Excellent stuff lore is brilliant 👌

this day will go down in history as the evolution of the dukonred1 channel as did the day barag broadaxe discovered vallorium and began the new age of peace and prosperity XDDD

Absolutely wonderful video. Brilliant dialogue, the storyteller lends real legend to the lore of the world! ❤

The Interesting things about Masons is: The Master Mason can do everything that has to be done his employes try to copie him and at the end of the day those Employees make there own Signiture or they carve there own symbols into the Stone what they been working on that they get payed. Daily.

I think a jewler, goldsmith or a clockmaker could be cool

You know why the dwarves view that dormant volcano as their home? Early on in the dawn of the dwarves, an asteroid of unique metal and stone crashed into the center of the mountain. The mountain erupted into what would be known as the Dor Novak (or Great Awakening). After ages of time and space, the volcano calmed, and then came the Dwarves. The early king of the dwarves wrote in the Histories, he felt the presence of their deity calling him and his people to a "Great Warmth". In his vigor, the King attempted to climb straight up however, the mountain would not permit it. The king instead decided to travel around the mountain, noting on the beauty and strange materials that glistened with the superheated water passing under in deep channels. After a week of ascending the mountain, the King and his people reached the top. The King would then write about a sign from the gods, that this spot was marked for the dawn of the Dwarves and their beginning as a true people of the world. The strange Asteroid in the center of the pool would be known as the Sigil of their Free-Will and Right to Survive. Comments can complete the Before and After. LOVE YOU DUKON!

Some lightwells or mirrors to draw some light into the underground areas could be a fun addition. I love that idea that for dwarves sunlight becomes a novelty and a commodity for the wealthiest because they’re dwarves - they don’t need sunlight they’re happy to live underground in the dark but the wealthy like having windows. Sunlight becomes an exotic novelty item like the pineapple did. Maybe there’s some upper classes that aren’t quite wealthy enough to live on the surface but still want some of that sweet, sweet sunlight underground.

Love the videos! Keep it up! I think it would be a cool idea to build the inn in a square or rectangular shape, with a center courtyard for gatherings or dining area for guests/patrons. It could be two or three stories with rooms surrounding the courtyard. I'm imagining a design like a motel where the walkway areas to each room are covered and outdoors. Across the courtyard could be string lights to light up the space. I'm pulling inspiration for this from the courtyard area of a hotel I stayed at in Strasbourg, France. The rooms over looked a courtyard with a long table for events/gatherings. The hotel is Hôtel Cour du Corbeau Strasbourg if you want to check it out.

Man, the angled foundations of the buildings look really nice! Could you maybe tell me how you did them please, is there a worldedit command for octagon cones? I tried to do them myself yesterday but i failed

this is incredible! elder scrollsy-vibes. love it!!

It could be cool to make that Inn a dwarven owned establishment, which caters to dwarven clientele in a massive underground basement and secret tavern (dwarves only). Also might be neat for the underground of your dwarven city if you were to make the “trees” look like Monterey cypress or bonsai trees, but rather than being actual leafy trees they could instead be mushrooms that just look like trees from an distance. The caps could form into the numerous disk shapes that the canopy of a Monterey cypress or bonsai has, and the stalks of the mushrooms could be hard and brown. Also maybe you could have extensive moss and lichen fields instead of grass. Perhaps you could make use of the many colors lichen comes in. Or maybe you could do algae pools, where they take on numerous colors under the water, like a rainbow or an oil slick. Or maybe you could mimic the coloration of the Yellowstone paint pots, with the hot springs providing some of the hot underground water.

Such an awesome series so far

This looks absolutely amazing!!! A tiny inconsistency I noticed - in the back side of the pillar on the left, in the main entrance gate that leads to the big doors that will eventually lead to the mine shafts, you’re missing the runes that exist on the rest of the sides :) I hope that makes sense! Thank you so much for sharing this project with us - it’s truly amazing.

How about a ventilation system that is mechanical and remotely controled? Sections could open and close with steam powered mechanisms navigating the pressurized air/smoke where it should go. The hot air might go underneath floors to heat them up and add an extra layer of luxury! Air pressure might also be utilized by the lower class, where a steam boiler would be too expensive, they could create kinetic power from turbines in the ventilation system. Finally, it allows for controlled smoke and air flow, which you can adjust to the wind or the weather, I'm sure there are more uses.

What a stunning build!

Epic video!

FREEMASON!!!!! 27:43

I think vents near the gates and base of the wall could act as a defensive measure. Maybe have a centralized vent station that can direct the fumes where it’s needed. Then above it could be a central vent stack that’s used when the defensive measures aren’t needed. Also with the city being steam powered, I think there should be a pipefitters guild whose job is to create the copper piping and fittings and then they do the inspections and maintenance of all the piping throughout the city. I would also recommend adding cutoffs to some of the main steam pipes in case of breakage. And also due to the prevalence of steam, there probably should be extensive burn wards or treatment centers. Further into the city, underground could be mushroom farms that the poorer citizens rely on. Could help show a difference in food quality

It's awesome that you make a dwarven build. They are my favorite fantasy race and sadly you don't see many minecraft builds themed around them. The architecture and color palette looks great, amazing build! Looking at that citadel ontop of the hill, brother, it looks as sturdy as it looks beautiful. Thank you and your fellow builders for doing that. May your beards never grow thin! Also honorable shoutout to the medieval city, looks really great as well. I may steal that bridge bulding between the towers for my own city

Hey dukon, this build just keeps getting better and better! If you keep this level of build up, this place is going to be unbelievable when it's finished!! One thought I had while watching this is that if there are so many masons, and so many pillars, statues, bricks etc being built, then it would make sense for the citadel to have a section that is still under construction, or have a large trading area to sell these creations, or both even! Or else it wouldn't quite make sense to have hundreds of pillars etc being built just for show in the workshop! Keep this build up, please! Loving it ❤

Great video Dukon, thanks for the shoutout!. It's been fun getting to build with you!

Amazing work! Would you consider uploading this somewhere so others can download the build when you are finished??

id like to see a messhall for all the workers. goodstuff! looking forward to the next episode! very inspirational

It would be cool if all the chimneys connected to a main pipeline and the gasses passed a turbine of some sorts for power

Wonderful video, as always! As far as chimneys are concerned If you can’t hide them or disperse them maybe accent them You could make them fanciful and function almost like public statues in town squares (except they’re fancy chimneys)

no wayyyy i tho he had given up on youtube?!

I love the small mechanical stuff you are doing here, what you can do for chimney is sort of like a sewage system, having one wind out put site that runs through the city and pushes air through the pipes and out a central smoke stack. I also love the idea of beryl bronze I think that is awesome. I know some want to move to steel but there are cooler and more thematic alternatives. Lets say Tal Valloran is built atop a beryl depot, which allows for better themal absorption ( I think) than other bronze types. There is also aluminum bronze, which is comparable to steel in a weapon sense due to it being more bendy than beryl, but has a great strength to it. Tin Bronze can be used for cogs, which it is well suited for with its hardness and strength. Beryl is strong and hard but to hard for any bendy applications. Another is Phosphor bronze, great for springy operations while still retaining the thermal and electro of regular copper. All I am saying is that stick with copper, and its forms. It is way more interesting than steel. These would play well with the idea of pipes and springs and gears that you seem to be going with, not magical, but more than reality. Alu- Bronze is also great for corrosion resistance, same with beryl. While phos bronze is great at fatigue resistance. So you have all these interesting points to pull from to create an industry that is very interesting. I would like to say that at 33:00, it is large enough, over the course of time, they would be able to build and construct such things. Dont think in terms of ohh it would take forever to construct such things, yes yes it would, infact they started on that tower when your city was a village, these are long thinking people, used to harsh living for long times in pursuit of long goals. I think its fine mate.

Been playing mc since day 1, took a break for like 5 years ago, sadly never really came back to it, but i do find joy to watch videos of it still haha

Loving the look of this project, my guys! Fantastic work. If you're struggling for Dwarven-aesthetic music, you can always check up on Simon Swerwer's stuff, he did a whole bunch of fan tracks (and even some of the official ones) for Dwarf Fortress, all the music on his channel is BY-NC-SA (tl;dr, you can use it so long as it's not commercially). I'm personally a fan of "Kobold March" and "Danger Room", but there's more relaxed stuff in that guy's collection too.

Fantastic as always Duk! I'd like to know your opinoions about utiliterian smokestacks for the surface. My pitches would be putting the piping more purpouse like: A very thick street lamp; -Mechanized clock that runs on the smoke current; -Noticeboards signs and ads for people around the settlement (or even like those cylindrical stalls that sell newspaper and things (just the shape tho, it can sell something different like quick runes or whatever); -If it's inconveniently in the middle of a townsquare, make it a huge grill heats by the hot smoke so some dwarf parties would have a historical dedicated area to celebrate outside, or creamate people for ceramony purposes. -Or run some of them through buildings like closed off chimneys. It clickedon me a bit late but you can make the stonecutter just 1 block higher and sink it under a pool for constant lubrication/less dustclouds. For the empty vertical spaces within the shop there always can be some pulleys/projects hanging around to just elevate the things or even store them up in the air, that way you'd still be able to use the cranes to move them around in ground level.

Fantastic video as always, I really love the idea of the copper alloy as a valuable resource. Thanks also for the showcase of Riverton. Onwards and upwards for Tal Valloran!

Instead of making less chimneys, you could use the chimneys as base structure for decorations like a pillar or a statue, like in Paris where they put fake facades for the underground vent system

Those goats are so cute haha.

I think it would be interesting to display class dynamics by having the ventilation for the boilers specifically in the lower class areas. Or even just the shared-boiler systems ventilate into these impoverished communities instead of being redirected elsewhere

Dukonred blessed us.

hell yeah! so excited for this one

Blessing

“But I don’t know, I was just thinking I would make a small series out of this” Me: where have I heard Dukon say that before By seriously man would love for you to make content again

I’m building this in survival for the first time wish me luck

I LOVE this interior style you created

Impressive! 😍

Really cool ideas for the interiors so far. Love the spacious high ceilings (especially for "dwarf standards"), it makes sense for the super artisanal, luxurious sort of vibe.

It’s good to see you again!

Another viddeeooo!! I think copper should be abundant in tal Valloran, but you could also add: Netherite, since its almost a volcanic product. Gunpowder to match the cool (steam) machines and defensive cannons could also be cool! Love the work, can't wait to see more :)

Looks Great Dukon. So good to see you back uploading. Cannons and trebuchets both sound good, although being Dwarves (and masters with stone) perhaps catapults too would fit?

so great to have you back man!

incredible level of detail!

I'm thinking the main ore should have something to do with the former volcanic activity here. Maybe that volcano was magic-infused, and ore they extract from it has magic-channeling capacities. The Dwarves could be mining the old lava neck in the ancient volcanic chimneys, with maybe the deepest tunnels going all the way to the magmatic chamber deep beneath the volcanic cone. Also that could give the waters from the geysers healing properties, and the city could be a thermal destination for pilgrims and travellers. I like the steam cannons. That feels Dwemmer-like, without pushing the SF side too far. But what do you mean exactly by that? Are those cannons that fire burning steam at the ennemies, or cannons that use steam power to shoot projectiles? It's cool either way (although the first kind might be limited in range).

Perhaps, given the volcanic nature of their home, the dwarves here are heavily invested in the acquisition and refinement of minerals? As mineral rich waters well from deep beneath the mountain the dwarves might divert the water into separation pools where the flow of the water will sort sediments by mass. From here the dwarves will have to resort to more cunning alchemy to harvest the remaining treasure that yet lurks within the stained water from the mountains heart. The waters can be reduced via evaporation into a semi-crystalline crust that can be powdered and then alchemically manipulated to separate out the many useful reagents that lurk within. For example, if an excerpt from a dwarven alchemists manual read as follows: experimentation has shown that Jogrunsons bitter-earth oil can be mixed, in proportions three to one, with an equal solution of brimstone and acids of oak-gall. Once thus incorporated, and laid to rest for at least a tenday, the resultant concoction may be treated with steady heating under the light of a new moon. Should the moon-tempering be successful, the solvent shall dissolve, and take into itself, all particles of a lunar alignment. Then the dwarves could use the solvent they discovered to separate anything "lunar aligned" from the waters. Then the solvent could be boiled off or otherwise removed via physical or alchemical means to leave you with a more refined product. If they have discovered enough alchemical techniques, they could be in the middle of something akin to a chemical/alchemical revolution. Dye, soap, lacquer, glue, fine colored glass, glass that has been clarified with arsenic so that it is actually crystal clear, blued and other forms of chemically... well alchemically treated or coated metal; all this and more can constitute the seemingly miraculous exports of the dwarves. This might also help further explain the religious reverence the dwarves have for the volcano. Edit: Scrawling through the comments i see that TraivenRed was also struck by the idea of alchemy dwarves. It is clearly such a compelling idea so as to have undergone convergent evolution!

Trustet Comunity Members this Island is familiar to me. Can it be that Viggomann built a few Citys on this Island or maybe Legendary Porpouise Also. Because it seems that way. Dukonred1!
