*** April Challenge - Using Dwarf Fortress ASCII Maps as a Source ***

[Kekenkenka]

Greetings, Cartographers! From The Destined Planes, I bring you Cadeniathira (The Land of Eyes).

For those of you new to Dwarf Fortress, this is the kind of name that it procedurally generates.

Anyway, here's the map(s):

 

The top level overview:


Civilization hotspots and trade:


Relative evil:


Biomes:

Let's talk symbols. I will refer you to the wiki page, but here's the important ones for your first perusal.

• The upper-case pi's are Goblin Fortresses, spilling forth the foul bowmen and master lashers who killed both my forts in this plane. Usually it's the forgotten beasts, but those don't show on a map.
• The omegas are the Mountainhomes of the Dwarves

Dwarf Fortress generates and stores mind-boggling amounts of data. I don't know how much detail you guys want to go into, but it's certainly there. On request, I can provide:

• More maps, including temperature, rainfall, civilization claims, "evil", "wildness" and more of regions.
• A detailed world history of wars and megabeast deaths.
• The story of two specific Dwarf Fortresses, both of which fell to seige, and one that is still ongoing.

Enjoy! This seems like cool work you gentlemen are engaged in.
