Lorbam our engraver came to me wishing to change his name. I allowed it and she is now known as Barbarossa.

if it was a he before, why change it?

Thanks for pointing out the typo. Your dwarf has always been a she and always will be a she.

Mad Larks: Got that request marked down.

Legolord: I think I can do that. Maybe I'll set him up as the healer or something so he can be lazy all day since no one seems to get hurt here.

Hey, on that subject, could LegoLord's first born be named Maxwell?  His proffesion name should be "Fat Lazy Dwarf," after my cat (although my cat's a fat lazy cat, not a fat lazy dwarf).

Why not a fat lazy dwarf cat?

[Heron TSG]

I say you should refer to her as he, unless he gets married 

[thunderclan]

Don't confuse me. I'm perfectly capable of doing that on my own. 

[Hawkfrost]

Oh, can I get an axedwarf named Hawkfrost?


Hehe, I see I'm not the only Warrior's fan here.

Got that right 

And your request is noted.

[Heron TSG]

I wonder what kind of sick and twisted doodles my dwarf is making right now. I know engraving isn't that important, but it sure makes for some high rent!

[thunderclan]

I actually haven't started engraving yet. I always wait until my Engraver is Legendary first.

[Heron TSG]

how does an engraver become legendary without engraving? 

[thunderclan]

By smoothing the the walls and floors of the fortress.

A very small update today
----------------------------
Fireheart's Journal 2nd Obsidian

Urvad came to me today to request a name change. He will now be known as Hawkfrost.

9th Obsidian

To celebrate his new name I had Sarek create a weapon for Hawkfrost. What he came up with was a beautiful battleax made from steel with the trout bone decoations that seem popular with our craftsdwarves.

21st Obsidian

We started construction of our road today. Korgan, Kornash and Orwen are working together on this project which includes a bridge over the brook. The entire thing is being made from limestone.

14th Granite

The Elves returned again. I ordered our bins of Goblin Junk up to the Depot and we watched them pick their way down the mountain.

We got another good haul. Traded Goblin junk for cages, barrels, alcohol, berrie and seeds, a muskox, 2 groundhogs and a dog in cages. The merchants were ecstatic with the profit they made this year.

19th Granite

The final piece of limestone has been laid on the road and the bridge extends in a graceful arc over the brook.

I have also given orders for a large area to the west of the fortress gates to be cleared and smoothed. I don't yet know what we will build there but its to good a location to pass up.
-------------------------------------
I'm open to any ideas for what to build here. Every idea will be considered no matter how strange or downright silly.

[LegoLord]

Build a giant building in the shape of a Lego Brick. 


Do it, do it, do it . . .

[Heron TSG]

Here's an idea for you...

Step 1: make that area into a ginormigantic tower, 2+ z-levels higher than your fortress's mountain.

Step 2: make a similar tower on top of your mountain

Step 3: make a narrow catwalk between the two, guarded by ballistae batteries and the like.

Step 4: add a drawbridge to the main gate that forces invaders to ascend the massive multi-z-level labyrinth of pain!

Alternatively, turn it into a resort hotel for notable (note: not noble) dwarves. add a 4/7 swimming pool, kitchens, everything.

 and make barbarossa add decoration?

And do to those towers what I originally suggested!  It would look awesome in a 3D visualizer.

[Heron TSG]

hmm, balconies with clear glass windows instead of the raised squares on a lego cube? this could be EPIC!

[Hawkfrost]

Build a gigantic tree out of stone, with trunk and branches a different colour than the leaves.

Make it the center of a meeting area.
Add a way for the leader of the fort to reach a low branch, so that he may perch above the others when it is time for a Gathering.
