Beardcastle has seen harsh times.
While the earlier mentioned starving of the current residents went well, with new migrants filling their ranks and not really caring about the stench and blood coming from that one room at the far end of the hall, i may have made a slight mistake.
I decided to blame all the reported murders and assorted crimes (several dozens) on a local and very dead polar bear, which caused the new residents to completely flip their shit and murder themselves. On top of that, the single bridge protection the fort from the outside was taken apart by a tantrummer, and goblin pikemen swept in and picked apart the remains.
Since then i've reclaimed (With said pikegoblins earning the title of honorary dwarves for killing a FB apparently lurking around) and after several years of burials (the catacombs are by far more populated than the actual fort), hauling socks, hauling corpses, yeti attacks, ambushes, sieges, forgotten beasts in the dining room, ecstatic vampire managers, a vast majority of moods being possessions, and almost all artifacts ending up decorated with dwarves being killed by local dragons, things are finally clearing up. Maybe i can finally get around to get the masons to make something more interesting than Rock Coffin x30. Maybe some chairs for the dining room. Some tables would be nice, too.
