Issue #1: Beginnings

The Outpost, by the grace of the Nation and Lord Voman Southeart has begun! May the Travelling God bless all our endeavours.

But this beginning means a different thing to every dwarf, and to that end we decided to interview the bold heroes who have come to form this Outpost.

Our first question: "What made you come here?"

Sigmarr Thovura: "I was touring the lands with fellow devotees to the gods, chronicling the Building God's wonders, when a friend contacted me and spoke of a new land. Being that no Bormar had been there before, I felt compelled to bring the reverence of the gods here too!"

Kadol was drinking in broad daylight when we spoke with him, but he was sober enough to answer: "Why, the jewels of course! Imagine how rich these will make me!", he said, holding a few to see.

Kyln, the Smith: "I joined to make a name for myself, and this seemed like a good way to do it." We here at The Public Servant wish Kyln the Travelling God's own speed in the attainment of that goal!

Datan Idokab, a might warrior, had a particularly riveting answer: "To seek riches... and to avenge my slain brother Urist, fallen to a troll. And of these, the latter I have succeeded in already." Upon our astonished question, Datan informed us that he had accomplished this doughty deed - alone! Truly, the Outpost is a safe place indeed if it has warriors such as this protecting us.

Our second question was: "If you had to pick ONE thing, what would you hope to see in the Outpost's future?"

Sigmarr the godly dwarf had a simple answer: "Community." May we all attain to such noble sentiments!

Kadol: "Why, I want to find the All-Gem for myself, of course!"

Kyln: "I wish to see craftsdwarves, stout defenders clad in metal, a prosperous people, a great and glorious town."

Datan: "A thriving economy!"

Such is life in The Outpost. May we all strive to be worthy of the trust of the First House, Good Lord Voman, and All Bormar.

But through whatever trials we may face, you the reader can rest in the surety of the knowledge that The Public Servant will keep the dwarves of this great colony safe, entertained, and above all, informed.
