Points of Interest

• Δ 21. Path from the highlands
  After finding the spot marked by the prospectors, a path was built up to the highlands and dug out of the cliff. These stone pillars (guarded by traps) mark the entrance to the beach fort and provide access to the trees and plants lifted up off the shore. Some simple farms have been built using seeds collected from the local flora. - Markavian
• Δ 21. Quarry Lookout

  ( 1051 Late Summer to onwards )
  This small lookout tower is built alongside the quarry wall, separating the stripmine from the beach. The wall was originally to prevent ocean waves from splashing water down into the excavations. The wall now serves two purposes; as a defensive barrier, and as a shortcut between the highlands. Marksdwarves can keep watch over this route and possibly cut off attackers making their way off the map. - Markavian

• Δ 19. Mason Workshops

  ( 1051 Late Summer to onwards )
  The mason worshops lie directly next to the quarry, provided stone blocks and rock items as necessary for the construction of the fort. At the moment the quarry is all but empty except for cursed microline stones that are waiting to be dumped into the ocean. Spare alunite, a whiteish material (not as crisp as marble or limestone) has been used to construct the masons workshop, a personalisation perhaps to please themselves. - Markavian

• Δ 19. Metalsmith Area

  ( 1051 Late Summer to onwards )
  The nominee mechanic/architect/woodcutter has also been drafted in as temporary metalsmith. Wood burning, smelting and weaponsmithing has all been peformed here in order to turn the hematite into iron weapons for the defense of this outpost. Iron battle axes and swords have sofar been constructed and installed in traps along the borders. - Markavian

• Δ 16. Empty Layer
  This layer was being used for beds during spring, but the proximity to the kitchens above was too close for comfort. Instead the bedrooms have been moved to better accomodation downstairs. This layer will likely be expanded and used for food storage. - Markavian
• Δ 15. Founders' Bedroom

  ( 1051 Late Summer to 1052 Late Winter )
  The bedroom layer has a series of loosely connected rooms to keep the dwarves dry and in the dark. Seven stones of realgar have been crafted into a full furniture set, waiting for one lucky dwarf to announce their love for the rare rock and claim the room for themselves. - Markavian

• Δ 15. Quarry

  ( 1051 Late Summer to onwards )
  The midsection of the quarry, dug out through several layers of sand, has provided the majority of the rock used throughout the fortress. Where possible stone is excavated and rebuilt into walls, but it soon ran out. The quarry has halted now at the bottom level since the discovery of microline, all of which has been marked for dumping into the sea. A decent sized seam of hematite has also provided the first weapons for the fort. - Markavian

• Δ 13. Gold!
  This be the bottom of the main fort at present, gold nuggets were found, the prospectors were spot on with their projections! Statues will be made to line the entrance in the near future. - Markavian
