Today was a dark day for the dwarves of Steelwreath, capital of the civilisation of the Strifeful Banners. (bolded text are image links to screenshots of the game)
A great force of evil, a Forest Titan, came rampaging towards our fortress. An ancient being from beyond history that had killed many elves and countless animals living in elven forests. Now though, it had turned its attention towards dwarvenkind.
While the rest of the Steelwreath military equipped their gear, the two squads that had been training in the barracks immediately rushed out to drive the beast back. Alas, the bravest, those first out of the door and first to reach the titan, discovered the doom that awaited them as they became trapped in its webs while trying to strike at its solid amber body. Four dwarves fell before the titan could be overwhelmed by dwarven might. The moments of their deaths etched into the minds of all who witnessed them...
RIP Muthkat, Flickerspark's Doom.
RIP Rith.
RIP Onul. By this point, the titan had picked up Rith's bronze flask and was beating the other dwarves to death with it. Rough. ;-;
RIP Monom.
The first losses the Steelwreath military had experienced in the eighteen year history of the fort, including incursions by two dragons and hundreds upon hundreds of goblins, were felt by all. But, their sacrifice meant that their companions were able to strike back with deadly vengeance! And soon, one of them landed the final blow, earning himself the same glory that his fallen comrades had already known.
In the wake of the conflict though, rather than mourn, the forges and picks of Steelwreath set to work, creating tombs for their valiant dead. Thus ensuring that no matter how much time passes, their deeds will never be forgotten.
Here lie the Valiant Four of Steelwreath.
Muthkat Dumatthob Merrangusen, Flickerspark's Doom, Champion of Steelwreath.
Monom Amasmosus, Militia Captain, Goblin Siegebreaker.
Rith Bekariden, Swordmaster. Taken far too soon, but leaving behind an artefact that will be heralded by dwarven history through the ages.
Onul Mothdastkulet, Swordmaster. Another young prodigy, leaving an artefact that will forever carry the memory of his valour.

I'm occupied with other stuff at the moment, but definitely thinking of looking into that and figuring out how it works, seeing if it could be adapted to fit another game.
I’m sure they were fine dwarves.
