![]() ![]() He also never stooped to fulfilling his hauling duties. He was not well liked by other Twinklesorrowers, and kept mostly to himself. Even when a proper barracks were build for him, he almost never descended there, preferring instead to wander among the trees. Unlike his brethren, he didn’t care much for going underground. It was therefore hoped, that in time Urist, with excercise, will become better at fighting, and maybe with next migrant waves his militia will receive more members. It has to be said that it was not planned to fight any siege or ambush for next several seasons, relying instead on drawbridge and living in autarky until any invaders left. Urist dutifully picked up a rusty copper hammer, almost the only weapon available in Twinklesorrow, and put on a dented pot on his head. It was therefore decided to draft him into military, apart from asigning him important, though not very glamorous, duty of hauling. One last clerk had absolutely no useful skills whatsoever, and even at his primary profession he was not particularly good. Not having any jobs in line with their qualifications, (library construction was postponed to fulfill more pressing needs) Twinklesorrow employed them according to their secodary skills as farmers, miners and builders. Second wave of migrants brought even more of these overeducated dwarves, as if Mountainhome suffered some kind of banking crisis and a lot of white-collars were fired. First wave also brought quite a lot administrators, traders and other white-collar dwarves, and positions of manager, bookkeeper and trader were manned by highly qualified personnel. Luckily for the fortress, most important professions were amply represented among migrants, and soon blacksmiths, miners, craftmasters and others employed their skills at their various vocations. After the first wave there were over twenty citizens at Twinklesorrow. Within a short time prosperity of this new settlement attracted migrants from overpopulated Mountainhome. Plump helmet wine, although not very sophisticated, soon flew to satisfy most important needs of the dwarves. Underground farms sprang up from mud, foundries, smelters and workshops quickly followed. Behind its thick, safe rock a cozy and efficient establishment quickly developed, thanks to hard work and ingenuity of seven founding dwarves. Nearby Wizard Tower and goblins lurking in the woods necessitated quick organization of defences, and soon a large drawbridge (doubling as a wall when raised) was constructed. The toy has also gained a cult following for the phrases "Let's learn letters!", which has had major quotability overtime.Works on new dwarven fortress were going fast.
