Weatherwires - Lower Fort - 184 Early Spring by fidelcowstro

Map Description:

In the year 135, work began on a massive excavation project, between the surface and the top cavern layer. Now, nearly half a century later, work on the dome - a hemispherical area housing a dwarven city, hewn from raw stone - is nearing completion.

However, due to a terrible blight of unknown origin, no new dwarves have been born into the fortress for nearly twenty years. No new immigrants or caravans have arrived at the fort for some time, so the dwarves of Weatherwires have come to realize that they are, indeed, the last remnant of the Merchant of Echoing.

Point of Interest: Passage to Dome Floor

One of the only ways to reach the cavern. One must pass through the barracks to use this route, which is constantly guarded by legendary military dwarves.

Use the "front" and "side" views to get a good idea of what the passage looks like. - fidelcowstro

Cool stuff!
Have you ever rendered this in a visualizer?
I'd love to see the dome from beneath!

I have. It looks fantastic in Overseer. You can't see more than a small portion in Stonesense, but it does give a good idea of scale, in any case. There's a thread on the forum (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=93279.120) with some screenshots in it.
