A city built over an artificial lake. Seven unique towers corresponding to earth, wind, water, fire, life, death, and magic. A true megaproject!
Entrance to the Hearth is through a tunnel with a floor perpetually flowing with water. The cleansing properties of the water begin the Hearth's healing work on traders and new visitors. - Mzbundifund

How do traders get to the trade depot?

It looks like the traders walk across the brook. The brook doesn't count as a water tile until you channel it.

That's... Incredible. Kinda expected the towers to be, you know, higher. Like, you know. Towers.
But even as it is right now it is incredible.

What really stands out to me in this fortress is a contrast of symmetry between the main body of the fortress, and the asymmetrical design of the towers. Overall, very impressive, and I'd love to know which tileset that is, because mayday's just does not work for me.

This fortress is indeed very beautiful and I really think it deserves to be expanded. Make the towers higher, for example. A fortess is never complete! ;)
Oh, and to the people that asked what tileset this is, I believe that it's Dorten's smooth walls tileset, seen here: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/File:720x225_SmoothWalls.PNG

Yes that is the tileset. The towers will probably not get much higher, as many of the materials are not local, and importing the kimberlite and cobaltite needed for the tower of water, or the rose gold/black bronze materials for the tower of magic will take about 7 years just to add a single extra level to each. I don't like altering reactions to cheat up free materials. If I think of something new to add to this fort I might change it, but for now it's on to new prospects.
