In the early spring of 126, the Diamond Cloisters of the Merchant of Echoing founded Weatherwires, the first dwarven settlement to be inhabited since the beginning of time. The last queen of the Merchant of Echoing was struck down by an ettin in 18, and no leader rose to replace her. For more than a century, the dwarves had remained hidden in the mountains, until seven survivors emerged from the peaks and came to the Fire of Channels, a great volcano, and founded this fortress.
Now, the year is 184, and the dwarves' numbers have dwindled to 94. They have almost entirely retreated to a series of caverns dug out deep beneath the surface, but during Weatherwires' first few decades, it was here, in the caldera of the Fire of Channels, where they crafted the first fortress.
The only way into the fortress from the surface is via a long bridge constructed of obsidian blocks. The expansive fields below the mountain is haunted - groups of zombie dire badgers are fairly common. Five rows of weapon traps, and a cluster of cage traps prevent any but the most determined enemies from entering the fort. A circular courtyard houses the last few trees on the map - most other vegetation on the map is dead or dying. - fidelcowstro
