New word!

Lye Maker:

1. One who manufactures lye.

2. In the mountainhomes, various nobles mandate the construction of massive castles made exclusively from soap bars. Naturally this endeavor requires a multitude of workers in sweat shop asheries constantly making lye for their masters. Some dwarfs spend their entire lives making lye, doing no other work. Some earn their freedom and migrate to other fortresses with no other useful skills and become mighty warriors (or meat shields).

If this ever becomes finished it should be turned into a real book you can buy with an awesome hardcover. It could also include boatmurdered and other famous dwarfy stories.

Aquifer - A damp earthen block which, because of the varying density of the containing layers, the movements of the earth, and the fluttering of butterfly wings, contains an infinite supply of constantly moving water. Has been the bane of many a miner and fortresses in search of stone. See water

Note to Dictionary author: type control-f and search for butterfly and you will find it


Water - A seemingly mundane liquid useful for a variety of purposes from dwarven healthcare to powering perpetual motion devices to highly elaborate drowning and freezing deathtraps.

Backpack
1. A backpack (also called rucksack, knapsack, packsack, pack) is, in its simplest form, a cloth sack carried on one's back and secured with two straps that go over the shoulders. 2. A dwarven device containing a collapsed universe and powered by !!QUANTUM PHYSICS!!, being able to contain a seemingly infinite amount of matter. A similar technology has been used in Cage Traps, trapping victims in a pocket world of its own. Due to its incredible mass, it is said that it can destroy and create dimensions by swinging them into an elf's crotch.

Ahh but what would the cover show?
