Unreasonable Demand

Pop. 181, Late Autumn of 365 (Year 114)

Mosus II Lanterngaze-Anguishedpages, once universally popular, has fallen out of favor due to her recent greed. When her demands for a GOLD BED were ignored, she had Datan Goodhatchet-Dippedtowers and Asmel Channeltree beaten by the Hammerer, Stakud II Roughwhips-Lanterngaze. Datan and Asmel both perished as a result of their sentence. With the deaths of a highly regarded military captain and a member of the prominent Channeltree family, King Urist II stepped in. While Mosus II was allowed to keep her position due to her otherwise stellar record, the position of Hammerer was removed.




Leadership of Datan's squad, the Trade Watch, passed to the hammerwidow's young lieutenant, the macedwarf Besmar Graniteright.

Lift Those Legs!

Pop. 163, Midwinter of 346 (Year 95)

Datan Dippedtowers, the dragonslayer who ushered in the Second Age of Legends, suffered a serious spinal cord injury 68 years ago. Since that time, she has been unable to walk at all, unlike the few crutch-users in the fortress. Rather than retire her completely, she was given command of the recruit squad. Despite the inability to walk, her ability to impart useful information through demonstrations has been renowned. According to the newest recruits, she has even improvised KICKING demonstrations!

The Second Age of Legends

Pop. 112, Late Winter of 277 (Year 26)

The Dragon Mistrum Ebbakrulu Kara Ves has come! A gigantic reptilian creature. It is magical and can breath fire. These monsters can live for thousands of years.

The alert was sounded and the army was ordered back to the inner keep... but Datan Dippedtowers had been lazing about and didn't respond in time.



With the death of Mistrum Brandedsweltered the Heat of Gems, the world passed from the Second Age of Myth to the Second Age of Legends (my first time getting an in-game changes of Ages)!
