When you pass through the Pillar, please stop and pay respects to those who made it possible for you to take shelter here. Our first administrator is sealed in the walls to the south-east, though his loss was years ago and he isn't too dearly missed...
For your own safety from our grieving people, ensure you visit the tomb to the south-west: It is the familial tomb of Founders Abel and Dastot, and their two sons.
Ablel was slain by Oltarenor, a massive cave bird, while gathering wood for his carpentry shop, and his loss has his (very powerful) wife in great distress, not to mention the rest of our 42 dwarves. The other tombs you see in the walls to the north are the familial tombs of the other founding families, the rest on the level below. Should these families die out completely, the tombs will be sealed and the bridges removed, to protect them from looters long after this place is empty.
The coffin in the Pillar itself belongs to Kol Feedseals, the expert Marksdwarf who ensured that no orc siege left unpunished while our other warriors were unable to. That woman could kill steal-clad orcs with fishbones, such was here skill with a crossbow. She died when our troops marched out to avenge the death of Ablel. Though she slew a swallowman with a single shot, Oltarenor swooped down from the sky and tore out her throat before she could reload or her compainons could help her... Our 6 wrestlers, in their rage, snapped it's wing and threw it off the mountainside, where it smashed against the rocks below.
Founder Minkot decided to put the tombs of warriors in the Pillar, something about them "holding up the fort just as much, if not more, then the Pillar does every day." In all honestly, we hadn't thought about it before hand, and it was the easiest spot to prepare quickly. -
