Fortress Activity

The aptly named Zarethgeshud, or Desert Fortress, is situated deep in the desert, with no vegetation of any sort nor any bodies of water. This outpost was founded by 7 dwarves whose only real skills were in archery. Clearly life in the mountain homes was not exciting enough for these intrepid survivalists. Within a season farms had been established and hunting had proven a good source of meat, as strange Giant creatures and creature men seemed to enjoy the desert. The only problem that has so far faced Zarethgeshud is the lack of wood, preventing brewing any more than a certain amount of alcohol or storing food efficiently. Nonetheless 8 migrants had arrived by Mid-Summer and progress looks like it will be steady.
