pets after I was convinced by my council that this open revocation of dwarven freedom would be met with rebellion from the pet owners. With great reluctance, the cave spiders were also mostly spared. The animal trainers almost staged a riot when they found out all their work attempting to domesticate the cave spiders would be for naught. I ordered only one slaughtered, as a message that while I accepted their pleas, I had the power to slaughter the spiders. This whole episode is a classic example of the high amount of freedom those at this fortress have. What lunacy will be next, having everyone vote on who the scum infiltrating the fortress?This is the first time the Kingmaker was ever mentioned, and my belief is that this Kingmaker doesn't exist, but is merely a way for Persus to justify her coup over Deus Asmoth either to herself or to the unnamed council mentioned in these entries.
