Welcome to Icedeath, founded by The Strategic Stake. Seven dwarves have been ordered to start a fortress here. Two miners, a mason, a noble, a farmer, and two guards shall make a fortress.

So, to start off, this fortress is a 3x3 in a 8 biome tundra, 1 biome arctic ocean. The oceans aquifer will provide water, while the tundra shall provide home. This fort is a community, meaning you can be named after a dwarf.

The Dwarves :

An Adequate mason, also novice engraver and novice building designer.
A competent appraiser, adequate record keeper and intimidator, novice judge of intent, negotiator, and organizer.

[Taricus]

I'll take a blacksmith.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

Sure, when an immigrat arrives. Also, starting now.

[Caevin]

Heh, sounds like it should be fun. If it isn't too cold to walk outside, it isn't easy enough!

But anyway, I'd love to be a noble, I've always wanted to be obnoxious.

[Taricus]

You start mandating going into hell I'll start a union, you have been warned.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

Sure. Also, I'm not very good at writing, so don't expect the best of stories.

Granite the 1st as by Sigun Ducimtastrod, Axedwarf

Well, today I woke up in the wagon to angry voices. "Well? Can you fix it?" "We have no carpenters! I'm a mason. How am I supposed to fix this!" "Well why didn't we bring one!" "We're in a tundra. We have no trees, Vabok." "You will call me Caevin! And if we can't fix the wagon, we will build our fortress right here!" Zasit, one of the miners, hefted his pick. "You two! Soldiers! Guard our camp. Miners, STRIKE THE EARTH!"

Author's note : Soon after this, the miner's struck limonite and calcite. This is the author's first attempt at making steel. A while after this, the author found out he had a cavern, then a deep pit, then a cavern, then a downward passage, then adamantine.

The fort defense :

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A lever is pulled, pulling the bridge to disallow direct access. This forces enemys to walk along the long path, allowing our military time to attack. This also gives us an advantage against large enemy forces, as only a few soldiers can fight at the same time.

[Valrandir]

Dwarf me as Valrandir the dabbling swordsman.

[peregarrett]

Gonna be fun. Dorf me as Peregarrett, dwarf who made mechanisms for that bridge - I guess he's dabbling mechanic now.

[SalmonGod]

I'll claim one SalmonGod the Icefisherdwarf.  I also claim the first whip available to the fortress.  Try not to draft me until I can be equipped with a whip... and a fishbone helm.
