Welcome to the Vault
In the year 299, the King of the Magical Crypts ordered for the construction of a sealed Vault.
His claim was that in doing so, no matter what befell the Dwarven Kingdoms and peoples, dwarves would always live on.
So, in the early Spring of the year 300, 7 dwarves were sent out to begin construction of their King's dream.
They were given 5 years to build the vault and seal themselves off from the outside world for all eternity.
So begins the story of Stonelock: The Fiery Vault

Journal of Ryukan, 14th of Granite 300
His majesty, in all of his splendor and wisdom, has seen it fit to build a vault to safeguard the dwarven race against the ravages of this world. I, being the most experienced (and also not being married or having any real ties that would get in the way) was chosen to lead 6 other dwarves and begin construction. We are far enough away that Goblins will not be an issue, but we must keep on guard for other nasties.
On the slopes of a volcano is where our Lake of Magma will be, we will use the natural magma of the volcano to fill up the basin where the fort will be.

With our royal budget, we managed to procur enough supplies to where we can mainly focus on digging for the time being.

We also procured a few animals to keep up with a balanced diet. I chose chickens because they needn't eat anything and would make the perfect livestock for the Vault. Cats and Dogs help with moral and cats keep the pests down.

The 7 of us constitute the scouting party, we will recieve more Dwarves over the years to help with our efforts. We have 2 miners, a Carpenter, a Mason, 2 Farmers, and me the Leader.

After many days of travelling, we arrived at our volcano. It rises far into the sky and promises a great place for a secret Dwarf Society. Tho I hear Grizzly Bears might be a problem for us early on...
