No slaves!

But, no, it still has to be elves. Especially since he's called Chinkis Mor which is about as Dwarf Fortress elven a name as you can get.

Random.org to break the tie.



(this means we'll go with trolls since the troll option is first going from top to bottom.)

War, let's be a bunch of angry xenophobic dwarves.

Lhankor Mhy for the second choice.

A clan of learned pillagers sounds about right for dwarfs. But then again, so do Uroxi beserkers.

I think I'll have to bandwagon on this guy.

Strongly, strongly disagree with War. If we're going to be a bunch of craftsmen, how the hell will we find customers if we routinely beat up and conquer our neighbors? No one will want to deal with us. Hell, maybe our god is opposed to unprovoked war for much the same reason.

I ain't saying we should be a bunch of peaceful beatniks, but being warlike isn't the solution. Balance will be key.

I'm fine with reawakening Lhankor Mhy though.

[A Thing]

Being a war clan in this just means having more warriors and doing more raids just so you all know. This isn't picking our victory condition, just what balance we want our clan to have.

[NRDL]

doing more raids

This is actually really appropriate considering DFs latest update.

+1, its downright difficult to fight enough in the early game to keep a War tribe happy.  We raid our neighbors, lose some warriors, then get our butts kicked because all our warriors died raiding everyone else.

Alright, since this is tied between I'm going with balanced. Seems appropriate for a clan which worships a strong king and his wiseman.

Bigger land is harder to patrol, so if you're wondering why not take the largest, that's why.

Since the second choice is the last choice besides naming, I would like it if you suggested a name now too. Since most of the names of the clans are "Owl," "Brown Boar," and such I would like it if you suggested an appropriately dwarfy animal for our clan.

[Sirus]

Land: More than we need, to grow into.

Name: Mole Clan!

[Arcvasti]

Land: Huge tracts of land, far more then we needed

Cows are transient. Land is eternal.

Name: Giant Sponge Clan

[Sirus]

The problem is, if we take too much land it's harder to patrol and enemy raiding teams can sneak in more easily. We must emulate the mighty fortress, with just a single entrance and exit, as much as KoDP mechanics allow.

[EuchreJack]

Land: Lots more than we might need (we'll fill it up quicker than the narrator things, I wager)

And our Name shall hearken back to most vicious creature in Dwarfdom:
Carp Clan!

The dragon choice is also one that can be voted on. No matter what we choose we don't end up coming to Dragon Pass early, for obvious reasons.
