Despite representing only about 13% of the population, certain dwarves are responsible for the vast majority of the crime. These crimes will no longer go unanswered. For the moment, one Iton and one "pissbaby alert" have been selected and summarily convicted. I will save a few other unsolved crimes for deserving inmates of this filthy asylum for the perversion of dwarfhood this place has become, so vile that not even elves would tolerate it.
Criminality and degeneracy is not the only problem. Minds rotted by the degeneracy all around them, some dwarves have succumbed to madness as well.
Many, many dwarves are too far gone to save.

Only the magma can cure their souls. These unfortunate souls are beyond redemption.
One can only call this a state of open treason. I would personally have incinerated this place in a holocaust, but the king has said it has to be restored to discipline. Well, the omelet the king wants will require some eggs to be broken. Perhaps rather a lot of eggs.
I note there is no hammerer, although there are many skulls to be hammered.
On a good note, our hammerdwarves are relatively happy and untouched by the degeneracy all around them.

Chumbus appears to be a bit under the weather from the depravity. Perhaps a spell as hammerer, delivering justice to the wicked and to traitors, will fill his heart with gladness.
This is a fortress in need of a solution. A final solution.
