Authors note: I rigged all of the species to fail. I set the max civ population to 250 and the world gen length to 10000 years, so that everything would be thoroughly dead. Also, I am playing the genesis mod. Also, in case you haven't figured it out, his idiot scribe is the game. I was a little annoyed when legends mode decided it wanted to tell me about every freaking cow that was eaten in the region.
It has been several thousand years since civilization has touched this world. To be exact, the research I have done states that the dwarves shaped this world last 9900 years
ago. The humans appear to die out at around the same time (actually, some ten years later), but the records are more complicated; my idiot scribe transcribed all of the eating
of the feral animals (he insisted they were tamed by some "Holy Group." I threw the page back at him and told him that if an animal was eaten there last year, it was feral,
as it had not seen a human in over nine mellinia.)
The elves lasted longer, up until approximately 9,300 years ago, but they, too, died away.
The empires of evil, the goblins, demons, and illithid mosly died before the dwarves, excepting one demon fortress that lasted until 9750 years ago.
I was lucky; I was born into a food-rich tribe. I wandered, and traded, and even did some mining, until I had the resources neccesary to begin my ultimate goal.
I would bring civilization back to the world.
Not the strange 'civilizations' we now had, ethnic groups without homes who named warlords in exile. No.
I would build a fortress. I would make of myself a kingdom.
I would embark under one of the false civilizations.
The king would come.
I would have him put on trial for his treasons.
I would be judge, jury, and executioner. He had let us remain nomads, to afraid to bring back civilizations, like his predessesors had.
I would have those loyal to me surround him in walls, and let him starve.
I would name myself king.
For the dwarves needed a great king. And I would be a great king.
I would bring wealth back to the world.
I would unite the dwarves.
I would end this 'age of balor and hill titan.'
It would be the Dwarven Age when I was done, if I had my way.
Next post: Setting out.
Edit: Since nobody has replied yet, here is what would have been the next post:
Setting out:
Our new home has no shallow metals, but it does have a volcano and deep metals. We'll just have to dig down a ways. More importantly, we have salt water. Obviously, this is a serious problem. We have clay, good, but as I said early, salt water. Bad.
We will, I suppose, have to capture a peice of the caverns, and the water that comes with that area, if we are to survive. We could, theoretically, live off booze alone, but we will need water when dealing with the wounded.
Either way, I have begun setting out.
We have named our group Logonurol, or Wandercloses, as in bringing a closure to the wandering.
Our fortress name shall be Bomziril. Homefires. I trust that's obvious enough.
My name is Tun Amkolfath. I will be the record keeper, woodcutter, and broker of this forterss. I know a little of each. I am a Jade Dwarf. The dwarves I take with me are hardly compentent at anything. I wish I could have better, but sadly, this is not to be. I do not have the enormous resources to make them competent; the goods for embarking stretched me thin.
I bring with me a male and a female mastiff. I also bring with me one male and female guneifowl.
I have embarked near the volcano. I hope that I can bring good back to this world.
A/N: I succeeded at making Tun the leader... By giving him two points in liar, obviously.
