Ushul Num, The Realms of Wind
There's something wrong here: only two dwarven civilizations, and a huge expanse of haunted mountains stretching from the south pole northwestward, almost to the equator. The equatorial dwarves are hemmed in: to the south is a sea and generally inhospitable habitats; to the east a mountain range densely infested with goblins. The southeastern dwarves have great expansion prospects northwards, however, and the southern end of the next mountain range up has some impressive cliffs and chasms.

Interesting Site
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| (7,3) where Highamazed enters the Grimgorged | two streams enter major river over extreme cliffs - river gorge is 13 layers deep. Doesn't have the aquifer problems of the upper Grimgorged (which barring those would have plenty of nice sites, including a vent next to river next to haunted lake). sandboxy site: joyous forest, untamed grasslands (?). named fish everywhere, but they're not supposed to be so nasty after 33b, right? large "sunken garden" open to the air 5 layers down between the two streams, full of magnetite deposits, with a small rock pillar upwards in the middle - lots of fun to carve away the 1-square wide access, put bridges there, and have that be the stairwell for your fortress. 8x8 area is way too slow, though; with a 4x4 can only choose 1 waterfall or the other, or just the sinkhole with no waterfalls. Nice small waterfall 1s ne fits in 4x4, but only 2 high. |
