Pyros will have to wait a bit longer, as the Dwarfing list specifies the first male noble. We have a Queen.
Next update will probably power straight through summer and autumn unless things get REALLY eventful. ------ Diary of Urdim {unintelligible}, Knight of Besmar Tarmid --- 14th Slate, 58 --- The miners complain of boredom, so I've ordered a suitable office and living quarters dug out for me. Should keep them busy, and this way I'll have something more suitable than a dining table in the mess hall to work from. --- 18th Slate, 58 --- The elves have embarked on their journey. Good riddance. --- 23rd Slate, 58 --- A scout has reported to me that the Goblins from so long ago have packed up their things and left. What's more, one of our weaponsmiths has been taken by a burst of divine inspiration. And the magma has only just arrived at our forges. I fear by the time they are powered up it will be too late. Right now he's just sulking in the dining room. --- 4th Felsite, 58 --- Incredible news today! We got a wave of migrants, twenty-one in all (good, this means I'll have enough to fill out a marksdwarves' corps). At the head of them was none other than our queen Olon herself! I was afraid she had perished like so many before her on that day, but it appears the might of a dragon is no match for the fortitude of dwarven royalty. Now, with her returned to our people, Workgill cannot fall! In other news, Fath Dodokam, the 'inspired' dwarf, has gone mad from lack of a suitable forge from which to work. Further, with our boost in population, our reclusive broker has declared himself Mayor of Workgill and seems to think he's now entitled to more holdings as a result.  I'll grant him the office as long as he continues to manage work orders, but the rest will have to wait till our queen is satisfied.  Perhaps we should try mining out some adamantine without disturbing the demons to achieve this task. --- 21st Felsite, 58 --- We finally have consistent power throughout all our magma facilities. Let the ore flow! --- 1st Hematite, 58 --- Excavation of the Adamantine goes well. I've yet to have any of it USED yet, but it will happen in good time. In other news, I've found that the former overseer Wigmund indulged his sense of grandeur a little too far, claiming both of our artifacts (a weapon rack and a casket) as his own. I've ordered them confiscated them for the queen.

Does the arrival of royalty bring any benefits with it at all? Or are they really just ballast to be killed in fascinating ways?
BTW, what tileset do you use? And can you provide me with a link, if possible? Also, congratulations to Thadius. |

Fortress Guard Captain Wigmund's Journal
4th of Felsite, 58
I have received news that I am now Captain of the Guard of this outpost...nay Mountainhome because of the arrival of the Queen. Hail Queen Olon, may her reign be long. 1st of Hematite, 58 When I return to leadership of this hell hole... they will all rue this day... Especially Queen Olon... *Wigmund has entered a Fell Mood!* *Wigmund has begun plotting a horrible secret plan!* ----------------- Actually, I'm cool with the artifacts being taken to placate the Queen. Since the legendary mason (who's hopefully still around) can just crap out a masterwork weapons rack for the Sheriff/Captain of the Guard...assuming the cripple still holds that position.

The king/queen is no more or less useful than any other noble. They don't even make mandates or demands. They just have VERY high living requirements, and their arrival means you will no longer receive liasons (possibly fall caravans as well? God I hope not) from the mountainhome, as your fortress now IS the mountainhome.
And of course I wouldn't replace you as Captain. A crippled captain is perfect for ensuring I don't lose anybody to overzealous justice.

Hey, I can be a queen, via magical skills (but no, I can't be a queen, or a Queen, even though I'm having a good time, having a good time.) Blargh! I'll have to wait even longer before suffering a terrible water related accident.
Though I did expect to show up disguised as a peasant because otherwise everyone else would know I was ditching that crappy non-adamantium laden "mountainhome" and come with me. But for those who foresee my doom, know that I am not incapable of revenge. For there is a reason why Thad's book MEOWS, and it MEOWS for thee!

Diary of Thadius, 4th Felsite, 58
A large number of dwarves migrated in today...what's that, Economicon? Proclaim myself mayor?... GOOD IDEA! I am THADIUS, MAYOR OF THIS MOUNTAINHOME, RULER OF ALL I SEE! 5th Felsite, 58 Olon Delltrade is here, apparently. She's not pleased with my antics. Again. It seems like every time I start to have fun, she puts her foot down.

A vile force of darkness will arrive!
Another immigration wave like this and we'll have our first siege before the end of winter.

Soon we have to make Asylums for all these immigrants, which they will have to be processed in the case of disease and finding out if they have useful working skills before joining the Dwarven community.
Hmm, Dwarven Penal colony for offenders,they can be the first into the pits and danger...*Scribbles this down*

...what in the fuck?
I order all non-soldier dwarves to stay indoors, I zone the statuary as a meeting hall, and I forbid absolutely EVERYTHING outside, yet a bunch of jobless dwarves are still going out and getting themselves killed by an ambush. Makes no goddamn sense. Somehow I know this is the fault of Wigmund and his channel-building.
