Dwarf Fortress Tales: portraits and biographies
« on: April 10, 2019, 03:44:24 am »

Previously posted in the DWARF FORTRESS! group on Facebook.

My fortress Ikalral, Healedsilvers, ended in disaster as they so often do. Looking through Legends mode afterwards, I was inspired to write up biographies for some of the notable individuals involved.
All the characters and events herein are generated by DF; I have merely embroidered them with clichéd phrases and some conjecture on the dwarves' thoughts and feelings.

First, a bit of context:

Mm, you draw a fine dwarf... and tell a chilling tale. Zombie forgotten beasts. Hol-ee cow.  :o

This thread should probably be moved to the "Community Games and Stories" subforum. It fits better there, and will receive more attention.

You surely draw well, sir! I love the legends records of character biographies. Once I had a frog man hydromancer who came long way from a kidnapped child to lord of goblin faction. Looking forward to next one.  :)
