== The Tales of Ushilsebshos, "Icemire" ==

''This is the tale of my recent Dwarven Fortress, if you have comments, or you like it, post on my discussion page! I shall edit it regularly, for now.''

'''This is from the diaries of Zefon Muthkatbik, Expedition Leader of the Deepvale Group'''<br />

When we emerged from the howling blizzard, I admit I had second doubts about our chosen location. The mountain was steep, and all was blanketed in snow.
 
−
Still, we had not travelled through the harsh winter to turn back now, so we stopped the wagon almost at the top of the mountain. I sent a scout to look around and we found a large lake on the summit and a smaller lake eastward. We were hungry, so I ordered my miners to dig a room near the smaller lake and then to break the wall.  The water flooded in and the farmers planted seeds. Experienced as I am, I know that a dwarven fortress runs on food and ale, and with the native plants snowed under, I required dwarven plants to grow, and grow quickly.

Next came the stockpiles, for what little wood my cutters could chop and a stone pile. The miners tunnelled into the mountain, to keep the dwarves warm in this inhospitable climate. To my delight, we found coal and an onyx cluster.

My scouts find a river, frozen for now, but useful. Near it, my miners spot a patch of platinum -- we hurry to excavated it; it may be useful for trade in Autumn.

Just when all seems to be moving well, I find that we failed to pack a crossbow! We cannot hunt, and with limited supplies of wood on this mountainside, I order my dwarves to dig a stockpile for what little food we have. Then they dig a room for the kitchen and butcher's shop.  Following that, I begin to construct a forging area, where we discover more coal.

Success! The forges are built, as is a craft workshop. My dwarves start producing coal, metal, bolts and a crossbow.

== Summer Year 1 ==
 
−
The season has turned and the fortress is slowly turning around. By using only one log, we are now producing much coal, facilitating production of metal goods. I stagger the work orders as such: smelt/make coke/smelt/make coke. That way, we have a consistant supply of fuel.

−
We build doors from stone to secure the entrances to our stockpiles and to the fort itself. The wagon is dismantled.
 
−
We receive welcome rain, and begin crafting chairs for my sore-legged dwarves. I find myself pitching in often, as we simply do not have enough dwarves for all the jobs that need doing.
 
−
Our prayers are answered! Migrants from the homelands come to stay with us.
 
−
We craft a meeting hall for the dwarves to congregate.
