The Fortress of Treatyflames was founed in the year 206 by an expedition of seven dwarves from Becorrovod known as the Twinkling Spears. I myself arrived with several other migrants during the month of Slate, 207. Since then, my experience here can best be described as a nightmare. |
Between Granite and Hematite of the year 208, goblin raiding parties attacked repeatedly and mercilessly, reducing our numbers by almost half before we drove them off. Soon after, we ran out of food, and have been attempting to survive through a crippling famine these past three months. Most starved to death, including our leader, Onul Othosshem. Without him, everything collapsed. We ran out of coffins, so were forced to pile our dead outside the fortress. Even the arrival of ten new migrants did little to lift our spirits, and soon they too were feeling as miserable and hopeless as the rest of us. | Between Granite and Hematite of the year 208, goblin raiding parties attacked repeatedly and mercilessly, reducing our numbers by almost half before we drove them off.

Thus did the last of the Twinkling Spears die: a murderous psychopath who slaughtered his own kin. As tragic as it is, we all knew it was the only way this would end. There are now only nine of us left: three migrants, myself, and the five other stout dwarves who survived the famine. |

I think our troubles may finally be over. With just the two bins of goblin armor that we scavenged, I was able to trade for food, ale, weapons, picks, and even some metal bars. I also gave the traders Onul Othosshem's journal to take back to Becorrovod; they will need to know back in the mountainhome what has transpired here. | I think our troubles may finally be over.
