Datan the Crystalline Canyon, the Dwarven God, looked down from the cellestial plane in horror. The past year had been disastrous, he had been known as a force of good among his followers, now dwarves unanimously saw him as the cruel and unfair god of no-alcohol. Datan told himself that this hatred would be soon forgotten once he won this challenge and dwarves were proclaimed superior to the elven race. But he could not believe that the dwarves would forgive him that easily, also the outcome of the challenge was far from certain, and even winning the challenge may not be enough:
Alatha, the elven godess had realized quickly that her people would have great difficulty surviving below ground, and she had taken precautions, if she could not win the challenge directly she could prove the superiority of the elven race by other means, by wiping out the dwarven race completely in a war on a scale that the world had never seen. The elven tribe selected to build the underground fortress was to survive for as long as possible, meanwhile, all other elves gathered as many animals and natural allies as they could, and attacked. They had not only attacked Halltraded, but they had attacked everywhere, leaving the entire world in chaos, the autumn caravan had been just one of the many, many victims. Meanwhile, the position of the humans was uncertain, there were clear indications that the human deities had chosen the side of Alatha, wich would be a complete disaster.
Datan did not know how long the dwarven race could last against such an onslaught, or how much longer Halltraded could last without alcohol, all would depend on the mortals below, who were unaware of the role they were playing. Of one thing he was certain, this high priest named Thorvak, who pretended to be his representative in Halltraded, was a complete idiot. With him in charge Halltraded would not last much longer. Datan focused his Godly powers, and made sure that Thorvak would wake up the next morning with a horrible case of amnesia and very bad indigestion. The dwarves of Halltraded would be forced to elect a new leader.

http://mkv25.net/dfma/poi-25949-theelfanomalyNotes:
-The cathedral (above the entrance) is allmost finished, in fact orders for completion have been given.
-The upstream dam is finished, and the holes in the riverbed have been walled in. Both the holes that flooded the bunker and the hole feeding the well in the new fortress have been fitted with a floodgate, both can be opened/closed by a lever on the platforms above (these may not yet be linked to the floodgates, but orders have been given to complete this, should be done in a couple of days)
-Food producion has been completely shut down, but the amount of food we have should last a couple of years.
-FPS, at least for me is about the same as at the start of the year (20 to 25) even though a lot of extra junk has been cleaned up.
Edit:
Demonic spoon is currently busy, I've switched his place on the list with Canalan. I've send Canalan a PM.
