Life just got interesting. Stories in the POIs.
And then the elvish traders came, and some migrants. The elves didn't bring as much timber as we'd have liked, but we gave them some rock crafts and took what we could.
The migrants were many. Tun ran out to examine them. He seemed annoyed by the negotiation with the elves, and quickly picked out a trader among them. He happily handed over trading responsibilities, and the trader suddenly took a queer look, and ran for the crafters' workshop. We held our breaths as he gathered up a few bits of hematite, and then started screaming "Bars! Bars!"
I blame the elves for bringing this on. Surely some manner of elvish bug. Shavin' elves...
We panicked, Tun and Crossfoutains grabbed picks and quickly dug out some rooms for making charcoal and smelting metals, and thankfully we had some iron in time. Our fortress now has its first scepter, appropriately made of hematite, studded with iron. It is labelled "Bleedtrussed the Grand Syrups." I may have to claim it someday. Even now I can see it it there in the stockpile, whispering my name... - Tharis

Looking good! What plans do you have for this one?
Submitted by: Tharis - 2014-08-15 to 75 Early Summer
I'm thinking of a big dome. And some towers. And some first person narratives.

I fooled you! I fooled you! I got pig iron, I got all pig iron!

Huh?
Oh, you mean "pig iron" instead of "iron." Ha ha.
