The sun has set on the once-called fortress known as Clobbermountains. The fires have begun to quell. Long ago, the fort was bustling with life and its economy unmatched. Some called it the crown jewel of the kingdom. That all changed when The Great Destroyer came to power.
The details on how The Great Destroyer rose to highest position of power in a single night have been lost to history, but it is possible to speculate. Some say that it was through a simple thing known as a succession list. According to that theory, an overseer was simply elected in order of when an applicant applied. However, there are a few problem with this theory. One of them is that such a thing would be simply insane. Why would such a prosperous fortress have a system in which a single madman could end everything? Speaking of which, that is exactly what we do know happened.
On the day of the "election", The Great Destroyer was said to have made three immediate decrees. One, "Make a magma pool from the volcano powering the forges." Two, "dig random tunnels into the fortress was entirely hollow." And three, "Open the doors." With those three orders, the fate of the fortress was sealed.
You might be asking yourself, "Why didn't the dwarves revolt against such insane demands?" The answer to that question has, unfortunately again, been lost to time. The assumption of the writer of this historical article is that they simply did not know. How this is possible, I do not even understand.
Moving on, the invaders came and had their way with the place. They ransacked everything and then slaughtered the remaining inhabitants. I say remaining, because a large portion of the population melted. Some speculate this was due to magma filling up nearly the entire livable section of the fortress that hadn't already been slaughtered sometime earlier by the invaders in their previous attempt.
As a conclusion to this vaguely interesting piece of history, before we move on to much more fascinating places like Murderbunnies and Fuckingshithole, I would like to share with you a note found deep in the fortress. So deep, that it was found etched into a wall made of cyan-colored metal.
"My name is Ronald Dillinger and for 12 years I've lived here. Now, I escape."
Your fortress has crumbled to its end.
