• Δ 15. Metalsmith's Building
  The heart of Minewealth's industrial prowess, dwarven smiths toil endlessly to refine the raw ore found deep within the earth, turning it into bars of precious metal that are dumped into bins and promptly forgotten. What, you think I'm going to use them to make trade goods? Pfft, those hippy elves don't know from quality.
  
  You'll notice that there's a thin channel of lava leading from the magma vent. Originally I had tried making the magma smelters and forges over the vent and along the channels to the east, but the local fire imps disagreed with my industrial development plan. Then I realized that, oh yeah, I can just dig a channel over this way and keep from getting fried. It worked out pretty well, I think. - OHakubi
• Δ 13. Eternal Flame
  There's a tanning workshop under all that smoke and a really, really strange story for why that is:
  
  Several months ago, somehow, after slaughtering an animal, one of the farmers caught fire and promptly burned to death, leaving a pile of burning animal matter (and a dwarf) in the middle of the butchery and a burning hide in the middle of the tanner's. Several months later, after the fires died out and everything was thoroughly cremated, I ordered another animal to be butchered... only to discover that, upon arrival at the tannery, the hide began burning. The dwarf responsible, now ON FREAKING FIRE, casually went back to his room and burned to death, taking several months to finally burn out. Same goes for the hide in the tannery.
  
  To this day, I have no idea as to what happened. - OHakubi
• Δ 13. The Catacombs
  Well, dwarves gotta end up somewhere.
  
  You'll notice the large circular room to the north; the gold and aluminum statues and glass coffin were added for the inevitable appearance of the king (or queen). The fact that their tomb was prepared well in advance but not their living quarters is, I hope, something they'll keep in mind should they decide to get uppity. - OHakubi
• Δ 12. The Prison
  Being socialist by nature, the dwarves of Minewealth have a natural distaste for the bourgeois, who are seen as clueless at best and a pain in the collective hairy dwarven rear at worst, what with the whole "making demands with no rhyme or reason behind them" thing. The only noble who is genuinely understanding of their plight is the Captain of the Guard - and with good reason, seeing as he was promoted to the position from hauler literally minutes before the Baron showed up.
  
  Despite the inherent unfairness of jailing random dwarves for being unable to make scimitars or crafts out of metals the fortress doesn't have, the law still needs to be upheld. Therefore, a twenty-cell prison was commissioned, with double-detailed rooms, gold chains and the finest beds available, with plans for private alcohol stockpiles, an internal waterfall system and mechanisms that play soft music being discussed. All of this done, of course, for the expressed purpose of spiting the nobles.
  
  The Captain of the Guard himself can be seen helping out in this shot, walking down the west hallway while carrying a bed behind him via telekinesis. - OHakubi
• Δ 12. The Zoo
  "Zoo" is sort of a misnomer, seeing as the thing consists of a crocodile, a donkey, a dog and two goblins. Doesn't stop people from throwing parties in it every other day, though.
  
  They're probably tormenting the goblins, now that I think about it. Good riddance. - OHakubi
• Δ 11. The Residential Block
  Six squares of sixteen 3 x 2 homes, designed in a fractal pattern and carved (mostly) from obsidian before being smoothed out and furnished with (mostly) obsidian goods.
  
  Nice place, provided you can pay your taxes. - OHakubi
• Δ 9. Church of Armok (in progress)
  This is basically the reason I started this fort: A two-story cathedral, complete with balcony, red gem windows, walls covered with engravings of dwarven heroes and legends, golden statues of the saints of Dwarvenkind, confessionals (to absolve dwarves of the Three Deadly Sins of Dwarvenkind: Temperance, sloth and acting like a tree-hugging hippy elf) and to the south, behind where the proposed altar will be, a statue of Armok, flanked by two angels anointing him in blood.
  
  The entire thing will be kept in order by the philosopher, who will reside in the smaller room to the east along with the fort's library, provided all those shelves I ordered from Ikea come in time.
  
  It's still a work in progress - a lot of the rubble needs to be cleared out still, and the floor needs to be re-tiled something fierce - but it's looking good thus far if I do say so myself. - OHakubi
• Δ Subterranean Strip Mine
  Technically this is down about six or seven more layers from the one above it, but I didn't feel like wasting time and space including them. You're not missing much, anyway, just a single up/down staircase.
  
  As the description says, there's a great deal of gold, silver and copper along with a few red and brown gemstones and a couple veins of cobaltite. The cobaltite was a good find, considering that everybody and their friggin' dog gets those pockets of orthoclase and microcline in their forts. - OHakubi
