Actually, you have to wait to appoint the Dohvakiin until you have a justice system up and running and get your first prisoners. Then pick one of them, make him an adventurer and go hunt some dragons
In all Elder Scroll games, the player starts as a prisoner for various reasons.

Except Daggerfall.

Autumn and winter pass. The farm and the beehives are up and running, and the mead industry should kick into overdrive soon. More utterly useless migrants. I'm starting to worry about needing to train a militia in a hurry. Construction of the dining hall in the upper class section is underway. I haven't even thought about the bedrooms. That'll be a massive project. Ordered some more food and booze from the caravans. Got the smithy started, but it looks like I'll need to expand the workshop building.

And yeah, the Dovakin/kiin/khin/howeveritsspelled will have to be and ex-prisoner.

I have no idea what a nord is, but I'll keep an eye on this thread because it sounds funny and saying it makes me smile.

Posting for interest, this sounds like an awesome project.

On an Elder Scrolls note, I wonder if it would be possible to mod in Dwemer automatons that the player could have their dorfs build then use like trained animals

I just struck the caverns immediately below my stone quarry. Looks like the tomb's going in the cavern.

As I recall you can't. You can only make a reaction produce vermin or something like that. Perhaps later on.

Markarth always reminded me of Dwarf Fortress...

"Even the beds are made of stone!"

I wish we could do that

Mods.

Bah forget mods, I like to lose horribly have fun with a vanilla game.

FUS RO DAH!

Being dirt poor, I haven't had enough money to buy Skyrim. Being unable to play this amazing game, I went for the next best thing.

Enter the fortress of Anriztirist. It is in a cold biome surrounded by mountains. Here are the following restrictions I will be playing under:

The entire city will be above ground.
Trade caravans will be kept outside of the city walls, always.
There will be a separate space for nords dwarves born in the city and those born outside of the city.
The S7 and their relations will get a special pantheon in the center of the city.
All non-norddwarf members will sleep in darkened alleyways, recieve the worst food, and generally treated with less respect than the toilet paper used by the S7.
If a mayor makes a harsh mandate, there will be an uprising via tantrum spiral. Always.
If any dragons or other special monsters show up, it will be the task of a signal nord dwarf to defeat it. This nord dwarf will be treated with great respect, and given the title Dovakhin.
All nordic dwarven dead will be in an intricate tomb beneath the city. If a necromancer is available, it will be locked down their to ensure that all bodies are undead. Always.
All non-nordicdwarven dead will be dumped outside and left to rot.
The fortress will drink mostly mead. When honey production becomes stable, it will drink nothing but mead.

This thread will chronicle the story of this fortress.

Comments? Suggestions?

Have legendary heroes live atop a Nord-made mountain, and become the greybeard dwarfs.

Misread title as "Nerd Fortress".

You don't have 60 dollars to buy Skyrim? Or is it just that you can't justify buying it at this time.

It just strikes me as odd that someone with a computer, access to internet etc wouldn't have 60 dollars of spending money to their name.

i'd have to call you a fool, i own a computer and have internet and have yet to have a job and therefore have no spending money to my name at all! also i'd buy skyrim but my computer is as old as dirt, even if i could afford it i could never run it.

besides that the elder scrolls games have sadly been going downhill sense daggerfall (elder scrolls 2), loosing more skills and cool stuff along the way and getting graphic upgrades and invisible walls, personally i think daggerfall had the best char. gen out of all of em, morrowind had a nice map, not too big and not too small, and oblivion had the graphics and physics the other 2 were lacking, if they combined all 3 of those things into a single game it would be quite possibly one of the best games they have ever made.

[Loud Whispers]

1. not too big

2. oblivion had the graphics and physics the other 2 were lacking

3. if they combined all 3 of those things into a single game it would be quite possibly one of the best games they have ever made.

1. Does such a thing exist?
2. Physics like being able to jump 20ft in the air?
3. = Skyrim?

If eggs are an object in the raws (Not sure on that), you could make a reaction to take say, bronze bars, and produce an egg for a custom creature. They would need to have a single, non-female caste to avoid reproduction, and you could make their body out of bronze; unfortunately as far as I no there is no way to make them hatch instantly, like they were created.
EDIT: I don't think that eggs will hatch outside of Nest Boxes, so this probably won't work. 

[Teneb]

Eggs need to be fertilized.  Otherwise pretty much every mod would have some kind of golem for the player to make.
