NOTICE: Check Posts 2 and 3 for important update information
This will be a sucession game, played from spring to spring, saved and handed over to the next player at about early spring 1st. 1 year turns. We are using .03; it may have minor issues but it is awesome.
THE WORLD:
The Domain Of Portents.
Our parent civ is the "Pearl of Dyes" or somesuch. It is the oldest Civ in the world, having been founded in 1, in the first historical event in the world.
There is an immense ammount of forgotten beasts and demons that populate this world, above and below ground. I won't bother to recite them. It is appropriately epic.
THE SITE:
The Ice of Melting on The Lustrous Island. A 3x3 centered on the volcano "The Maligned Volcano" It is a glacier with no wood, possibly no flux, possibly no carbon fuels, and no natural water. The water is okay though, because we live on a glacier volcano. At any rate, any natural water would be seawater anyway.
It is a brutal starting map, but I know it well, and I will have farms and everything needed for survival up and running before my turn is up. I will not tolerate any cats to survive in the fortress, but will bring some breeding dogs for food eventually.
We have no trade with Humans, Elves, or Goblins, but trust me when I say that the overworld is not our chief threat or concern. ALso, apparently you will not freeze to death from being outside.
We do, however, get trade from the dwarves and migrants.
There is an antman civ. We will be meeting them very soon.
EMBARKING: (ED)
We are the Dwarves of GoldAnguisged.
CONCLUSION:
The game is in full swing, if you would like to be dwarfed, post your preferred nickname and profession, and the person currently running the most active game will dwarf you. I will post relevant information as requested.
