Points of Interest

• Δ 229. The Gate Ramps

  ( 213 Mid Summer to 218 Mid Summer )
  Dastot Lisatzon writes in his journal:
  
  "This is what the average dumbass sees when he comes up to this sacred place. A huge outdoors tunnel coupled with some fancy logowork, flanked by a pair of massive andesite ramps with Liontower's precious face on top of 'em. Yep, those damn ramps are FULL! Took four years to get these all up and ready." - Shurikane

• Δ 26. Deduk Inethmafol's Luxurious Tomb

  ( 213 Mid Summer to 218 Mid Summer )
  Dastot Lisatzon writes in his journal:
  
  "When I learned the spineless idiot had decided to build himself a super-mausoleum for his own fabricated glory, I countered with a bit of my own revenge. The instant he died, I snuck his body into some cheap-ass andesite box and jammed him right into the ramp under construction.
  
  Armok's gonna have a nice little surprise when he sees the little self-important maggot crawling to him with nothing but a piece of rock as his garment. That's all he deserves. He thought he was doing Liontower a favor by doing all this work. Shit no! Liontower does a favor to you! And you thank him by doing all that puny little construction even though you know this'll never be enough!
  
  Whatever. Screw him, screw 'em, screw this entire damn fort. No way in hell I'm applying for mayor after him. That job is for weak-ass chumps. I'll let some other idiot claim the spot while I go and perform the real management: work orders, treasury and trading. By the time I'm done here, I'll be second to Liontower and sit right next to Him after my death! Ha!" - Shurikane

• ¶ 15. Cage Alley III

  ( 213 Mid Summer to onwards )
  Dastot Lisatzon writes in his journal:
  
  "So after the death of that cocksucker Deduk Inethmafol, I went straight to his little piece of shit he calls a cage alley and gave it enough of a facelift to make a three hundred year old grandma look like a skank.
  
  Each alley can now take in a full siege of 231 invaders, and if they're really pissed, I can take in as many as 924! Imagine filling every single trap. Those idiots are gonna need some serious backup, and boy have I got the place prepared for 'em. If even one of them gets past this impenetrable defense, I'm sacrificing myself to Liontower!" - Shurikane

• Δ 15. PUKE!
  Dastot Lisatzon writes in his journal:
  
  "Placing the refuse stockpile under the barracks had a nasty effect on the guards. I thought they were build stronger than that, but no sir, no! The sun alone is enough to make 'em redecorate the place everytime they walk outside. Pussies, all of them! PUSSIES! They can go ahead and drown in their puke as far as I'm concerned. They're a useless bunch of bastards anyway." - Shurikane
• 48. The Drop Tower

  ( 206 Mid Autumn to 218 Mid Summer )
  Deduk Inethmafol writes in his journal:
  
  "Although the engineering was simple, the execution was anything but. We've actually had to stop at this level because the scaffoldings were starting to shake around in the wind. We quickly laid down a foundation of obsidian and proceeded to build the walls.
  
  The end result is a top-feeding drop shaft with two drawbridges. The first is meant to flush the current batch down one level when the pansies who handle the beasts get too scared of the screams coming from below. The second performs the actual job. I ended up giving in to the demand of a hatch to shield citizen eyes from 'those horrible, horrible goblins.' This led to this unsightly third lever on the far end. I will kick down whoever pulls this lever without my express authorization.
  
  We also built an auxiliary shaft in order to safely and quickly discard enemy weapons." - Shurikane

• Δ 9. Dastot Lisatzon's Very Modest Tomb

  ( 213 Mid Summer to 218 Mid Summer )
  Dastot Lisatzon writes in his journal:
  
  "This is where I'm gonna be put to my final rest. Deduk thought he was being a smartass by having this place secretly built, but nothing escapes my eye. The secret tunnel, the chamber, the mass engravings, the big giant box with Liontower's viasge on them - I had seen it all long, long before he even came close to suspecting anything. Hey, idiot! When you ask other people to do your dirty work, they gossip about it! Everyone was talking about it behind your back!
  
  So what do I do? I pick that up and I make it mine, and whoever disagrees with my decision is gonna have a dig workorder on both of his eyes! Do I make myself clear?" - Shurikane

• Δ 9. Sleepysmurf's Burial Chamber

  ( 213 Mid Summer to 218 Mid Summer )
  Written on the plaque of this decorated trifle pewter coffin is the following:
  
  "Uvash Onshenkol, also known as Sleepysmurf, survived a sneak goblin ambush by casually walking to the top of the Eastern Ramp under construction at the time, and taking a snooze as carnage erupted down below. He woke up several days later after a mason screamed at him to get out of the way for the placement of a wall section.
  
  For his wonderful calmness in dealing with a dire situation, Sleepysmurf has been awarded with a personal burial chamber, a trifle pewter coffin, and two alunite statues. Sleep a while, now sleep forever."
  
  The last part has been concealed under a sort of masking tape, indicating the aforementioned Uvash Onshenkol is still alive at the moment. - Shurikane

• Δ 9. The Survivor's Burial Chamber

  ( 213 Mid Summer to 218 Mid Summer )
  Written on the plaque of this superiorly crafted copper coffin is the following:
  
  Asob Unibolon, also known as The Survivor, was drafted along with ten other dwarves caught outside the fortress during a surprise attack and ordered to fight back an incoming force of eighty speargoblins, crossbowgoblins, and axegoblins. Rather than attack, he smarly turned heels, went all the way around the outer wall and came in through the opposite side of Cage Alley, in blatant defiance of his orders.
  
  For his quick wit and his ability to escape an overwhelming situation, The Survivor has been rewarded with a personal burial chamber, a copper coffin, and two alunite statues, where he has been laid to rest as his nickname finally ceased to prove itself."
  
  The last part has been concealed under a sort of masking tape, indicating the aforementioned Asob Unibolon is still alive at the moment. - Shurikane

• Δ Lion Treasures

  ( 213 Mid Summer to 218 Mid Summer )
  Dastot Lisatzon writes in his journal:
  
  "This is our artifact vault. Whoever takes one of these away, even if he owns it, gets punished by a swift chop to the family jewels. Artifacts are all property of Liontower, and therefore, my property!" - Shurikane
