Weatherwires - Upper Fort - 184 Early Spring by fidelcowstro

Map Description:

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.

Point of Interest: Sealed Passage

Though it is currently inundated with magma, and there are alternate routes into the deep, there will come a time where this staircase will be the only way into and out of the second fortress, where the dwarves currently reside. Ideally, magma will be pumped out of the top of the caldera, revealing the bridge that connects the stairwell and the volcano's southern rim. Once the visitor has passed the bridge, a pressure plate will automatically let the magma flow back into place, sealing the passage once more. Currently, it is inoperable - magma floods up the passage and fills it (look near the bottom of the map). - fidelcowstro
