Summer 450

While still at 18 dwarves, it is time to take stock of the fortress population and start thinking about ranged and melee militias. And other military matters.

Mountainous Funerals (Royal Guard, War Hammers)

The Royal Guard uniform is full steel, plus steel weapon, wooden shield, and silk under/over garments (3 cloaks, 3 hoods, tunic, trousers, gloves).

  • Zefon Ducimlinem
  • Ineth Kadoldodok
  • Eshtan Ushuldumat

Hills of Mourning (melee training)

The Hills of Mourning is a lightweight melee militia uniform with just a few metal pieces, leather shaped armor, and two layers of silk. Dwarves will participate in this squad until they attain enough skill to be promoted to one of the Mountainous squads.

  • Inglish Adilzokun
  • Dobar Dakostging
  • Logem Sebsuradil
  • Goden Gamilrakust

1st/2nd Militia (ranged)

The ranged militia all use leather shaped armor, a few metal pieces (helm, gauntlets, high boots) and the rest as whatever.

  • Aban Muzishmeng
  • Lor Gongiththikut
  • Bembul Dakostalis
  • Tosid Athelnosim
  • Zulgar Gatizkeskal

Others

Miners, woodcutters and hunters do not get assigned to squads.

Winter 452

Current couples in the fortress:

  • Aban Muzishmeng / Tosid Athelnosim
  • Bembul Dakostalis / Logem Sebsuradil

Time to open the floodgates to migrants. Raising the population cap from 15 to 75 should result in a big migration wave.

I have room right now to build out 72 bedrooms (18 per level, four levels).

Spring 453

Migrants (brings us to forty dwarves):

  • Aban Sedurushat (wife of Edem Abirfikod)
  • Adil Oltaratol (husband of Lorbam Domasardes)
  • Atis Zefonducim (wife of Urvad Eteserith)
  • Cog Ustutheral
  • Dastot Esmosus (wife of Domas Usanerush)
  • Domas Usanerush (husband of Dastot Esmosus)
  • Edem Abirfikod (husband of Aban Sedurushat)
  • Geshud Koganlid (marksdwarf)
  • Led Shembomrek (wife of Onol Odasen )
  • Lokum Muthkatedan (wife of Melbil Bomrekuvel)
  • Lorbam Domasardes (marksdwarf, wife of Adil Oltaratol)
  • Melbil Bomrekuvel (husband of Lokum Muthkatedan)

Note: Sigun Nethrimtar is a close relative of the king, Tirist Urdimgusil. At 164 years old, he will probably pass away soon.

Possible barons:

  • Lor Gongiththikut (no item preferences)
  • Zulgar Gatizkeskal (gauntlets, only age 23)

Summer 453

DF2014: Teyo Asada (453) Dumaterith Armok Vision

Current view of the fortress in Armok Vision. The smaller 3-tile wide bridge on the right is the original entrance near where the wagon was.

The upper fortress has bridges connecting to the south and west “islands” on the embark. Those bridges span a 25-30 tile drop to the river down in the chasm. I went with five tile wide bridges for safety, and the outer tiles are marked as “restricted traffic”.

The hill around the upper fortress was flattened a bit and the natural rock walls of the fortress were smoothed to make it difficult or impossible to climb.

DF2014: Teyo Asada (453) Dumaterith Main Entrance

The larger entrance down on the lower plain is the current front gate. It’s not yet a high-security design, but it’s a long way back into the mountain to get to the inner fortress.

Migrants:

  • Sarvesh Ezumust (husband of Mosus Thikutmistem)
  • Mosus Thikutmistem (wife of Sarvesh Ezumust)
  • Udil Nethducim
  • Sibrek Loloklisid (husband of Mosus Rimadvutok)
  • Mosus Rimadvutok (wife of Sibrek Loloklisid)
  • Kol Nileszefon
  • Aban Lertethvabok
  • Rigoth Oslaneral

I’ll be starting a 3rd and possibly 4th militia crossbow squad next year. With seventy-five dwarves, my goal is to have about 60-65 in military squads.

Autumn 453

First mining injury. Lokum Muthkatedan was injured in a small mining accident. Both arms were involved in the accident. Adil Oltaratol was also injured, probably just the left hand (the other injuries were deflected by the pig tail cloak).

We do have a level 5 diagnostician, Dastot Esmosus. She will be appointed as the chief medical dwarf. I also have level 6 wound dresser and suturer, Udil Nethducim.

Both dwarves were treated and released from the hospital within about two weeks.

Migrants:

  • Dastot Tishifath
  • Melbil Asesdor (husband of Moldath Berbesmar)
  • Moldath Berbesmar (wife of Melbil Asesdor)
  • Tirist Zaludushat (wife of Thob Lolokashok)
  • Thob Lolokashok (husband of Tirist Zaludushat)
  • Dodok Tinothbim
  • Meng Logemimush
  • Libash Ingizlular
  • Doren Ulololtar
  • Stodir Tabarmosus

New draftees

  • Dodok Tinothbim
  • Dastot Tishifath
  • Aban Lertethvabok
  • Geshud Koganlid

Winter 453

Atis Zefonducim (wife of Urvad Eteserith), gave birth to a girl, Tulon Thikutadil.

Another small mining accident with Zuglar Oslanner (left hand).

The dwarven were-beast, Id Dorenbunem, is being setup in the execution chamber. Death by marksdwarves is the sentence. Id attacked the fortress a few seasons ago and was captured in a cage trap.

Another mining accident, Stodir Tabarmosus.

Zulbar Kibromek has been elected as mayor of Dumaterith.
