Deep Within the Dwarven Mountain Halls
Ryukan sat at a table in one of the many dining halls under the mountains, a mug of strawberry wine in one hand a Royal Edict in the other. Around him, dwarves sang or drank their night away without a care in the world. It would've irked him to no end on any other night, but this night was perhaps Ryukan's lowest in his life. His wife's caravan had been lost in the great deserts of the south and word had just reached him. To add insult to injury, the King had decided to choose that time to send a draft notice ordering him to take charge of a new outpost.
Normally, he would take this job offer up with no hesitation, being an overseer for hire was his living, but his mind was failing to register this Edict as a good thing. As the night wore on and the dancing crowd of drunk dwarves slowly dwindled, he continued to sit at the table, not touching his wine. Then he got up and left the Hall for his bedroom. Once to his modest room, he got into his bed and went to sleep. Unknown to him, as he closed his eyes, this would be the last time his eyes would see the ancient hewn stone of the Mountain Halls...

Hello fellow Dwarves, Lurkers, and other assorted people, I welcome you to my newest succession fortress. After an interesting subject was brought up in
this thread, I have decided to begin a new story. A story free from the greats of the past and trying to live up to them or copy them. I intend this to be a new experience to those who are still new around here and are afraid to jump into one of the more established fortress series and a safe haven away from said forts for you veterans out there. And to answer your question, yes, I will be waiting for the new update to come out to start playing.
The Rules of this fortress will be simple and relatively the same as a standard succession fort, though a few surprises will be added by me as this new fort gets going, but for now, the rules are as follows:
- Each turn will last 1 in-game year or two weeks irl
- Each Overseer is allowed construction of One Major Project in their reign
- Tampering with the projects of previous overseer's is highly discouraged, but exceptions can be made
- The use of Magma based weaponry is a must
Before this madness begins, I need volunteers for sacrif- er,
overseers:
- Ryukan
- fosstar
- MrPootis22
- Herodian
- Nehema
- zazq
- scourge
- SpottedWobbegong
- Portalman4
While I will not be taking dorfings right now, I will still be placing this here as a sort of place holder:
Any suggestions for mods and or embark locations will be highly valued and to all of you Lurkers, make an account and join. Without you we can not hope to thrive. As said, this is aiming to be a whole new story, fresh and open for any and all to join.
