And elves? Why do they use springs as shrines?
Seriously, I can't think of a reason humans couldn't use springs as worship sites, unless DF!Humans are supposed to be naytheists

From my understanding, the humans in Dwarf Fortress are meant to be like the ones you always hear of in those medieval fairytales, with knights and castles and all that. I just have a hard time imagining them, or elves for that matter, worshiping a pool of hot water. But I think it would definitely be fitting for dwarves, cave people, and maybe even some animal men to worship hot springs though.

People have worshipped stupider things, such as...um, your least-liked religon's god.
More to the point, it's not necessarily that they worship the spring so much as consider it "holy," regardless of what god they worship.

((As is no indicated in my action,)) "I will be staying within eyeshot."

You're assuming we can make heads or tails of the controls.
Imagine taking an average college professor who has never touched a rougelike and putting him/her at the controls of Dwarf Fortress and multiply that clusterf--- by three or four.

Few questions, if I may?

First, why does an axe have a penalty to collecting wood? I can't imagine using an adze to cut down a tree or chop off large branches(though for preparing said wood, it would do very well, as well as stripping small branches from dead trees).

Because it seemed like a sensible way to balance axes and adzes. Axes are more weapons, adzes are more tools.
Rephrasing that: Adzes are made for cutting wood, axes are made for killing. Each is worse at the other's task.

Second, will I be joining next turn, or do you only want to deal with 8 different islands for now

Just eight for now. Maybe in a few turns.

I thought I had some more, but I don't remember them.

Ask whenever.

The islet.

Okay, then. It'll take someone or -two to move all your supplies and stuff to the islet from the spot on the other end of the isle. Any other actions?

((Did I just lose my bonus to attack?))

Hm, good question. Let's go with "until you heal a point of damage."

Its the only explanation for the gibberish they speak.
