• Δ 18. The Tower of Sacrifice

  ( 204 Early Summer to onwards )
  At the top the tower, animals and sentients are dissected by the high priests, two level down another high priest processes the tortured flesh into bloodstones and soulstones for use in the dark dwarven magics.
  
  Once the tower is finished one find a masterful statue of Agesh, the god war and fortresses, at the very top. - Rubberduck

• ¶ 15. Burnination and Death
  Things were going fine for the Black Towers. Sure, a few elven thieves had tried to sneak in, but they usually got killed by an onslaught of beak dogs, war trolls and elven slaves.
  
  This time however..
  
  I somehow missed the appearance of the elven raiding party, probably because they appeared at exactly the same time as a caravan. While my attention was elsewhere, they made quite a mess on the bridge between the trading depot, and the main tower. Still, no immediate casualties. Most of the blood might actually be from a dead raider.
  
  One raider fled towards the west wall. A hell hound followed and breathed fire at it. The elf died, but the grass caught on fire. This spread east, burninating many dark dwarves rushing in to grab the goods inside the fire. And then the trade depot caught on fire. Including the human caravan and my expedition leader, mayor and trader (all gathered in the auspicious person of Ablel Ducimtherleth.
  
  I'm thinking about slaughtering all hell hounds in the future. Flaming elves are fun, but this is a little too much of a fun thing. - Rubberduck
• Δ 15. Start of an easy megaproject
  The plan is to lower the entire plain by one level, then fill the void with magma, and then pump water onto the magma. A dark dwarven fortress just doesn't feel like unless it lies in the middle of a plain of pure obsidian :) - Rubberduck
• Δ 11. Obsidian Production Facility

  ( 204 Early Summer to onwards )
  Here is the facility that produces obsidian for the building of the main tower. A miner channels out the obsidian plug to the north, and then pulls the lever that opens hatches two levels above to let water fall down.
  
  I'll probably make a new facility some time, since this system requires manual opening and closing, with the associated risk of flooding. - Rubberduck
