From the Journal of Oddom "DivineCoffeeBinge" Mersethzulban, Chef, Jeweler, Fortress Founder What the hell have I done with my life? To this day I'm not sure why we started following Lokum lelumigoth. Somehow she just seemed like the person to listen to, you know? After we got separated from the original group of settlers she was the one who started giving orders, and we all just sort of listened. I regret this immensely, given that her orders led us to a cursed volcano where nothing ever stays dead and loving zombie budgies are a constant threat. Zombie animals would be bad enough, but zombie animal parts are even worse. People are getting attacked by wool. Wool! Blessed Atir help us, can you imagine what it would be like to get killed by loving wool? I can just see the engravings now. "The wall is adorned with an exquisite carving of a dwarf. The dwarf is being attacked by wool. This is a reference to the death of Lokum Hooplehead in the year 567." There'll probably be some loving cheese and elephants, too. That kid Biosterous is going to start learning engraving, right? I should drop him a note. Oh Gods above help us if elephants show up. Anyways, I'm keeping busy, carving jewelry while I wait to get proper brewing supplies and ingredients. I made a really nice ring the other day; which promptly got traded away for metal. Yeah, Atir forbid I get to enjoy the fruits of my labors. Guarantee you before long we'll be up to our asses in smiths being all "Look at this sweet metal poo poo I made" and "gently caress you stay out of my magma forge I'm gonna make a masterwork puzzle box or something equally useless from the perspective of keeping us from getting killed by zombie squirrels" and do you think I'll get any loving credit? My entire rear end I will, they'll all just come up to me and beg for more beer so they can drink to forget the horrors of the place they've chosen to settle down in. That's if we don't all die from more "accidental" magma channels being built all over the place, Armok save us. I'm gonna go drink more and pray to as many Gods as I can remember that this place doesn't reanimate mushrooms too; if I have to fight my own loving ingredients I am going to lose my mind. "You should join our settlement group, make your fortune, maybe start a family," they said. Why the hell did I listen? I'm such a bloody hooplehead. Need more beer.

If I had a list of sentences I would never have used to describe myself, "married to Hitler's Gay Secret" would definitely have been on it. I'm little worried about how being susceptible to disease is going to go in this place.

Well that's why we have amputations. Actually I don't think that's something DF has although it's been a bit since I last played. Maybe I've just been spoiled by Rimworld's medicine system.

cant cook creole bream posted:Hey. I'm useful Vesh Puzzlinglanced the Jackal of Gorging is a deity that occurs in the myths of The Banded Diamonds (our civilization), most often depicted as a female dwarf and associated with the realm of nightmares. Notable worshipers of Vesh include the dwarf rulers Atis Giftedwheel and Vabok Bellbite. Atis Giftedwheel was a female dwarf who was one of the first of her kind.  Vabok Bellbite was a male dwarf born in 23 to unknown parents. In the early spring of 78, he became the king of The Banded Diamonds.  His wife, Tun Tomeplanks, was also a worshiper of Vesh.  Not to be alarmist, but there seems to be a clear pattern here between worshiping Vesh and being eaten by monstrous creatures.

Yeah well maybe don't propitiate the Goddess of Nightmares if you don't want to be eaten by horrible nightmares brought to life. It's not that complicated, people.

We live on borrowed time, bestowed by Her Grace. My body is ready to be consumed by the children of Vesh, for we all must return to the realm of nightmares from whence we came.

I kinda have to agree here. Who in their right mind would worship the the goddess of the Realm of Nightmares?

Oh man, we have a death cult that worships the God of Nightmares and gets eaten horrible monsters. What if these guys are trying to get consumed by nightmares? What if these terrible beasties are seen as avatars of the God of Nightmares?

The Triumph of the Wise Path and the Fortress Valleysilences Year 1: The Solemn Destiny of Dwarves a musical offering penned by Onget "A Bad Place" Roomsquirted, a humble bard We're scattered. I saw the fisherdwarves get splattered. Creatures of the Night are getting fatter on platter after platter. It's a disaster. Now we can't find the caravan master. Or anyone else for that matter. We're lost. We're alone. A thousand miles from home. East, west, which way? No, we're back at the volcano. Can't go back the way we came, though, like moths drawn to a flame; so we'll have to stake our claim. (Acclaimed, insane levels of fame. Magma in our veins, gems falling like rain. Can't count how many elves I've slain, they don't know my name, they just feel the pain. That's why my tomb's engraved, and yours is plain.) Home is where the heart is. But this is the heart of darkness. Gotta bust them twice: give them last rites, then another bite when they rise, then I tan their hide. We take pride in our zombicide. Axedwarf opens wide, better get inside. Please keep your arms and legs in the minecart at all times because In Valleysilences every day the violence is all around us. We don't carry licences for our dental ordnance: no swords just incisors to your gourd, 'cause we're all about the culinary sciences. Undead don't frighten us.

Momuz Steppemirrors is the current king of The Banded Diamonds.  He is an ardent worshiper of Geshud, a deity that occurs in the myths of The Banded Diamonds. Geshud is most often depicted as a male dwarf and is associated with murder, death, war, and fortresses.  And what is this "Guardshot" that was created by Geshud in 100? Well, this fellow held onto it for 7 years before placing it in a place called Basesmined.  And where is that lovely place?  Why, due west of a place called The Volcano of Torments.

A long time ago, I made the mistake on embarking in a haunted area with a river. I lost so many dwarves to the skeletal carp that dwell beneath.
