The Earth, Struck

We'll start with the deities. Let's see who the founders of Flickeredchannels worship.

• Stettad Ber Istrath: Stettad the Earth of Jewels is a deity of The Rainy Boulders. Stettad most often takes the form of a male dwarf and is associated with trade, wealth, jewels and minerals.
• Lal: Lal is a deity of The Rainy Boulders. Lal most often takes the form of a male dwarf and is associated with fortresses.
• Rungak: Rungak is a deity of The Rainy Boulders. Rungal most often takes the form of a male dwarf and is associated with trees.
• Amug Oggezshedim: "Amug Holeshadow" is a deity of The Rainy Boulders. Amug most often takes the form of a male firefly and is associated with the sky and the stars.
• Id Zas Doren: "Id the Crystal of Diamonds" is a deity of The Rainy Boulders. Id most often takes the form of a male dwarf and is associated with metals.

So this is the pantheon the dwarves will worship as they say their prayers every night before going to bed on their pile of rocks. Now, looking through their relationships, I noticed something interesting:


It would appear that Rimtar Desormonom, the Jeweler, has a grudge against Domas Lisidfikod, the Miner. An argument that started before they even left the mountainhomes? Maybe one blames the other for the mess they're in presently! Whatever the case, I better keep those two apart for now.

Next, let's take a look at the surroundings. Where the hell are we?

We appear to be in some sort of ravine, at the very bottom by the river. Here's a shot of the middle level:

And here's a shot of the doomed little dwarves, so happy, yet so hopeless:

Right, so, time to priotize objectives. Goblins aren't going to attack for a year or two, so we should spend our first year securing proper lodgings and food.

• Create a farm with something to eat and something to brew
• Dig out a large room to serve as a meeting hall
• Build beds and barrels as the wood supply allows
• Build a kitchen and proper storage for the food
• Build a Trade Depot

These are my year 1 goals. Let's see how well I can meet them!
