Points of Interest

• Δ 58. Mayor's Quarters
  Several levels above the ground and part of a tower complex still in construction, with matching gem windows. - orrey
• Δ 54. The Siegebreaker

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Primary line of defense for the fortress. It's a series of watchtowers, followed by cage traps, followed by dodge traps, followed by a ballista, more cage traps, weapon traps, multistory barrack filled with angry, steel-clad dwarves, a drawbridge, then more cage traps. Magma will be added in to the equation eventually. - orrey

• ¶ 54. Wagon

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  The embark wagon, which came to a stop here in 252. Resting in an obsidian chamber with a platinum block floor, to be admired by the descendants of the original seven. (The fortress was played with a population cap of 0, so all 70 living dwarves originate from the original embark and two free waves). - orrey

• Δ 53. Aqueduct

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  A section of the river that was drained, channeled out, then rebuilt out of limestone and obsidian to facilitate building around it. - orrey

• Δ 52. Farming Terraces

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Farming for Woodbook consists of a series of a large number of small plots, which all produce different crops. The bottom left corner is built below an overhang, so aboveground and underground plants can be grown in relative proximity. - orrey

• Δ 52. The Waterworks

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Water flows in from the river here, and is guided down through the fortress, powering mist generators, filling the cistern, and enabling the water reactors. The soil level it was dug in is slowly being replaced by obsidian block walls. - orrey

• Δ 51. Kitchens
  Area devoted to food production. The stockpiles extend for several more z-levels. Food production consists of processing various sorts of plants into sugars, syrup, and flour; there was a hippo meat industry in place earlier in the fortress's life, but FPS issues have caused me to abandon that. - orrey
• Δ 51. Slaughterhouse

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Mostly just used for egg collection now. Refuse and Atom Smashers are located on the levels below it, designed so miasma can't spread into the stairwells. - orrey

• Δ 49. Founder's Tomb

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  A relatively simple monument located on the first floor of the fortress to be excavated, containing tombs for the founding seven. So far, only one has died; but the remaining six are in their twilight years, with the oldest being 141. - orrey

• Δ 48. Arena
  A recent addition; mostly just a training area for young recruits. The only way in is to be thrown in, or entering from the barracks at the entrance of the fortress. Statue gardens on the level above it give the idle dwarf some entertainment during their parties. - orrey
• Δ 48. Prison
  Still very much under construction. Eventually, it will be a hanging structure over a magma reservoir able to be collapsed into said magma at will. - orrey
• Δ 48. The Tenements

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Each dwarf has an identically furnished bedroom, as well as personal dining room on the level above it. As population grows, they are expanded vertically to accommodate the new children; currently spanning z-levels on each side of the fortress. - orrey

• Δ 45. Duchess' Chambers

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Living Quarters, Tomb, Dining, and Office for the Duchess and her Consort. Some of the decorations include an artifact platinum bed, artifact amethyst tomb, and pure amethyst gem windows. Extravagant, but largely deserved, as she has had 29 children so far; nearly half the population of the fortress is part of her immediate family.
  
  Also on this level are stockpiles for rare and precious materials, including clear diamonds, ivory crafts, steel armor, and glass. - orrey

• Δ 45. Public Dining

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  As each dwarf has individual dining arrangements, a grand dining hall was never constructed; rather a few smaller rooms for socializing and gathering were established in various places throughout the fort. - orrey

• Δ 41. Grand Cistern

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  The most time consuming project in the fortress, spanning about 20 years of work. It is a clear glass cistern, spanning 8 z-levels, in the center of a fully engraved hollow chamber. The biggest obstacle to its construction was not its design, but rather the fact that my map had no sand.

• Δ 33. Temple Complex

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Area dedicated to the worship of minor dwarven deities. Still partially complete, as the masons have only been able to churn out statues of 5 of the 7 gods worshiped by the civilization. When they do, each room will be properly furnished and made into a meeting area. - orrey

• Δ 33. The Vault

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Room which stores the artifacts of the fortress. In the event the fortress falls, it can be sealed away by two artifact floodgates. Eventually, I intend to seal a dwarf inside who will have a self-sustaining living complex, as well as access to the only lever which opens it. - orrey

• Δ 33. Throne Room

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Area which will one day become the Seat of the King It's empty right now; for good reason - the royal line of the Creative Tours, my civilization, is long dead. It has a three level high, level, fully engraved ceiling, with room for living and dining above it. - orrey

• Δ 32. Catacombs

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Resting place for the average citizen. - orrey

• Δ 31. Royal Tomb

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  - orrey

• Δ 27. Obsidian Farms
  Creates most of the stone for aboveground construction. It's several levels high, and a full run can produced up to 1453 blocks. Water is drained off the map in various places, so the pumps stay inactive most of the time, a great boon to fps. - orrey
• Δ 19. Armok's Breath

  ( 312 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Still early in the planning stages, a massive monument to the Blood God resting on the magma sea. The intention is to channel out this layer of stone almost entirely, and have a series of shrines, sacrificial pits, and magma forges connected by obsidian bridges. - orrey
