Irrefutable evidence that science is leading us to a brighter tomorrow!
In Gemclod, the Darwinian hypothesis is put to the test.

Diary of Orangesoda Kolvukrig:
This is why I would never be a soldier! Why, how bad are the conditions of the peasantry that they would put their lives on the line to entertain themselves with killing our enemies? While I can see the entertainment value in battles to the death, I would never wish to participate. After all, as a woman of such high status I am almost a sort of unofficial noble!
Why, if I had the chance, I would turn this hole in the dirt into something a dwarf could be proud of! To start, the dining hall would be re-designed to have entertainment with our meals.
The upper floor would have tables where we could sit and drink the finest plump helmet wine and feat on delicious syrup roasts. Below, a large pit where we toss in volunteers, troublemakers, enemies and vicious animals to battle. Oh how much more interesting it would be! To witness vicious combat from the dining hall without the risk of being run through by an uncouth, barbaric elf.
But not only would the pit entertain us. A stage upon which dramatic songs are sung and dramas acted would be on the upper floor. A theater, for those rare nights when we grow bored of watching elves be gutted by bears.
If you are unwilling to provide my manor, I at least suggest this arena! It could do wonders to culture and entertain the dwarves of Gemclod.
