As I said in the last post, the objective will be to create a military fortress with the goal of trying to tame the wilderness and allow trade caravans to safely cross the deserts of the World of Bones. I've checked the neighboring civilizations and we are within range of the Humans, Goblins, Dwarves
,and a Necromancer's Tower. I think the long-term goal of this fortress, whether or not I can make it that far, will be to try and topple that tower, as that's likely a heavy influencer of the stability of the lands northwest of the Mountain Homes. It is a sand desert, a warm temperature, and the trees are scarce, with wilderness surroundings. It has sand (of course), little soil, shallow and deep metals, and a flux stone layer.
I will be experimenting with my next posts, as I'm new to this succession business, and unsure if I want to keep trying to be in character for
all of them. I think I'm trying to find a style that suits me without having to put too much work into it or take too much time whilst still being an enjoyable read for you guys or whoever else checks in. Should this fortress fail, either immediately or otherwise, before my time is up on this succession phase, I'll hand it off to the next person there and then.
figured it would be flat, but I didn't think it'd be this flat, but that's alright, we can just dig down and build a wall around the entrance. But I'm curious about where exactly I'll be putting the entrance. Close to the water and using it as a wall might be helpful for defense, and I could put a fishing dock or something there, but it's also pretty far away from that car which isn't that big of a deal I suppose. Not to mention I could use the water from the lake to create an irrigated farm, there is a conveniently shaped small square peninsula there.
I'll get started now and provide yearly updates as I usually do.
