Description
The fortress of KoganusΓ’n burns, without and within.All is smoke and fire.
I've been playing quite a lot of Dwarf Fortress recently, which is a perhaps surprisingly engaging game despite its quirks.
This particular picture is based on the now-legendary saga of Boatmurdered , a tale of equal parts tragedy and hilarity.

Amount of strewn smoking corpses is insufficient, slaughter more...

Impressive painting of Boatmurdered. I've finished reading the tale not too long ago, and this somber rendition of possibly the most (in)famous fortress in all of Dwarven history looks, well, somber.

"The dwarves of Khazad-dΓ»m dug too deep and awakened a daemon of darkness and fire. 'Tis not so with the dwarves of the Smooth Points of Pride. These creatures, having long abandoned any trace of sanity, did craft a much greater monster from the earth itself."
This picture is very epic, by the way! (yeah, I'm about 4 years slow, but...)

Yah I have to agree, nice quote. The Balrog has nothing on the legendary mismanagement and insanity that was Koganusan.

Awesome fucking quote.

When I did a search, this image popped up right next to this [link] image. Those 2 right next to each other creates both a striking contrast, yet are so similar that it seems like one has merely looked at the same scene in reverse. It perfectly sums up boatmurdered. Just something I thought I'd share.

"All burns..."
A moment of silence for those few, great Dwarves.

That is exactly how I imagined that. Great work, this should work as concept art for a massive 300 million $ movie production about Boatmurdered. Pure epic.
However didn't you forget about enormous gecko monument?

I don't know about a boatnurdered movie. People don't like tragedies anymore. This isn't ancient greece.

Everything burns. Even the Rocks burn. KoganusΓ’n is lost.

Boatmurdered. A legend for sure. And this is a βΌMasterpieceβΌ for sure.
A bit late but still...Great work!

A cautionary tale for all who would dare delve for the treasures of the earth. >:[

SMELLS LIKE DWARF FORTRESS.

This is beyond awesome. The decrepit road leading to the door of the cursed fortress, the charred hulks of elephants, burned to death by the Boatmurdered Final SolutionΒ© and the glowing pit of the entrance where so many dwarves met their doom...
That said, where's the little girl?

She's, uh, very small. And hidden by smoke. And inside the fortress.
<_<

But she is there.
By the way, this has been my wallpaper since I found it.

Ahh yes, the epic tale that was Boatmurdered

~majicxiii has engraved a masterpiece!
Wow. I've read Boatmurdered and seen the sketchy depiction of its fall, but to see it in colour... Words cannot describe the sheer amount of epic this image contains.
All burn...

It's amazing that all of this can come from a text based game.

Ah, I remember seeing this when I first started playing DF. Excellent work. ^_^

Oh, Dwarf Fortress. And Koganusan. You both rock my socks.
And this is a very good drawing, though I do miss the little dwarfgirl playing with the bones of the long dead.

All you're missing is the simple-minded girl playing amongst the bones of dead goblins, elephants and dwarves.

I loved Boatmurdered--easily the most epic LP I've ever seen.
This is a fitting tribute to those fallen heroes.

Oh, how I would love to see some art of Sankis the Mad Emperor...
It was a fitting beginning. It was a fitting end.

This is just so awesome, just like boatmurdered!

This picture does the doomed fort justice to be reckoned with.
Viva la Boatmurdered! (?)
