− | + | The Department of Dwarven Veteran's Affairs (also known as the Fortress/Royal Guard), is an organisation dedicated to helping those brave dwarves that have become injured to the point of combat ineffectiveness, and are also relatively unskilled (so putting them into the [[Craftsdwarf's Workshop]] to make +goblin one bolts+ until the end of time is out of the question). They are usually <s>promoted</s> relieved of their military duties due to [[Baron|Some snooty noble]] turning up and wanting to be all protected (until, of course, said noble makes one-too-many demands and find themselves in the dwarven departure lounge). | |

− | + | These dwarves who have sustained their injuries in whatever way (through physical combat, goblin snipers, [[Elves|Hippies]], sparring matches, [[Carp|The watery menace]] or otherwise), may be promoted through the military menu. The fortress guard itself doesn't do much, apart from telling the various nobles that he is not in danger of [[Goblin_Child_Snatcher|assassination]], assisting the [[Sheriff]] (now [[Captain Of The Guard]]) in [[Justice|intoxicating sober dwarves]] and spending all their spare time [[Sparring]]. The sparring can be a problem, in that some dwarves may recieve a speedy recovery (you know the ones), but has trained himself up to an elite level - which prohibits his removal from the payrolls of DDVA. Thus active dwarves that can spend their time better [[Hauling|Pulling levers]], are now only assisting with some engraver who is too busy smashing something other than a [[bridge]] over a [[Chasm]]. | |
