Weatherwires - Upper Fort - 184 Early Spring by fidelcowstro

Map Description:

In the early spring of 126, the Diamond Cloisters of the Merchant of Echoing founded Weatherwires, the first dwarven settlement to be inhabited since the beginning of time. The last queen of the Merchant of Echoing was struck down by an ettin in 18, and no leader rose to replace her. For more than a century, the dwarves had remained hidden in the mountains, until seven survivors emerged from the peaks and came to the Fire of Channels, a great volcano, and founded this fortress.

Now, the year is 184, and the dwarves' numbers have dwindled to 94. They have almost entirely retreated to a series of caverns dug out deep beneath the surface, but during Weatherwires' first few decades, it was here, in the caldera of the Fire of Channels, where they crafted the first fortress.

Point of Interest: The Royal Throne Room

In the late 130's, following a disastrous tantrum spiral that resulted in the death of the duke, the remaining dwarves sought to fulfill the monarch's requirements and become a mountainhome. When the declaration was made, and Weatherwires became the capitol, however, no monarch arrived - as it turned out, the last queen had been slain in the year 18, and no replacement had been appointed. These rooms, intended to house the monarch and their entourage, were never inhabited. - fidelcowstro
