⚒️ Duty & Dwarves ⚒️

A Fantasy Border Control Simulation

🏰 Welcome to Khazad-dûm Immigration Control

You are the newest border guard at the ancient dwarf fortress of Khazad-dûm. Every day, dozens of travelers attempt to enter the underground kingdom, but not all of them have honest intentions. Armed with nothing but your wits, a mysterious dwarf-to-English dictionary, and 5 minutes per shift, you must decide who gets in and who doesn't.

One wrong decision could doom the entire fortress.

📖 The Story

The dwarf kingdom has been infiltrated by spies, smugglers, and worse. Ancient enemies seek to bring weapons and cursed artifacts past the gates. As the last line of defense, you must:

• Inspect each traveler's belongings
• Translate cryptic dwarf language item names
• Make split-second approve/deny decisions
• Survive on your meager guard's salary
• Protect the realm from hidden threats

But beware - turn away too many innocent dwarfs and their clans will remember. Let in the wrong dwarf with a hidden weapon, and the fortress may burn.

🎮 How to Play

Your Daily Shift

Each day, you have 5 minutes to process as many travelers as possible. Every correct decision earns you gold, while mistakes cost you dearly.

The Challenge: Language Barrier

Items are listed in ancient dwarf language. You must:

• 🔍 Examine each item name (e.g., "gabil-dum", "khazad-celeb")
• 📚 Use the translation dictionary to learn meanings
• 📝 Take notes to remember patterns and discoveries
• 🧠 Build your vocabulary through trial and error

Making Decisions

• ✅ GRANT ENTRY - Let the dwarf into the fortress
• ❌ DENY ENTRY - Turn them away at the gates
• 🗑️ NEGOTIATE - Ask suspicious dwarfs to surrender specific items

Master the Language

• "khazad" words are usually safe (dwarf-made items)
• "anguz" often indicates weapons (danger!)
• "morgul" or "nazgul"** = evil items (immediate denial)
• Observe patterns and build your expertise

1. Start by learning common words - bread, ale, pickaxe are usually safe
2. Watch for weapon patterns - anything with "dum" or "anguz" is suspicious
3. Take detailed notes - successful guards are organized guards
4. Don't rush early on - accuracy matters more than speed initially
5. Use the pause button - study complex cases carefully
6. Remember clan relationships - repeated harsh treatment has consequences
7. Emergency rules override everything - listen for security alerts
