Points of Interest

• Δ 58. Extra 1: A silver flag
  A flag of silver supported by green glass, on top of a tower made of various stones. It can be seen from all over the map, or so I like to think. - Aldaris
• Δ 52. 1 The entrance

  ( 267 Early Winter to 1000 )
  (I'm going to do the POIs as if talking to a traveller.)
  Welcome, stranger, to this bastion of dwarfkind on this mountaintop of sand on these plains of water, The moat you see is filled with molten rock, pumped up from the pipe we found inside the bedrock. The walls are rough layer of various stones plated with bronze, and we have a basic port sticking out into the sea, although no ships have been made to use them yet. The many windmills here are used to kickstart our perpetual powerplants.
  The statues sticking out of the molten rock are silver sitting on pillars of fire-proofed sand, and the roads you walked on are of rough basalt being replaced with blocks.

• Δ 51. 11: The surface waterworks.
  Here we have the waterwheel and the pump keeping all the water moving along neatly, for some reason the freshwater tank can swallow up infinite amounts of water, although it has become salt now, it keeps the water flowing. You may want to look atht eh mess of channels one level below this. - Aldaris
• Δ 50. 12: The magma pipe, and the end of many tours.
  Here is the pipes surface, it has long been empty of dangers. we covered it with a grid of green glass walkways supporting the final destination of many a dwarf. We thought it was a fitting end to our tour, and we hope that the stories you return to the mountains of old are of achievement and positive things. We bid you farewell, and we hope that your future travels are safe and fruitfull. - Aldaris
• Δ 50. 2 The Trade Depot
  Here we receive our traders, no foreigner other than diplomats have ever penetrated deeper into the island than this. It's not much too look at, bu we focus our efforts on deeper regions. - Aldaris
• Δ 49. 3: Industry
  This is the central store room, above, below and around it are first the stone, glass, metal, wood, and siege industries, with their respective raw material stockpiles behind them as seen from here. The finished goods go into the iregularly shaped stockpile to the west. Farming is to the north, and the mud to the west in the hallway is from an accident involving ocean waves and an access stariway. - Aldaris
• Δ 48. 4: Forges and an attempt at draining the ocean
  Here are the magma powered forges, to the east, behind the heat blasted soil of the walls, is an attempt at draining a part of the ocean into an aquifier, the attempt failed. To the north is one of the earliest wet-mines, exploiting veins of ore visible through the waters, we are building a system of emergency blast doors should a flooding accident happen. - Aldaris
• Δ 47. 5: The bedrock, the dining room, the levers, the homes.
  Here we have the true nature of this pinnacle of the sea, the bedrock! South is the lever chamber and the magma tunnel, north are the dining room and the administrator and expenive civilian housing. The housing stretches downward and becomes cheaper the deeper. - Aldaris
• Δ 46. 6: Perpetual motion and prison
  Here we have the perpetual motion plant, the water flowing through is provided by a seperate setup to prevent jamming of the system.We have the prison to the north, and the various forge stockpiles behind the southern walls. The west houses the barracks basement, with the beginning of a strategic map of the region laid out of the floor in various colours of rock. - Aldaris
• Δ 45. 7: H2O-smasher
  Bad pun, we know, a hole will be punctured into the sea bed from here, then we seal off the room, and continously raise and lower these bridges, constantly destroying the water, hopefully enough to build green glass biodomes on the seabed. - Aldaris
• Δ 45. Extra 2: The wet mines
  The name is explained in the main tour. this is the main tunnel, the drawbridges raise fortways when a lever is pulled, they can be lowered by the levers next to them, all the way to the flooded section, which can then be walled off. - Aldaris
• Δ 42. 10: Magma pipe, deep.
  We will later visit the pipe's surface, but here you can look into the searing fluid by a window placed into the pipe feeding the cavern ponds, some find it impressive, others boring, and some terryfying that a thin sheet of green glass is all between them and the liquid fire, I find it quite calming to look at the strange currents by myself. - Aldaris
• Δ 41. 8: Cavern and dungeon master's housing
  This is the cavern any nostaligic dwarves visit to think back to the mountains of rock above the plains of sand and soils. Because we lack a cave river this close to the sea, we use magma ponds instead. The dungeon master has his quarters in the northwest, with a tunnel to his tomb that will be sealed of after his demise. He also has a lounge a floor below here with green glass walls and windows looking out at a magma channel. - Aldaris
• Δ 40. 9: The mines, and the end of our decent.
  Here the stairway of teh fort ends, and downwards go only the tunnel of the dungeon master's tomb and the mining shaft, the latter goes down to level -52, at which point even that stops. After this we will go back to visit some other notable near surface features, but let me not forget to explain the natures of these narrow tunnels, they have the function of finding ore veins, and digging out stone to build with, and to mark the bottom of the fort itself. Tehy extend pretty far, but I don't have much else to say about them, so we might best finish our tour. Follow me. - Aldaris
