Well, it's finally time. Our long and arduous journey across the continent has come to a close and we are at the site henceforth known as Treasurebridged. I must stay positive. King Ngom Spidercusp(who's actually a lady, but calls herself king for reasons nobody understands) knows what she's doing. Perhaps I should start from the beginning so I can explain how we got into this mess.

The Goblins started by ransacking and taking over a settlement ironically named Ransackstakes. They enslaved everyone and nobody from there was ever seen again. For decades after, they seemed to leave us alone. Then, in the year 83...


After that, they just kept coming.




We haven't been attacked on such a scale since. However, something else started happening. Our kings started getting eaten by raptors(besides King Avuz; he was killed by cave turtle). Yearly. For a decade.

Spoiler: the various deaths (click to show/hide)

The kingdom fell into a depression after that. We didn't have another king for over a century. We were broken. Then "King" Ngom came.

She inspired us by telling us about riches in the Darklands. She said that we would lead us there, conquer it, and turn all of it into a new capital for us.

That's where I come in.

My name is Ashtar Nokgolgeshud. I'm leading the first expedition into the Darklands. I am accompanied by a miner, a mason, a clerk, a blacksmith, a guard, and a doctor. This is our story.

Long time no see, all. I've been gone for an eternity it feels like. I'll cut right to the chase. I've never done a community fortress before. I've done plenty of succession fortresses and participated in even more, but never this. How hard could it be?

First thing's first, I'm using Masterwork DF with all mods turned on. Every invader is enabled and the very earth will be trying to kill me. This could end very badly, very quickly. With that in mind, let's begin our journey together!



This is our world. Beautiful, isn't it? It's going to be the death of us. Vote in the comments where we should embark and feel free to ask questions! I've now created a poll from your suggestions. Vote!

P.S. Here's some music to go with tone I'm going for. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/Ov6e0RskT9A

i have studied this world long and hard about three minutes and i have found a rightful place could be better for our new home doom.
Purple area in the cold north, near to the east. We will die, but what of it.

[NCommander]

Evil glacier biome. Make you work somewhat for those farms.

[Mr Frog]

How about that evil-looking purple region in the center east? We can embark next to the ocean and have water pressure shenanigans to go with whatever the hell Masterwork has in evil biomes.

[The Master]

Writing up the first entry and I'll probably have it out sometime tomorrow!

EDIT: What a day! I'll have the first entry up tomorrow(6/5/16) actually.

To flesh out the OP, I'll be copying this there.
