The cry of the cold wind warns us of the presumed torment which is to come as we trudge through this sparse forest. It's damned cold this time of year, and the trees offer little protection from the winds.
Stripmining has left the mountainhomes empty. Our expedition of seven is expected to uncover vast mineral deposits and establish a mining outpost in a land beset on all sides by goblins, elves and humans.
The frozen over brook which ends in a waterfall atop a high cliff is a telltale sign. I turn to Urist and tell him to stop the caravan.
This must be it, we have reached Doomforests.
I hear a distant screech.

Armok have mercy on our souls.

The Continuation of the Saga of Doomforest

  Come join the convoluted mess that is Doomforest. When this fortress was started back in 2014, no one would even guess that it would be going "strong" well into 2016. Complete with Goblin Overlords, Vampiric Doomsday Sects, Soap, Forgotten Snails, Soap, Another Forgotten Snail, Soap, Cults, more Cults, Evil Demonic Beings, Soap, A colony of forgotten dwarves founded by a Were-Lizard, Soap, and a noticeable lack of Strawberries. And soap.

  Due to some unexpected complications within the last thread, including but not limited to, the threads owner going AWOL, I was tasked with the construction of this new thread.

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144852.msg5756091#msg5756091-Salmeuk steps up to take over after Drokles has a nervous breakdown. This is the year when Vutok bit a minotaur and shook him around by the head to save the fort. Crazy shit going down left and right, this year was just insane.

Official List of Current Cults

The Doomforest Paladinial Order

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Leader: Imic
Alignment: Chaotic Good

Purpose: To destroy all wrongdoers (E.G: The Order of the Black Arrow) and to preserve justice, truth, and peace as much they can.
Basically a nicer inquisition.
Also, they only use hammers.

They are the mortal enemies of the Order of the Black Arrows.
FOR DOOMFORESTS!
FOR JUSTICE!
FOR DWARVEN BEER!

The Ministry

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Leader: Prime Minister Smunstu
Alignment: Whatever mood Smunstu is in...

Initially a division sent by the mountainhomes to oversee the safety of the outpost, the ministry quickly turned into a ragtag bunch of survivors led by a mad doctor once things, hum, went awry. Doctor Taupe II perished years ago, leaving his pet goblin in charge.

The ministry is mostly regarded as a relic of older days, staying out of most conspiracies and clusterfucks, yet they are still called upon here and there when Doomforests' poor management hits a critical mass.

Past members include, but are not limited to, a baby and a piece of furniture.

The Mechatechno Sect

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Leader: TechnoXan (Although now in Zureks body aka TechnoXan II)
Alignment: Good? Mostly independent, focused on self gain, and Crundles...

Description: The Mechatechno sect is ages old carried down by great engineers and their apprentices. Dedicated to science, machines, and Crundles. Nature is important to the sect, but only to exploit and use. We aren't stinking Elves after all. Crundles have been discovered as hyper intelligent and are now fully devoted to the cause. The creatures are incredible in their ability to advance through years of social practices in mere weeks. The caverns are the holy grail to the sect. Home to native Crundles as well as magma, steam geysers, other exotic animals, ores, and perfect architectural opportunities. The caverns are paramount in the Mecha plans and must be protected at all costs. The sect always wins. Their is no way to stop the unending tide of science and progress.

Quotes:

TechnoXan. TechnoXan would drive a crundle to vandalism. - Taupe

Necromantic cults practicing evil magic! Vampire worshippers and... Another one, I don't really know what they do apart for venturing into the deeps and scaring the crundles away, for they are irrelevant, but that doesn't make them less evil! - Mate 888

The Order of the Ale

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Leader: Dark Two
Alignment: Lawful Neutral

The first official knightly order of Doomfotests (both in game and in RP). Their main goals are maintaining overall safety of the fortress, charity actions and praising the booze. The Order has important impact on political elections (as can be seen from Pencil_ Art's mayoral reelection). They are close associates of The Ministry, which had great impact on founding of the Order.

The Order of the Black Arrow

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Leader: Airith (Ryukan) Overall Command: Smunstu Commands Doomforest Division
Official Color: Black
Alignment: Lawful Evil

  The mysterious order only appeared in Doomforest very recently, but they have already spread their power farther than even they thought. Case in point, the Strawberry riots of 2??. Their goal is shroaded by the black robes they wear. When threatened, they can call upon the Truthbearers, women, blinded at birth and trained for 21 years nonstop in the art of assassination and counter-espionage.

  With the death of Ryukan, Airith has ascended to the office of Headmistress. While Smunstu has been declared the Head of the Doomforest Division. Ryukan's Spirit now resides in Smunstu's Sword.

Trivia: Ryukan's favorite dink is strawberry wine

The Inches of Torment

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Leader: Gogol
Alignment: Neutral Evil

In the past they were a group of goblin outcasts. Now they are a military force serving Gogol, the God of Suicide. They'll do everything to claim energy veins of Doomforests in the name of their dark god.

The Strawberry Association

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Leader: Gwolfski
Alignment: Strawberry

Strawberries, you know. Not raspberries, strawberries. Definitively strawberries.

The Veterans of Deathgate

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Leader: NCommander
Alignment: Neutral Evil

As the name implies, these are the battle-hardened vets of the Fortress of Deathgate, whom are drawn to any fort that manages to breach hell. NCommander, within the first month of his rule, managed to do what none had yet manage, revive the fortress and bring a (false) sense off hope.

Hall of Quotes

Sigh…
Back in my day we had proper forgotten beasts. None of this namby-pamby nonsense! I mean, I don’t want a Supergoat or anything, but it would be quite nice to be “slayer of something-or-other” and have people actually impressed by it.

Now, the Continuation of the unnatural abomination that is Doomforest.

Abandon All Hope, Ye Dorfs Who Read This Here...

[Gwolfski]

YaY!!  strawberries shall  be had!

[Imic]

sorry, ignore this post.
But now that it's here, SOAP!!!
HANG ON, I'm not on the turn list.
*loads bazooka*
Pu. Me. On. NOOOOOOOWWWW.

[Sanctume]

Why do I feel dread when my name trails behind Gwolfski in the list?
Sanctume was once caught up in the latest in the web of intrigues and conspiracy, but now tangled and lost in confusion.

i know next to nothing about this fort and i suck at this game

Sounds like there will be great fun in your turn! You only need to know one thing: Soap is for Doomforest what Mugs was for Spearbreakers. It's literally everywhere, and damn, people dorfs use it all the time to seal or build stuff
With that said, why isn't there a Cult of Soap?

With that out of the way: You need a Dorfing list! And put me on:
Name: Mihr
Gender: don't really care. Whatever you find.
Profession: Military Dwarf (preferred Sword or Spear) or Smith (preferred Weapon and/or Armor)
Custom profession name: Clumsy Weapon Master/Mistress (I totally expect to loose something in a fight - i sure hope it won't be my life )

[Sacasco]

When it comes to cults, wasn't there... something about crundles? I've lost track.

Ah, yes, TechnoXan. I feel there's a summary of that cult somewhere in the depths of the old thread, but am unable to find it. Still, his turn next (possibly) and I shudder to think what may happen.

Well, the way I see it, there isn't a cult of Soap for the same reason most forts don't have a cult of Armok. Even we only have a cult(s (maybe, like I said I've lost track. I think we have more than one)) of Armok because we have enough other weird ones that not everyone follows Armok. There is, however, no-one in this fort who doubts the power of Soap. If anyone disagrees (which they won't, of course), I will throw soapstone at them until they no longer do.
Hang on, have I just formed a cult of Soap? I might have. This is not a problem.

[MoonyTheHuman]

Is dorfing allowed? if so, dorf me as a male dorf

There is a summery of the Mechatechno Sect on the front page under a spoiler, but I will edit it in later today. And about the turn, I may be able to, but I think I may have to hand it off early, if that proves to be a problem then that's ok. But if the fort ever stagnates, Armok forbid, I can step in.

Mr. TecnoXan, since jwoodward seems uninclined to finish his turn, I invoke Da Rules and it is by right, your turn... Armok save us all...

I'm only doing this to jump start the fort's new thread, so if jwoodward comes back... Sorry

For conspiracies (Not a Cult!) summary, use the one from the old thread's OP.  And I'm pretty sure we already have a soap cult. It's called Psycho's family and the other soapmakers.  I'm sure they'd let you join though.

Yeah I'll PM Angel to get a description of his "family" and their goals.
