I posted the deities once before in this thread along with the symbol.

Quote
The symbol of the Watchful Rag is an Amethyst Man, the deities are Aran (God of Fertility, Rain, and Thunder, who spends his time either screaming or contemplating with a rare laughing fit), Rakas Tradesold (God of Fortresses, Trade, and Wealth; contemplative in nature), Tholest Bladedangers (Goddess of Revenge; easily offended and tends to strike a menacing pose), Aned Goldgilds the Luck of Matches (God of Gambling, who stands triumphant), and the relatively rare Gigin the Zenith of Ink (God of Sun and Light, who also stands triumphant) and the as-yet unseen Limul (God of Volcanos, Mountains, and Jewels) and Asas (Goddess of Courage).

Waiting on Torr right now... he is trying to get to a place to retire before being able to upload the file.

Considering the symbol of the Watchful Rags, I think any city plan needs to include a giant amethyst man statue (made of stone clad in amethyst gem windows and possibly filled with amethsyt crafts) either at the town center or the main gate. Plus a smaller statue of whatever our local symbol is... if feasible. If it's a wave or something like that, we could do something else instead like a reflecting pool with a mist generator.

I wonder if the site in question has amethyst as it will take forever to import them at four a time. They're also pricey so we couldn't just bring a bunch of them on embark either.

Well, What is the program that reveals All stone and calculates all the ore, gems etc.
I'll admit I don't want "Spoilers" too much, but someone could take a brief account of certain gems.

But I very much agree with you, having a giant Amethyst (or as close as we can get) statue in the town center will be awesome.
Wish we could get some better or larger screen shots of the area.

I wonder if Reudh's computers would be able to run a 16x16 embark JUST long enough to get a really REALL comprehensive screenshot before it melted :P

15. Nish and his remaining comrade trudge on alone. At one point, Nish spies a particularly majestic peak in the distance and makes a detour towards it. Nish Koltulon and Rogon Cavetrails are the first to ever reach the summit of the Plain Thorn, one of the highest peaks in the Bronze Towers. Days later, they reach a small swampy valley and cross it. Tragedy strikes when Rogon drowns during a standard river crossing. In an uncharacteristic moment, Nish chooses to honor his fallen comrade by carrying her corpse and items along with him.********
16. After several days of travelling alone, Nish arrives at Silverysects while muttering about how he is "gonna fly now" and is somewhat annoyed to find nothing there.********* Using campfires, he creates a funeral pyre for his honored comrade Rogon Cavetrails and decides to retire in the area just to see who else shows up.

If you embark on top of the Silverysects, you'll find something interesting right about here (near the the red circle on the local map):





I tried engraving a slab for Rogon, but sadly it's not possible.

Otherwise, it's quite boring spot to embark. Just like the rest of the map squares under Silverysects.

I hearby decree that upon that spot, we shall build a Temple to all those who died along the way to founding our great city.
The land does seem rather dull and boring.. I think it gives us all the more drive to make it as Dwarfy as possible.

You seem to be under the impression that we're playing some game other than dwarf fortress. It doesn't matter how powerful you make a creature, we will find a way to destroy it. God is dead, and Urist killed him.

He did. But companions abandoned in adventure mode have  like a 99% death rate afterwards.
Willing to be if oyu went into legends Rogon died to something silly.

Yeah, unless we a. use the caverns for wood or b. import wood or c. find magma I don't see that we are going to make much armour.

Well a lot of STEEL armor.
No coal and very little wood.
And most of that wood is goign to be needed for beds and stuff.

Of course this is where the roleplay aspect will come in... There is plenty of wood down in the caves, but for our Dwarves, the underworld is only a rumor, a myth. Few have gone down there...

Also...

TORR NOOOOO!!!
You gave it such a good try :( don't suppose oyu have an earlier "saved" version or something? Maybe retire in a town earl;ier back or something.
Hate to loose yet another.. the death toll Keeps rising!
