Welcome everyone to this tail of the Abbey of Evisveration, a tale about a group of dwarfs who has been exiled from their homeland, to the Swamps of Barricading.
this is a place where there are none of their beloved mountains as far as the eye can see, in any direction, and furthermore they have hardly any resources to build there new life with.
Worst of all they were mugged on the way, so they have no tools at all

you can see the area they arrive at at here http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-10223-theawe-inspiringbeer-actofages and a new link will be set in the story every time there is an updated to the map

But let us first meet our unfortunate heroes:

Olin Olonrith - 66 years 13th Timber 984
Dubious worshipper of Kudust the Strifeful Idol
Faithful worshipper of Ok the Oily Towers
Her heliotrope eyes are set beneath low eyebrows, and her long russet hair is tied in a pony tail. Her pink skin covers her high cheekbones and narrow nose. she has a clear voice.
Olin grew up on one of the large plump helmet farms in one of the larger caverns south of the capitol, making food and alcohol, but after her mother died, and several floodings of the cave, Olin was left with nothing, no home, no work, nothing to sustain herself, and ended up stealing some Plump helmet biscuits.
Unfortunately for Olin she got caught, and as the prison cells were already filled, Olin was sentenced to join the Abbey of Evisceration, to help provide their food, should they survive long enough to get to the area designated in the Swamps of Barricading.
Olin is a friend of Sazir Rimtarfikod

Sazir Rimtarfikod - 63 years 9th Granite 987
Faithful worshipper of Ok the Oily Towers
worshipper of Kudust the Strifeful Idol
She is skinny. Her Large-irised heliotrope eyes are wide-set around a narrow nose. She has a very narrow chin. her long dry russet hair is arranged in double braids. She has pink skin and a clear voice
Sazir has been restless her entire life, never being able to settle she knows a bit about a lot of things, and is therefore not very saught after anywhere, as she excels in nothing
Sazir knows the basics of things such as weaving, tailoring, tanning, beekeeping, pressing and other skills, but do not know enough of any of them to grant her a place in the economy at home, and she therefore chose to tag along with the Abbey of Eviscaration, knowing well she will most likely never see her home again.
Sazir is being valued on the expedition as she is able to take many jobs, and the group is small
Sazir is a friend of Olin Olonrith and Id Etunikot

Id Eturnikot - 52 years 5th Granite 998
Worshipper of Id Minecanyon
Worshipper of Ok the Oily Towers
He is fat. He has a clear voice. His medium-length russet hair hair is arranged in double braids. His very long moustache and medium-length sideburns are neatly combed. His skin is pink. His narrow nose sits between slightyly rounded wide-set heliotrope eyes with very large irises. His ears are splayed out.
Id Eturnikot is a proficient mason, who used to work in the nobles' quaters, smoothing and engraving their rooms, building their gadgets and arranging their things to their liking
A series of "unfortunate accidents" happening to the nobles Id was working for was causing a big disturbance among the nobels between 1048 and 1050, and though there were no evidence of Id being involved at all, the only thing they had in common was that Id had been working in their quaters, so the king so no other way than send Id on the Abbey of Evisceration to bring peace among the nobels again.
Id is a friend of Sazir Rimtarfikod and holds a grudge against Vucar Likotseng

Vucar Likotseng - 68 years 14th Galena 982
Worshipper of Ertal Fortunegilt
Ardent worshipper of Kudust the Strifeful Idol
He is very fat. He has thick lips placed above a narrow chin. His high cheekbones surrounds his narrow nose with the somewhat concave nose bridge. His large-irised heliotrope eyes are very round. His very long russet hair is tied in a pony tail. His very long moustache and beard are neatly combed and his very long sideburns are braided.
Vucar has always been an ardent worshipper of Kudust, and been making weapons for the church.
In Galena 1050 it was discovered that he was the leader of a smuggling ring, selling weapons to the goblins, made from alloys that was produced by lowering the quality of the weapons for the church and using the remaining materials to forge the weapons for the goblins.
Vucar only avoided the battle against the Titan by his Master's plead to the king that he be exiled instead of the certain death.
Vucar holds a grudge against Id Eturnikot because he has been sentenced for the death of Vucar's Master's wife, though nothing has been proven.

Obok Degmelbil - 54 years 11th Limestone 996
Dubious worshipper of Kudust the Strfeful Idol
Worshipper Nesteth
She is incredibly muscular. Her very long russet hair is tied in a pony tail. Her heliotrope eyes with very large irises sits around her narrow slightly upturned nose. Her free-lobed ears are somewhat narrow
Obok has always been very fond of wood and the outdoors, giving her the unflattering nickname elf-puppy, this and her fellow dwarfs' obvious hatred towards her has made her nervous and lacking confidence, and combined with her lust for adventure and new experiences, she desided to join the Abbey of Evisceration rather than endure more ridicule at home.
Obok is a friend of Domas Dastotatham

Domas Dastotatham - 86 years 20th Sandstone 964
Casual worshipper of Ok the Oily Towers
Dubious worshipper of Id Minecanyon
He is avarage in size and very agile. His incredibly upturned nose sits between heliotrope eyes. His pink skin is wrinkled on his high cheekbones. his medium-length moustache and beard are neatly combed and his sideburns are clean-shaven. his very long russet hair is tied in a pony tail.
Domas is candid and sincere in dealing with others, and tries to live a well-organized life, and it was therefore a big shock for him when he was accused of selling rotten fruti at overprice, and try to cheat his customers.
Domas has a shortage of patience, and quickly exploded in rage at the accusations, and decapitated the girl accusing him, leading to his exile at the Abbey of Eviusceration
this has made him very self-conscious and slow to trust others
Domas is a friend of Obok Degmelbil

Iden Lanlaralath - 84 years 21th Granite 966
Casual worshipper of Nesteth
Worshipper of Kudust the Strifeful Idol
She is Muscular. Her very long crinkly hair is tied in a pony tail and russet with a touch of gray. Her round large-irised heliotrope eyes a very wide-set around her narrow nose. her pink skin is wrinkled.
Iden Has been in the King's court as a diplomat and a battle medic for many years, and she is fully aware of her appointment as the expedition leader and chief medical dwarf is a punishment, though she cannot figure out why, and though the King made it seem like a great honor with the ceremony.
Iden has been involved in politics for far to long to let her surprise or suspicion show, and to see that hardly any of the nobles were fooled to think this was actually an honor.
Iden expects she shall never see her homeland again, and praises herself lucky that she does not have a husband or kids she is leaving behind.

Now that we have met the cast, let us see what Iden has been writing in her log about the getting here.
If you want a specific part of the story you feel we haven't looked at enough, feel free to leave a note, and I am sure we can find at way to enlighten that part of history

Finally we have arrived, after a weeks searching in these dismal swamps we have finally found an area that seems to contain stable ground, though I must admit it's hard to find out when everything is frozen solid, and you have no tools.
Oh yeah, I have not related that, around a week ago a band of humans assulted out wagon to steal what we had of value, they stole the few tools the King as granted us access to.
Fortunately cat meat is frown upon among the humans, or I am sure tehy would have stolen all our food and drinks too, but as it turned out, they looked into 2 of the barrels, and saw nothing but catmeat, of which we have plenty, and didn't want to look in the rest. Had they done that we would surely have been without spirits to keep us content.
As it turned out, they took our weapons, tools and armor that we had been able to gather before heading out to this area, and left us only a few lumps of ore, and the logs we have saved for firewood.
However we are finally here, and I can't wait untill we are able to dig a proper cave, never have I felt more exposed and vulnerable as I do now, and who knows what might lurk in these swamps?
I have made a crude map, that shows the surrounding area, so we can plan better what to do.
First line of business will be to setup a few workshops, so we can get some tools made, so we can start working the area.
Vucar found an old rusty anvil 2 days walk east of here, it seemed to be an old forge on the side of the road, long since abandonned, but he thinks it will be sufficient untill such a time as we can get one of proper quality, at least to create some crude basic tools like azes and picks, though we will never be able to get the exceptional quality we are all used to working with at home untill we get a decent forge.
