From the journal of Asmel Esteemgirders, Expedition Leader,
"The progress we have made in these first short months has been staggering. Soon, I believe, we will have our home mined out and it will be full of life, parties, and much drinking; at the moment, however, we have been forced to sleep at the entrance to our cave while the our homes are being built inside the mined out areas of our cave.
The galena deposits worry me about our chosen location and to make things worse we have uncovered many over toxic stones. We would do our best to clear them out before children begin to enter our village. They do have their uses. One of us, Midna, has offered to smelt the ores into bars so that we may make use of the galena, liberating as much silver from it as we can so we may make many beautiful objects for our temples; the lead will most likely be used to make mugs to trade to the unknowing elves."

"I would love to move into a real home soon. A nice little room for myself, a bedroom, an office. Everything a dwarf needs." Plump rather missed her old room at Soundedcloisters. She had a small patch of soil just so she could grow plants and feed them to her purring maggots. If only she had collected them for the trip, she would be able to make much more cheese to sustain them than she had brought with her.
"Oh, we've got a great place to live in this cave Kurel and Honnou have mined out for us. If only we could be near the entrance, to let the fresh air vitalize us every morning. I would like that, wouldn't you, Plump?" Gregor was an odd dwarf. He had never really lived in Soundedcloisters for long, but instead had lived in the surrounding forests and on the mountains of the area. He became interested in nature and the forests at a young age, but only when he reached adulthood could explore his interests. He met with elves and negotiated many times as a representative of the dwarves and because of him there was rarely conflict between the two races.
During Gregor's stays with the elves he learned much from their religion, eventually becoming a druid himself, inducted into the inner elven society by the grand master of the druids himself. He found his life among the elves far more exciting than that of his mountain dwelling relations: he could venture where he wished and converse with the beings of the forest.
The two dwarves, Plump and Gregor were great friends during their travel to the Earthen Towers and when they arrived, the two announced that they were in love. They were a perfect match for each other, their love of nature unparalleled, almost elven.
"When this place grows, we should move out. Build ourselves a home out in the forest surrounding our mountain," Gregor said.
"We could raise a great family out there. I could even get back to growing my plants!"
"Yes, that is what we will do then."

Yeah. You read that right, one of the dwarves is a druid. He's not a druid completely though, his major skill is woodcrafting, since druids for some reason or other can't be controlled in dwarf mode. It adds to his personality and is kind of my way of spiting webadict for not giving me any skills for him... He's our all around craft dwarf and when I was checking his personality out I noticed his lover was Plump, thus giving me a great little story there. Next update should be around tomorrow; it'll be whenever I reach winter in the fort.
EDIT: Okay, this poses a problem. Dwarves aren't really making relationships right, as Honnou (male) and Ousire (m) are lovers as of the moment. I'm just going to pull some shenanigans and make Honnou a girl to fix this, sorry.
