"Godenegast - The Adventures of a Dwarven Colony", is a new Dwarf Fortress story that revolves around the events of the fortress Godenegast.
Having seen many inspiring tales of other fortresses, I decided that I would try my hand at my own fortress story.
Hopefully I can keep it to a regular amount of updates (Anything from per week to 3-4 times a week), and keep the story of Godenegast going until the end.

Here is a preview of the first story, "Felsite 82: Fish and Elves"
It is a rainy spring here in Godenegast, with the fisher-dwarves becoming ever more reluctant to journey out for fish at the hazard of getting wet.
"At least it’s not sunny!", the other dwarves would say, yet the fisher-dwarves still grunted and shrugged the responsibility off. Yet, many suspected the real reason behind the fisher-dwarves’ lack of ventures to be the annual elven caravans.
The elves did not always see eye to eye with the dwarves of Godenegast, with the industry needs of the fortress increasing constantly, the elves took a negative outlook on the constant deforestation and crafting with wood. The elves would hold a dwarf in conversation for hours just so they would be able to express their oh-so-deep concerns to the poor little bearded ones who could not return to their rooms fast enough.
Godenegast was not a fortress of visual might. The entrance was simply built into a small mountain side, with large bridges within a dwarf-made cavern allowing for a fast-acting front defense. The land around the entrance remained virtually untouched, save for the lack of trees. The dwarves often hoped it would stop the elven caravans from finding them, but the traders always knew where to look.
