You let the dwarf in. He collapses before you can get to him, and he is sent to your healers. It takes several days to recover from his massive thirst. After inspecting his pack, it appears that his water supply must have run out almost a week ago, how he is alive we are uncertain, mainly because dwarves die after three days of no drinking in the desert. After being given lots of drink through the mouth (with hopes he does not choke, and he doesn't), he awakens 5 days later, although he is forced to stay in bed for at least another day. The elders of our council and almost all faction leaders hear of this, however the most important thing about him, is that he claims to be from The Great Dragonforge...

If you send a character to talk with him about this, please say so and ask him any questions you may have.

"The Great Dragonforge... A massive dwarven city, built well underground. The titans reside there, and dwarves see them, almost every day! The great King resides there, alongside the most high titan, the Worldshaper himself." He pauses for a second, trying to remember other details. "There's forges, plenty of them. One of them is powered by an enslaved dragon who uses her breath to melt metals that cannot be melted down with regular heat. In addition, we have an even shorter race called gnomes, smart little bastards. I think they're cute personally, but don't ever say that to their face. If you want to come to the dragonforge, you can come with me, but you better prepare good supplies."

>>2529150
"Aye I came alone. I was selected by the titans to drink from a precious source of water within a small grotto by the dragonforge. I am one of their best explorers, and I drank from the titanwell. It invigorated me, and let me walk great distances without getting tired, and live a long time without drinking water. Though once in a long while, I'd take a swig from my bottle, just to stay cool. Were it not for that, I'd have died on the way here."

>>2529209
Why have you come here then? Have the Titans sent you as a messenger?

>>2529222
"Yes. I have come to bring you to them. The titans have been waiting for you, and have chosen to accelerate the process, the reason they told me was that the trolls... They're rising up. They've forgotten their place in this world."

>>2529235
We shall all prepare to leave at once then! If the great titans call we must answer! I shall gather supplies, how many days do you need to rest for, if at all?

>>2529240
"Give me a week. The titans have waited many years for you, they can wait another week."

After a week of tenuous waiting, the proper supplies are prepared, with large amounts of water, goats, plenty of food... All that's missing is those you are sending. Who are you sending?

While the press forward is tiring, you are able to keep up with this explorer's fast pace! A large amount of supplies is on packs and even a couple small carts! The explorer brought only what he could carry, however he claims that this should be more than enough to get us to the dragonforge. We are approach the town of Dobak and resupply. Hopefully we will be able to survive the journey. The explorer states that there are no oases from Dobak to the Dragonforge. We press on!

After leaving the towns, it is a walk towards the dragonforge. A path heads upward, higher and higher into the mountain. After an hour or so of climbing, you reach the gates. A long bridge is in front of you, but the explorer guarantees you it is safe, it is simply best not to look down. Walking across the bridge he explains that the dragonforge is an impregnable fortress, capable of lasting for years under siege. In its many years of existence, not a single enemy was able to make it into the massive hold alive. You reach the great gates, and carvings of dwarves you do not know appear on the walls and on the gate itself. A guard from atop the ramparts yells at you.
"Why have you come here, followers of the titans?!"

>>2529570
"We have come from far south at the request of the Great Titans!"

>>2529577
>>2529570
"It is as the High Shaman said. They have called and we answered."

>>2529577
>>2529587
"Both acceptable answers..." He nods his head. He looks at the explorer, and the explorer replies.
"The followers of the titans have come to follow their path."

You hear the guard shout
"Open the gate!"

The gates slowly lumber open, and inside you are greeted by a massive hold, with a great hall, and people going about their daily business. Some seem to be smiths, others are here to sell what they have farmed. Your explorer guides you past this great hall, to the left and right you can see businesses and houses carved into the caveside, people peddling their wares, and you can see people in what appears to be religious clothing. Past the great hall, you enter a massive chamber, and very hot. Rivers of lava are visible, however you are pretty safe from them, great walkways let you pass through, with buildings atop them. You see temples, shrines, even more housing, gnomish workshops, and even a school for mages, as far as you can see for now. Heading into the central chamber, you see three walkways branching out in front of you. Directly in front of you the explorer states that there is the Worldshaper himself, the one you are to visit soon. To your left you can see dwarven men walking in with pickaxes, apparently starting their workshifts, while others walk out. To your right you hear the clanking of hammers... A sound familiar to you, that must be the great forge. The explorer says that the Dragonforge itself is inside there, but is unsure if you would even be permitted there.

Walking towards the place of the worldshaper, there is a massive gate that opens... As if someone could sense you were coming. As you enter, you find yourself within a hall so big, enormous would be an understatement. However, as you walk in, you are met by high priests, who whisper to you. "As you come up to him, you are to kneel. He will judge you worthy." Looking forward you find it... The worldshaper himself, sitting on a throne made of earth, and in front of him, almost tiny in comparison is the throne of the Dwarven King of the Dragonforge. The Worldshaper wears a massive golden crown filled with massive gems, and the King has one likewise... The hall seems to be plain, mostly, except for the runes etched around the titan. You hear a deep voice call out to you.

"Come, my children. Meet your maker."

What do you do?

>>2529712

>>2529712
Go forth and meet my maker.

The worldshaper nods. He doesn't seem to have a face, but his deep voice is distinctly that of a man. The dwarf king remains seated.

"I have called you here on important matters. The trolls are rising up once more. Those terrible, terrible beings. I am certain that you have fought them in the past. This has not been the first time they have risen up, but I will make sure it is the last. My children, I ask of you your aid in the battles against the Trolls. Stand in unison with your brothers, in the south, in the west, and in the north. We shall aid you however we can. Do you have any questions for me regarding this mission?"

>>2529776
"You say that this has happened in the past. Is it merely the creatures breeding out of control in their lands or something more pushing them to war?"

>>2529776
"I wish to cultivate the trolls' fear, how can I accomplish this."

>>2529776

>>2529799
"Something pushes them to war... I am uncertain as of right now, however I have a few ideas... I will have to confirm them first. My first thought is my long lost brother."

>>2529804
"Strike where they do not expect you, and say that you slay them in the name of the Worldshaper himself. That shall scare them well, they believe they are damned when slain by a man who proudly professes himself a follower of the worldshaper.

>>2529814
"We shall make proper accommodations in terms of technology, we shall send some well educated dwarves with you to refine your metallurgical techniques. Prove yourself loyal and you will gain even more."

>>2529891
"It is impossible to emulate the form of the worldshaper, I and I alone possess that form. However, in addition to the well-educated dwarves, I shall send shamans of the earth to your lands, to teach you the ways of the earth. If you prove yourself useful, and a good worshipper, I shall send one of my titan sons to your lands, to protect and teach."

He pauses for a second, and speaks again.
"If you have no other questions, you may leave."

>>2529915
Thank you for this audience Great Titan, we are but specks of dust in your presence.

>>2529915
"Thank you Great World-shaper."

Before you leave, three priests approach you and present to you a shield and a spear.
The priest holding nothing begins to speak.
"These are presents from the Great Dragonforge, however you are only permitted one. They have been forged by great quality smiths, and consider them relics, gifts from the Worldshaper. Pick one. We also suggest you give them to your chief, he can make the most use of it."

The priest holding the spear says, "It is a weapon designed for slaying trolls. A weapon similar to this was given to dwarves in the south a long time ago. However, this spear, as it draws troll blood will grow increasingly powerful, making it stronger and stronger, empowering both itself and the user. It also tends to glow which can be useful in a cave environment."

The priest holding the shield then begins to speak, "This shield is made to protect against the great swings of trolls. Made of Jutel and the lesser elemental metal, it can shrug off earthen attacks with ease, and is extremely sturdy. It has been enchanted with runes that are meant to lessen the damaging swing of a troll club."

Once the other two are finished, the third priest speaks again.
"Make your choice."
>A. The spear
>B. The shield

>>2529958

This spear can be a symbol of the Shaper's might as it strikes down even the greatest of the trolls.

The most important places of note have already been previously described, however you are taken to two important places, the High Temple of the Worldshaper, and are given a glimpse of the dragonforge itself. The High temple is filled with pilgrims and priests alike. You listen to a sermon about the importance of hard work, and how the worldshaper values it. It appears that there is a place where dwarves go when they die. If the Worldshaper finds them to have lived a good, honest life he will be sent to a paradise where nothing is in short supply, even the women! The fruits of his labor will reward him even in the afterlife. Whereas slobs who refuse to do anything are sent to an existence where they must toil and work hard for eternity. As for the Great Dragonforge, you get merely a glimpse, but all you could see was a shackled and caged Dragon being forced to breath fire into something like a furnace. Dwarves in heavily protective clothing, as well as two stone titans were seen working the metal, alongside numerous apprentices that skitter about doing other tasks.

>>2530082
You manage to get a few gnomes to come south, they do not number much, only about 20 join you, however they seem eager to come and work hard in your lands. Hopefully their population will grow.

The mages do not have anything to give to you, it seems to be restricted to foreigners, and claim that there are mages that will be sent to educate your people later on, as ordered by the Worldshaper.

>>2530113
It appears that the Lords, gnomes, and merchants are too caught up in their own affairs to talk to you. The Lords are busy preparing for war, the gnomes are busy tinkering, and the merchants are asking you to buy something rather than making small talk.

In addition, we also get some access to newer technology, such as swords and advanced bows! They start to teach us their ways, as well as supporting our researchers in their efforts.

Using the magic we have learned from our Dragonforge brethren, we apply the magic to our craft, specifically smithing. Using spells we are able to remove impurities with great effectiveness, giving us a stronger blade. In addition to this, using magic to compress the edge of the blade makes it far sharper and far more durable than before. In addition, we have acquired some runesmiths from the Great Dragonforge. They are able to carve runes into our swords to empower them, however they state that simple bronze simply cannot hold the power of the runes as well as more exotic metals could.

Magical resonance works well in the areas by the river, lands already prospected. We do find a small vein of a new ore, allegedly one that can hold runes, although it is small and hard to come by. The runesmiths know it, and have named it Terite, it can accomodate runes which means that potentially, the sword can be used to throw blasts of fire, or set itself on fire for a period of time. Very useful for swords, and even spears! If it is made into arrow heads, it can easily be used as burning arrows that cannot be extinguished until the runes run out of power. If made into armor, it can use the very earth itself to help shield the wearer from bodily harm, although for a short period of time.

Advancements in construction are made. We begin to use standardized bricks and stone. We use chisels to ensure that the shape is much better. In addition to this mortar is used to further reinforce the walls. All in all, this creates a much stronger wall which will not break easily to enemy attacks. This also allows us to build bigger buildings without them collapsing, because there will be mortar and brick/stone pillars to hold them up, as well as the walls themselves. Our engineers are already working on replacing our stone walls with this new and improved construction method.

The Terite bow begins to be worked on! We work on it day and night, and the Runesmiths are able to release a prototype. It works, however it takes a long time to reload. Putting the metal orb in is easy enough, however the rune itself must be recharged after each firing. This can take up to ten minutes to recharge with one magician. Two brings it down to 9 minutes. The most we can use is 5 magicians which brings it down to 5 minutes, the terite bow is a fearsome weapon, but requires terite, and a lot of work from only two runesmiths.

We build bridges over rivers! Using our newfound construction techniques of bricks and mortar, we are able to make bridges across rivers that don't collapse. This is good for our people, before you had to ford the river, or try to swim across and not drown. Now, its much easier to cross with the bridges, which can even accommodate carts! It is a boon to our transportation, and three bridges have been built, one that leads south from the main hold, one that leads west, and one across the river in the southwestern holds.

Study the mysteries of Mana and how it works within the body, also find out if there are other ways to gain mana.

>>2538298
SUpporting

We begin to delve into mana. Our shamans attempt to feel out the way mana works in the body. We cannot pinpoint an exact location in terms of where mana originates, our shamans feel it throughout their body. There is no known way to gain mana aside from it simply coming back over time. Some shamans believe that praying to the titans can get it back faster, others have seen no success. Perhaps it is a "Blessing" like a bountiful harvest, we are not sure. Within the body, the shamans direct the flow of mana, and whenever they recite the incantation of a spell, it feels almost like they're "ordering" the mana within their body to do something. When they incantation is finished, the mana does what it's told and the spell is cast.

In other news, the preachers from the great dragonforge are starting to demand a temple to the titans, built under their orders to ensure that it is what the great titan wants.

The preachers moan and grumble when we tell them we are going to build it our way, some are even outraged! The plans for the temple are set, we shall build scaled down models of the titans, alongside a hall for the worshipers to worship the titan of their choice. The Preachers are kind enough to let us know that there are 10 titans in total, and to build them all would take far too many resources and too much time. Therefore, we scale down the statues of the titans (to approximately 10 feet tall), because they also wouldn't fit, the preachers are ok with this change... The Great hall also has a great altar for sacrifices, and a couple of smaller altars for sacrifices when there is a particularly large amount of sacrificial offerings in the land. In addition, there is a pulpit for when the priest/preacher chooses to give a sermon or homily regarding the greatness of the titans and their teachings. There are also etchings of words of wisdom from the titans that the preachers have stated. Here are a couple examples:
-"Hard Work guarantees rewards, both in the short and long term"
-"The farmer feeds the smith and the warrior, the smith provides weapons to the warrior and tools for the farmer, and the warrior protects both."

FP 2 difficulty: Medium
The war goats you breed are a step up from the main goats you used to use. The Goats that you used to use had no difference from the standard goats people used. However, with these new and improved war goats, they are restricted to exclusively the military because "no one should be allowed to use a war goat that can run that fast" (please get the joke)

FP 3 Difficulty: Medium
While you do expand your trade network within the eastern dwarven lands, they aren't too interested about the worldshaper right now, preferring to be more by the sea and more in tune with the water than the earth exclusively.

Our new capital's name is Koropolis! At last we have a capital name to be proud of, and many dwarves agree with it. As for the name, we weren't interested in the name "republic" however, the "Serene Valley Holds" seemed like a good name. This valley was mostly serene anyway, except for that one troll attack that we fended off quite easily. Regardless, at last, our nation has a name to be proud of!

We begin to develop animal husbandry. Our mastery of goats is true, with us having the first wargoats thanks to Clan Aezak. However, we set our sights on new animals. Clan Aezak brings cows and pigs to the Serene Valley, and as it turns out, killing and then cooking these animals gives us a very tasty meat that keeps us full for quite a long time! The cows can also provide milk similar to goats, while it has a different taste, it is also quite beneficial to our dwarves who are quick to pick up this milk and drink it often. Some say it makes them stronger, however we cannot understate the importance of cows and pigs, they give us some very good meat to add to our diet on top of what we get from goats.

Difficulty: Very hard
Hard work is put in by many many clans, but right now there is simply no way to regain mana outside one thing. Mana potions, it appears that the Great Dragonforge has mana potions, which are able to restore mana very quickly. They are however, expensive as the herbs necessary to make them are quite rare. As for the mysteries of mana, it appears that mana seems to control the elements themselves when used in spells. Some shamans enter a ritual of communing with the elements, and attempt to delve into the mysteries of mana... They black out for several days... But what they tell you is astonishing. There is a world beyond this one... Made purely of mana. The world seems similar to ours, however everything has a seemingly bluish tint, and everything that transpires looks chaotic in nature, wild movements by inanimate objects is one example. They felt as if only seconds had gone by, they saw something for several seconds, and heard a voice, as if it was ecstatic to meet them, "Hello, now goodbye!" They woke up after hearing that voice.


>>2538765
Difficulty: Sliding (you beat the very hard DC)
You manage to find a very potent healing herb! Yethril! It seems to cure almost all poisons known to you, but it does not cure any diseases. When this herb is mixed with water, when an injured soldier drinks it, or anyone with moderate wounds (nothing mortal) will find that their wounds heal much faster, although there is more scarring.

>>2538806
Difficulty: Medium
You manage to attract quite a few people willing to become farmers. Some are bums, however you are able to properly start up the farms, and by the end of the decade have several farms and a steady source of income and food to your name. These people are grateful and intend on working with you. Their economic situation as a whole improved greatly.

A large wall is built to keep the trolls out! This wall is quite sturdy, and is tall enough to prevent trolls from getting over it. In addition, we have placed a fort as the only way through the wall. While we do not have the manpower to man the entire wall, small garrisons are assigned to sections of the wall, and a fire signal system is prepared. The main fort has a decent garrison, since it is the most crucial point.

We begin to open up trade routes with the south and the North! The Great Dragonforge and the Kingdom of Tokrab begin to send us caravans where they buy our goods and sell their own, and then return to their own nations. This has bolstered our economy by a significant amount, mainly because the Dragonforge has a lot to offer us! The Dragonforge offers us shiny yellow metals which we call gold, which we then trade to Tokrab and the Eastern Dwarves. Tokrab and the eastern dwarves offer us fish, wood, charcoal, and foods which we sell off to the Dragonforge in exchange for more gold. It works pretty well for us.

As your explorers proceed south, they are able to map the former lands of the troll tribes, quite interesting, as far as you can see. However, proceeding further south you meet the dwarves. These dwarves don't seem to be far too different from us. However, they seem to have more of a focus on farming above ground, whereas we have extensive underground farms of Mushrooms in parts of mines which are no longer used, and have smaller farms within some holds. In addition, they do hold the faith of the titans, but it is much more primitive, similar to what we had earlier on, when Khornab had only recently left us. However, what is most interesting is that the Tokrab have shown to us enormous birds! Well, at least relatively enormous in size, they're just big enough to carry a dwarf with light clothes and few weapons. They have a very limited number of them, about 50 at most, and they breed rarely. However, our explorers have heard tales of an absolutely bird, which legend says only leaves his nest to hunt when two suns hang in the air. It is said that the bird can eclipse the sun on that day, to maintain the illusion of there only being one sun. Our explorers are able to procure maps of the southern territories, as well as map the lands of the former troll tribes.

You look further into the ability to summon elementals, and you are able to succeed! Our runesmiths offer some help with this, drawing a proper rune in the ground with anything, usually dirt or something else allows you to conjure up an elemental corresponding to the rune you drew! Drawing an earth rune into the ground and attempting to formulate a spell that calls forth the elemental, you are able to bring stone to life, with it assembling before your very eyes! WIth your will imposed on it, you are able to move it around.

The Grand temple is constructed in the lands of Tokrab.

>>2542229
Ok, well if you're right Oldfag will disregard.

Since workshops were previously built, we will make the massive Terite bow.

It takes us quite a long time to construct a massive Terite bow. However, at the end of the day, we have one that can crash down a brick wall and destroy a line of trolls given they are one behind the other. It shoots a chiseled boulder into a sphere-like shape, we say its good enough. It takes almost a day to recharge mana-wise. However, every time its fired, the magical energy expelled is so great it causes some wear for both the barrel and the rune. We are not sure how many fires it can take, but we are certain we should not use it too often. Although it has also been untested in combat, and takes 5 minutes to fire, it works.

Prospecting the troll lands, especially the troll holes gives us a wealth of minerals! Copper and Tin abounds in these areas. However, what we find is really amazing! Our Runesmiths identify it as "The Lesser Elemental Metal." They explain to us simply how it works. It isn't as good as say, Terite in terms of armor making or weapon making, however it is very useful for other endeavors. While it is still rare, the Lesser Elemental metal is amazing for holding Runes, and even enhances the power of these runes, making them even more powerful! It can also be used to make staffs to further enhance the abilities of our shamans. Although it isn't very good on its own in armor or weapons, pieces of it can be added into the Terite armor which allows the runes to be charged for longer, and operate more effectively. It can also be added to terite in the form of an alloy, which allows the Lesser Elemental metal to have an even more potent effect on the runes, but weakens the armor overall.

The Upgrades to the cannons with the lesser elemental metal is truly interesting! The runes are able to last longer. While the barrel itself may require repair or replacement, the Lesser Elemental metal ensures that the rune stays in place for a long time. In addition, the LEM allows us to fire these projectiles with more force. This enables them to shoot faster, and break down walls and trolls with even greater ease! Even the smaller terite bows shoot faster, and a well-placed shot can kill a troll at 100 yards! However, the supply of them is limited. There is only 1 large terite bow, and about 5 smaller terite bows. However, they are still lethal.

Some truly interesting news comes out of the west!
Some adventurous explorers have gone to the west and found... Swamps. Muddy and filled with water, and trees we also find an interesting kind of inhabitant. They look like fish... Sort of. We don't understand their language, but they didn't attack our explorers when they entered our lands. The swamps seem to have several rivers and a frequent rainy season. In addition to these "merfolk", which seem to be somewhat friendly. They're an oddity to be sure though. In other news, the map has been finished (which will come in the following post)

We begin to move and encourage dwarves to move south, to settle the lands that the trolls have formerly lived in! We tear down many of the troll settlements and build new dwarven settlements on top of them. While this is a large undertaking, many dwarves are eager to move south. While some are more content with living within the holds, the farmers see fertile land and go after it. Especially large amounts of free land given to them by the government. This greatly expands our borders.

I wonder? Support

A runesmith academy is built! While this means that our two current Runesmiths must halt their runesmithing operations for quite some time, this ensures that we will have a future of Runesmiths. The two become teachers, and are pretty rigorous in their application process, but by the end of the year they are able to accept 40 students to teach. These students will go through the required 5 years of learning in order to become a runesmith, however this investment will surely pay off very nicely!

Difficulty: Hard
You continue to delve into piercing the veil between worlds. It is hard work, but you continue anyway. The group of shamans works tirelessly, again and again. They don't seem to get through to anything... Until they get through to a reddish-tinted version of our world. They stay for several seconds, and they hear an absolutely angry female voice, "What gave you the right to come here? To intrude into this location? The Sanctum of Wydroganet cannot be disturbed! Begone, Hashakal!" Your dwarves awaken, several days having passed, yet only about 30 seconds had passed in that land.

>>2542604
Difficulty: Medium
The Herb farm is set up, and you use the troll hole as something to work off of in terms of developing it further, before long you are able to turn that troll hole into a small hold!

>>2542613
Difficulty: Very Hard
While creating a stronger elemental is harder, you are able to pull it off. The elemental itself is capable of casting spells, though they are very weak. In size it is relative to that of a troll. This sort of elemental takes 5 strong dwarven mages to control, but the power of this can be certainly a good addition to any fighting force! However, the dwarves can only control it for about 2 hours before they simply just lose all their mana and energy.

>>2542616
Difficulty: Hard
While the training for informants is rigorous, and not many survive the process of training, you are able to get a force of trained informants at your disposal. You have one master, a 6 professionals, and 24 Apprentice Informants. While they aren't many, they can certainly acquire information and pass it on without being seen.

>>2542618
Difficulty: Sliding (failed)
You try and find some ore in the mountains bordering mount LEM, but you are unable to find any ore, perhaps due to the lack of Miners.

You are able to draw yet more settlers to the southern lands. They are mainly farmers, looking for more fertile land. You do not attract many miners, and few want to go to walled settlements, they prefer to simply farm, it is quite good as a profession and the land is fertile, ensuring good harvests.
