Moruloddom - 1053 by Seymor

Map Description:

Year: 1053

It is now the summer of our third year at Moruloddom. We have made much progress in out efforts at this fort, and there is much progress yet to be made.

After our initial band of 7 dwarves consisting of two miners, a carpenter, a mason, two growers, and an armorsmith arrived at this fort, we spent the year carving out and exploring the fort as best as we can. Little did we expect that the threat didn't come from what was behind the walls, but rather, what was outside them.

During the summer of our second year, some elephants, angered by one of our war dogs, charged into the fort and into our recently mined out tree room. The death toll of this incident amounted to two dwarves, a war dog, and a cow. After going into the tree room, the doors were quickly locked and a council was assembled to determine how to deal with the situation. It was determined that the best way to deal with the situation was to finish the half complete floodgates and flood the elephants out. The mechanic who later became known as 'Legs' Amlogem, was able to finish the flood gate system and flood out the elephants but not before losing both of his legs to the beasts. He continued to pass out repeatably until his death in the fall.

This was not the only encounter with the beasts, there were many others and many others died to build the defenses needed to hold them at bay.

This is the story of Moruloddom.
