Points of Interest

• Δ 21. Goblins
  Used to be here. 6 axedwarves showed up. There was blood, there were tiny little ²'s flying everywhere, and then silence.
  
  Goblins: The fourth iron ore. - Noble Digger
• ¶ 19. Main Gate
  99% of traffic into and out of the fortress is through this heavily-trapped gate.
  
  The multi-colored mosaic below here was designed to use up blocks I didn't really want to use for anything else, and the color distribution came out half-decent so I decided to keep it. - Noble Digger
• Δ 19. Manager's Office
  "Lion" Besmarbal comes here to break out the whip when it's time to enforce the completion of my repeated orders for 450 rock blocks, glass blocks, sand bags, or what have you.
  
  Gatereign has over 15000 rock blocks laid down to date. - Noble Digger
• Δ 19. Military Dining Hall
  The dwarves--particularly the guards--seem quite happy to hang out down here now that it's all furnished and lookin' fresh. - Noble Digger
• Δ 19. Stockmaster's Office
  Owned by "Slacker" Ningcilob since the 2nd year of the fortress, who was tragically forgotten in the high hills above the fortress after a construction job left him trapped.
  
  "Shitsley" Vuthilbim has graciously taken over the duty of Stockmaster, because he thinks this will better his chances of having the dead baby removed from the walls behind his rom.
  
  But it won't! :D - Noble Digger
• Δ 19. Trade Depot and Export Storage
  Though it pains me that our lovely courtyard is strewn with worthless crap, the fact is that this crap isn't worthless and it needs to be close to the trade depot so we can export it when the time is right.
  
  Sadly, 90% of that stuff in the left stockpile is iron armor and the traders simply can't carry it all away. I guess it's going to be quite a few years before we send it all off. - Noble Digger
• Δ 18. Grand Cross South Dining Hall
  The honored dead securely interred in the walls and a nice complement of wooden and obsidian furniture laid down, Grand Cross South was opened for business.
  
  The previous four grand cross dining halls were also shut down as their furnishings were needed to service this hall and its sister to the north, which is awaiting the finishing touches on burial alcoves before it is opened. - Noble Digger
• Δ 18. Pearlash Works
  Completely self-contained magma workshop designed to produce pearlash. It has its own magma inlet and a drainage area large enough to evaporate all of the stored magma. - Noble Digger
• Δ 17. The Hot Tubes
  These twin magma tubes wrap around the food stockpiles and are designed to keep the food warm, dry, and safe from vermin. They are completely paved with basalt and green glass all around.
  
  The one unfinished spot in the east will be used to house workings for a magma fountain. This area is not currently designed to be drained but draining it can be accomplished via pumps or a spillway if necessary. I haven't yet decided the best way to fill it, as it's intended to be filled through the Crucible, which doesn't have access to a whole lot of magma since it's only 1 or 2 levels down from the surface of the magma pipe.
  
  I also don't want to let my fire imps out. - Noble Digger
• Δ 16. Northern Wagon Road
  Designed to provide wagon access to the trade depot, this long, steep path snakes up into the mountains before heading south and ramping down into my main courtyard. A number of traps and dogs guard the path, and several dwarves died of hunger and thirst constructing portions of the pathway in the remote, seldom-glanced upon hills. - Noble Digger
• Δ 16. The Duke Made Me Angry
  "Pimpy" The Duke and his annoying wife, "Whiny" The Bitch, have sentenced 6 dwarves to fatal hammerings over their supposed failure to meet their unrealistic production mandates (what the fuck does "item in dining room" mean, anyway?) and since about 5% of maps are likely to have even a single rock crystal, nobles asking for anything crystal glass is like the game engine saying "Ha ha, we're going to kill one of your dwarves."
  
  Justice shall be done! I placed 3 caged goblins in the duke's room and 2 in the duchess' room, linked to a lever. Unfortunately I had already taken their equipment and thus they just got strangled to death by the statted-out nobles. Fortunately, the duke is hungry and dehydrated and the duchess is hiding in her personal tomb because one of her goblins is still out there...somewhere. See if you can spot him :) - Noble Digger
• Δ 16. The Ring of Fire
  This lovely detailed segment of the magma pipe is currently being engineered into a magma feed for the long, winding tube to the south. This tube will shunt magma all the way across the fortress to the east where I am erecting glass furnaces closer to our only sources of sand in the southeast.
  
  I haven't yet decided if I should flood this level with magma or simply wall off the sides of this floodgate so the magma flows directly south. - Noble Digger
• Δ 15. Eastern Lake Pumping Station
  I turned these two lovely little sunken glades into dwarf-made lakes. Each has a rock block spire topped with 5 statues and a window or two looking out into dryer areas.
  
  The lakes are filled via pumps from the river and can be drained out to the northern wilderness (which is happening right now) also via pumps.
  
  - Noble Digger
• Δ 15. The Boneyard
  Bones, shells, and skulls are kept here. I didn't think I could fill it up, but this fortress has seen a lot of puppies come and 'go'.
  
  This room also houses Craftsdwarves' shops. - Noble Digger
• Δ 5. Road of White Shadow
  This massive alunite road classifies as a MegaProject(tm). Despite its simplicity, it will circle the entire map with 7x10 alunite roads. When it is finished, I will wall it off, clean out the stone, and flood it. - Noble Digger
