Points of Interest

• Δ 16. Barrow of the Dungeon Master
  The Barrow of the Dungeon Master. He wanted a tomb, so he got one, the git. My next fort is going to be similar to this one, I think, only with hills around it to carve barrows in, as well as sand. Well, that's the ideal spot. - Antipov
• Δ 16. The Fortifications, and aboveground floor 2
  The plan for the fortifications is almost done, but not entirely. The three story corner towers need their tops finished. I keep forgetting.
  
  The main building will only be 2 stories, but the four corners, where you might be able to see the stairways, will be very tall, completely useless, towers.
  
  We'll probably push things off them.
  
  So it goes. - Antipov
• Δ 15. Meeting Hall/Party Zone/Dining Room
  Well, here's where the dwarves spend most of their time, doing nothing because I'm terribly inefficient.
  
  So it goes.
  
  Oh, and of course, there's coffins in the corners. We've had more than a bit of death. And we need more. - Antipov
• Δ 15. Outdoor Fields
  We have some seeds for outdoor plants, I thought, so why not use them? So, we do. I also really like my court yard set up: it makes the "GET INSIDE" order useful: They actually do get out of the way, and my soldiers can man the ramparts - Antipov
• Δ 15. The Wagon Pass
  Here is the entrance to the fort, guarded by traps and a drawbridge. This will, eventually, be expanded. I am not entirely sure in what way, though. - Antipov
• Δ 14. Industrial Floor

  ( 1057 Mid Spring to onwards )
  Besides the mayor's quarters, this is really just the base of the fortress's industry and agriculture. You can see my steadily growing menagerie: I've got a number of foxes, some wolves, a raccoon, some deer, along with a few more typical animals. - Antipov

• Δ 14. Mayoral Quarters

  ( 1057 Mid Spring to onwards )
  These are the quarters of our mayor, currently Stukos Munestiton, who gained his position through making friends with at least a quarter of the fortress. He's a nice guy, and appointed 'Quick Tekkud' to Captain of the Guard as a political favor. - Antipov

• Δ 13. A Gift for Quick Tekkud
  I built this place because I was worried that Quick might die of water deprivation. It's a way to get water when the moat is frozen, as shown in the other Point of Interest, the water heater heats the the tiles of ice nearby, and the water flows in. However, it flooded due to water pressure this spring. Thankfully, no deaths. I'll sort this all out this winter as well as determine what to do about water in the long run. If you've got ideas, tell me. - Antipov
• Δ 13. Barracks
  The barracks. Nothing very impressive, I'll admit, but its functional. - Antipov
• Δ 13. Captain "Quick" Tekkud
  Our Captain of the guard, Quick Tekkud. He was injured very early on, but not before becoming known as incredibly agile. Sadly, that injury was to his upper spine. He has never recovered, but dictates his law enforcement duties to his admirers, of whom there are not many. The Mayor likes him, though. - Antipov
• Δ 13. More Residential space
  This area is where we will continue to accommodate the droves that seek prosperity at Letterchasm. The archery range can also be seen, carved in siltstone next door. - Antipov
• Δ 13. Primary Residential Space
  As it says. I made a mistake in the upper row, and its not perfectly symmetrical. So it goes. - Antipov
• Δ 13. The Baron's Quarters
  We should get a Baron soon, and I'm hoping that these quarters won't need too much improvement to be suitable for him. They were carved out a while ago, and gave some work to our legion of masons, engravers and miners. Eventually, that work might pay off. That would be atypical in the castle of Letterchasm. - Antipov
• Δ 13. The Prison
  As our fortress grew, I realized the necessity of a prison around the same time we really started needing more coffin-space. Thus, this dual purpose room. - Antipov
• Δ 12. Forges
  As it says, really. I sometimes push goblins into the lava around here. Depends on my mood, really. But, I think I've decided to feed them to my dogs from now on. - Antipov
• Δ 12. The Arena
  Around the time I finally got around to building the forges, we had already captured a full ambush force of goblins, as well as Orinur, the dreaded cave swallow who had ambushed the original mayor as he went to retrieve some deer fat, or something, and pushed him in a little pond. The mayor died, and the Cave Swallow tried to go on a rampage. The cave swallow got caught in our cage traps, and I was unsure how to get rid of him and the goblins. I concluded that they would fight to the death. I built this place for that purpose, and it served it well. The cave swallow took out 3 goblins and then I opened the grates, which lead down to lava, and all but one died. Then, I stationed my marksmen above to kill the last goblin. All in all, great success. - Antipov
• Δ 12. The Walkway
  So, the dillema of what to do in order to get to the other side of the moat was one that I confronted pretty early on with this walkway, which I think solves the problem quite well. I'm also thinking, that as I expand the moat this coming winter, the area under it might serve as the primary winter-water source. We'll see. - Antipov
• Δ 11. The Pit of Death (With lots of War Dogs!)

  ( 1057 Early Spring to onwards )
  Where we puts the goblins, kay? - Antipov

• Δ 11. The Water Heater
  This heats the ice, so that we could have some water last winter. I was very proud of this, even if it was only a temporary solution. I'm getting better at working with water and magma. My next fort will be really great!
  
  Or die a terrible death.
  
  Hopefully both. - Antipov
• Δ 10. The Hall of Heroes (WIP)
  This will be the tomb of my military, when its finished. It will be entirely obsidian, with Iron statues and sarcophagi, hopefully. Iron reclaimed from goblin blades and armor. Iron that we dwarves have won with the blood of our brothers, children, fathers, who we bury here. Forward, the banners of Letterchasm!
  
  
  Well, not quite that far. But you get it, I'm sure. - Antipov
