• ¶ 31. Refuge of the Elf King
  This seat of Romimi Elayeomo, Elf king of the Blockade of Fealties, a dwarven civilization, sits upon a fully engraved obsidian tower situated on an island on the edge of the sea, prepared for his protection by dwarves who for one hundred years have revered him as a father.
  
  How this elf became the king of dwarves is a story of tragedy and forgiveness. Generations of war between the dwarves of the Blockade of Fealties, and the elves of the Hollow Grotto, and elves of the Hairy Spring had reduced the once great dwarven civilization to a handful of survivors living in the woods.
  
  Late in the war, Romimi was captured by a small party of dwarves while collecting wood for his crafts. During his captivity, Romimi soon observed the dwarves loudly complaining of hunger and squabbling over petty concerns. He then learned that not a single one of his captors was over 12 years of age. The dwarves of the Blockade of Fealties were the Elves most hated enemy, but these were merely children badly in need of adult guidance.
  
  Romimi took pity on these children and found it easy to gain their trust. They responded quickly to his leadership, and over the course of time he taught them respect for themselves and for others. Though an elf, he told them all he knew about their former culture and raised them as best as he could as dwarves.
  
  The other elves of the Hollow Grotto not only tolerated these new arrivals, but applauded Romimi for his compassion and eventually rewarded Romimi by elevating him to the kingship. To the dwarves naturally, he was recognized as their leader from nearly the moment they met him.
  
  The elves of the Hairy Spring reacted very differently to these developments. They were furious that this chance to seal the destruction of their enemy had been squandered. They remained outwardly peaceful to their elven brothers, but fell upon any of their dwarven friends that they happened to catch in the wild.
  
  As time went by and the dwarves grew up and had children of their own, it became time to set out and find a new home. They set up this fortress of Snarlingtool to renew their lost civilization and honor their king. Though this location was far away from their original homeland, the elves of the Hairy Spring learned of this new home and resolved to destroy it once and for all. They attack every spring, but so far the dwarves have held out, causing dreadful casualties among the elves the like of which hadn’t been seen in ages. In this way the elves of the Hairy Spring are steadily consumed by their hatred.

• Δ 31. The throne itself
  The kings throne is a masterful rose gold throne created by Likot Tarenathel. It is studded with masterfully worked silver by Sarvish Soseddegel. This object menaces with spikes of masterfully worked gold by Sarvish Soseddegel.
  
  In front of the throne, waiting for the king's eventual arrival, is placed 'Riseraven, the Kisses of Influence', a golden scepter. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is studded with gold, decorated with turtle bone and encircled with bands of rutile. This object menaces with spikes of obsidian, turtle bone and pig tail. On the item is the Image of a Birch in Gold. On the item is an image of dwarves in gold. The dwarves are laboring. The artwork relates to the foundation of Snarlingtool by the Blockade of Tangles of the Blockade of Fealties in the early spring of 223. On the item is an image of Iden Boltedold the dwarf in dog bone. Iden Boltedold is travelling. The artwork relates to the flight of the dwarf Iden Boltedold (from Walledwar) to the Weak Water in 222. On the item is an image of lizards in carp leather. - cephalo
• Δ 29. The king's bedroom
  It's not easy for a dwarf to guess what kind of bedroom an elf would like to live in, but hopefully this will please the king. Hopefully elves have a sense of humor at least... - cephalo
• Δ 27. The baron's waiting room.
  This pool and waterfall greet visitors to the baron's adjoining office. Furniture has not yet been moved in as the baron only recently arrived. However, just upstairs you can see the baron's new golden dining room set. - cephalo
• Δ 26. The freshwater well
  This well gives access to a specially prepared de-salinized holding tank. - cephalo
• Δ 21. The island
  From this view you can see the shape of the Snarlingtool island in the sea. - cephalo
• Δ 21. The main hall
  The main dining hall is lined with statues and has two fountain waterfalls to comfort the dwarves. - cephalo
• Δ 20. Old construction yard
  Pouring an obsidian cast this large was no easy task. Massive structures needed to be built to transport the tons of magma and water to the sky. So, for decades, the dwarves had to live within this green glass fortification, and under the surface in the soil. The main product of this yard were hundreds of thousands of glass blocks used to build the pumping towers. - cephalo
• Δ 13. Forges and incinerator
  Snarlingtool is the place where the Blockade of Fealties will soon rebuild it's weapon industry and raise an army of dwarves. To the lower right is a large crucible for burning trash. - cephalo
• Δ 11. Catacombs
  Delved into the rocks on the coast is a large area for the dwarves to bury the dead. Hopefully it is large enough for many ages.
  
  This is the second attempt at delving a burial ground. The first one was flooded by an unknown aquifer and subsequently walled off. - cephalo
