This will be story of the raise of nation. The last seven dwarf will be fighting for the glory of the dwarven race.
The rules and goals of this scenerioIf you dont want see goals and be suprised by story, don't open spoiler tab.
This scenario is ment to be really difficult megaproject.
Preembark rules:
- The world must have all races
- The dwarven race must be almost extinct and your civilization must be dead
- The dwarven will have only fighting skills
- Stuff for embark will be only weapons adequate to dwarven skills, basic armor and one anvil
- No food or drink allowed
- No animals allowed
Goals:
Goal of this scenerio is without any help from other world create five cities on one embark.
The scenario expect that there will be three caverns in embark and hell. In every cavern dwarves must create city. Cities must not be walled of the rest of the environment, with only exception of hell where there can be made glass globe (like in story Under the dome) which will keep demons out. Every city will contain only one family as main citizens. Every city must contain each of areas as tavern, library and temple. Under each city it is expected to create catacombs for tombs of citizens.
Postembark rules:
- Population cap must be set on minimum. If possible it's best to not allow any migrants to come.
- Dwarves dont trust the others, so there is not allowed any trading for first hundered years
- Population cap can be enlarged only because of born childrens. Because civilization is dead none migrants should come.
The stories will be divided into chapters which will vary in lenght. Unfortunately because of my other responsibilities I cannot promise that chapter will be posted periodicaly.
This story is inspired by story Archcrystal: 300 years in a fortress [SPOILERS] (

Thank you a lot for your inspiration.
Chapter one
In the deep forest the group of seven dwarfs stoped. "I am tired, here we will stop" said Tempie, the ginger dwarf girl with huge hammer.
"Really Tempie, you and tired?" asked Chip, the dwarf axeman, when he lowered the axe.
"Shut up stupid!" replied Tempie. Tempie has that name because she was really temperament and straightforward, so others made fun of that.
"Ok lets make the camp here. I guess we not need to move forward more." responded Gamekeeper, the small dwarf, which looked really tired. "Hey Chip! Collect some wood please" said someone from group. "Heh with pleasure." replied Chip and with one swing he struck done small tree. "There is your wood." grinned a little.
So the group of seven sit down around newly created campfire and rested a bit. In the group there was already mentioned Chip. He was robust and he really liked his axe. The nickname Chip he got because his hobby to cut things down.
Next to him was sitting Chord. He was bit skinny and a really lot lazy. He liked the free date. But when it came to fight, bolt from his crossbow every time hit the right place.
Next one was Sharpie, normally grown guy with hobby of carving the stuff from wood. He also liked the shape of the axe.
Next to Sharpie sat Majorette bit smaller girl with very long hairs. On her side was nice copper sword. She was fast and her movement was really graceful. When she get into rage she was like huricane and she was able to deal really lot of damage.
Next one was Ginger, tough girl with big hammer. She loved hammer. And also her shield. She was like a wall in war against goblins. And noone get through her. She has a very beautiful ochre hairs. Its the reason why she was called ginger.
Next dwarf was Gamekeeper. He didn't like fights so when he had to fight, he chose crossbow. Together with his crossbow, he developed the love in hunting and game keeping. When anybody wanted from him to capture the food, it hat to be done by tradition. No skipping any part because of hunger.
The last one from our group is Tempie. The temperament swordmasteress. But even when she was really straightforward she had all the time the best of the group in her mind.
"Hey what about to stay here for few days? I guess we let goblins a long time behind us." asked Chord. "We could stay here few days maybe to try to seattle down here."
"Ok we could try. But in first sign of trouble we are leaving, understand?" said Tempie. "Understand." replied others.
So the group of last dwarves created the first camp. The place where a glory of their nation had to grow again.
In the next post I will show some preembark setting of the try.
. And better quality of items create better thoughts. Also stolen artefact can be stored there and that can lead up to war with some nation/civilization.
