Gostzas

Gostzas (Archcrystal) is a dwarf fortress established by Dibeshrisen of Bekarlokum on Granite 15, 72 in Rabab Otsta.

It is most known for its successful attempt to bridge the overworld to hell, not only with a measly stone-carved stairwell, but through an immense clear glass tower through which light from above was channeled to light the lowest depths of the world itself.

It is secondly known for its strict eugenics program, in which only two dwarves were allowed to give the fortress descendants: Bomrek Arbanrigoth and Cerol Ilraltirist. The reason for their choosing is lost to history, as they weren't even in the original 7 settlers, but in the third wave of migrants of Limestone 27, 72. This left good loyal dwarves who wanted to establish a family lacking, dying of old age without heirs. This policy also blocked the acceptance of any new arrivals between 205 and 367. However, recently unearthed historical documents written directly by the overseer claim that this was as a direct consequence of the other commers had no interest in procreating despite the overseer's struggle to convince them otherwise.

It is also known for its cave dragon program started by the Mother of Dragons Okathel, and its lesser known hydra one.

The fortress has been confirmed to have survived for over half a millennium in the year 571.
