Tales from the AWESOME Start site:
Year two!
It had been a bussy autum and what seemed an even more busy winter.. With most farm plots too cold to plant seed, virtually everyone had been toiling away on the seemingly endless Walls for the planed Glorious Fortress. Just inside the mountain behind the construction site, the expedtion leader, Urist McUrist sat pondering in his study...
Those not at work on the great walls where busy digging away the proposed magma cannal.. It was something that had gripped the small population of "Eldermanors" with excitment.. The prospect of magma would forevr free them from the dreaded fuel... Wood... One more step from thier freedom of those no good Hippie Elves.
One snag remained, well, several to besure... But as the tunnelers moved closer to the great Magma Pipe, Urist McUrist grumbled.. So far not a single pebble of Bauxite had been found, and no carvan had yet come with the precious material. Suddenily into his study burst his Second in command.
"Great Urist! Wonderfull news, of the new comers was siezed by a mood! he has created for us our very first artifact!" Urist looked up, he could see the glow of the object as he held it in his hand.
"Is, is that Wood? and, M-Microline?" Urist winced, and almost spat as he recognized two of his most hated materials.. the ONLY two materials the great 'artifact' was comprised of... Then.. a wild look came to his eyes.
"Wait... Isnt this a Floodgate?"
