You have 5 Beardling dice which can be used on any task in the hold. You have 2 Warsmith, Brewer, Farmer, Miner and Stonemason Dice. The Warrior Clan dice are inside of the Throng Duties options.
Multiples of the same task can be undertaken at once if you want to split work between multiple clan housing, or multiple types of storehouse etc.
You have 7 unused Excavation Dice from last turn.
New options have been highlighted in yellow to make them easier to see.
Beyond the Passes
The immediate area is secure enough that endeavours that need more space than can be provided within the protection of the Surface Hold and cannot be performed within the Karak may be undertaken beyond the Passes. A Minor Hold with an outpost is not unheard of but if you are far enough from a Major Hold you might be on the way to becoming the King of an Ankor.
[] Gather a Goat Herd 0/150
-[] +Fortified, +50 to target, +5 Wood per dice
(Farmers can work this task. 5 Wood per Die. Excavation dice this turn, or last turn cancel the cost of 1 Construction dice.)
Send some Ironploughs down into the woods to the west to wrangle some Goats and bring them up to form a herd on a plateau further along the range. The herd will not be within the Surface Hold itself, but only the hardiest of Farmers become Herders.
[] Collapse the Minor Tunnels 33/50
If the Hargrobi nest is ever to be used for good honest Dawi purposes then it cannot be ridden with holes. Collapse the Minor Tunnels.
(Miners can work this task. You can specify tunnels to keep open.)
[] Carve a Road 11/50
A road connecting Karak Drekfut to the North Tunnel of the Hargrobi Nest will allow for safe travel between the two and for easier building work should it be decided that the Nest shall be colonised.
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target, +1 Wood per dice
(All Clan can work on this task.)
The Surface Hold
A valley in the dip between four mountain peaks with a pass out on each of the four cardinal directions is the current home of your host. The valley is filled with wagons of supplies and tents for the Dawi to sleep in. While most of your hold will one day be below ground, there will always be a need for some presence on the surface.
[] Establish Farms 0/100
(Farmers, Brewers and Miners can work on this task, costs 10 Crop per dice.)
Designate part of the valley for farms and set to work turning mountain soil into a source of food for the hold.
[] Build a Storehouse 0/50
-[] +Huge, +50 to target, +5 Wood per dice
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target, +3 Wood per dice
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target, +1 Wood per dice
(Specify resource to store here. All Clans can work on this task. Costs 5 Wood per dice. Excavation dice this turn, or last turn cancel the cost of 1 Construction dice.)
A storehouse is needed to store more resources for the hold and to protect resources from the elements.
[] Build Housing 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target, +5 Wood per dice
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target, +3 Wood per dice
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target, +1 Wood per dice
(Specify a Group of the Hold to assign the housing to. All Clans can work on this task. Costs 10 Wood per dice. Excavation dice this turn, or last turn cancel the cost of 1 Construction dice.)
The Clans are living in tents and though a Dawi can sleep just about anywhere, they'd much rather be sleeping in beds. Build somewhere for a Clan to stay.
[] Add to the Fortifications 0/0
-[] +A Second Wall, +50 to target
-[] ++A Third Wall, +50 to target
-[] +Towers Set Above into the Peaks, +40 to target
-[] +Extra Tall, +20 to target per Wall
-[] +Extra Thick, +20 to target per Wall
-[] +A Carven Path, +20 to target
(Specify which of the Passes to fortify. All Clans can work on this task. Dice can only be assigned equal to the total of this turn and last turn's Excavation Dice.)
Fortify the entrance into the valley from one of the Passes.
[] Amend an existing, completed structure. 0/60
-[] +Expansion
-[] +Fortification
-[] +Decoration
(Any Clan can take this task. Costs 5 Wood per dice. Excavation dice this turn, or last turn cancel the cost of 1 Construction dice. Specify which structure and 1 amendment to be made to it.)
The Hold
The Hold is the main part of a Dawi settlement. Here is where the bulk of the Karak can be found and where most Dawi will spend the majority of their time. It will need to be carved from the mountains over time, but all that stone can be put to other uses. Eventually the Hold will claim all four peaks (north-east, north-west, south-east and south-west) and the joining ground under the valley before steadily expanding downwards.
[] Excavate an Entrance Hall into one of the Peaks. 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
(Specify which Peak to carve an Entrance Hall into. Miner, Stonemason and Warsmith Clans can take this task.)
There are three Peaks left in the Valley. Eventually Karak Drekfut will consume all of them and they will be connected through the ground under the Valley floor but for now an Entrance Hall into each one could be made to allow access into those Peaks.
[] Excavate an Entrance Hall under the centre of the valley. 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
(Miner, Stonemason and Warsmith Clans can take this task.)
Eventually Karak Drekfut will make use of all of the ground under the Valley, but rather than accessing it through one of the Peaks you could excavate an Entrance Hall under the centre of the Valley.
The Hold
An Entrance Hall has been excavated from North Peak and the Karak can now form around it. Routes up into the Peak and down under the Valley will allow for significant expansion and there is currently space for an additional 3 Halls to be carved from North Peak and 10 Hall under the Valley. Specify which Hold Area to build new Halls in.
[] Armoury 0/50
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as an Armoury. Most members of the Throng will keep their arms and armour with them in Clan Residences but if the Hold is ever assaulted ordinary Clandawi will need somewhere to equip themselves.
(Miner, Stonemason and Warsmith Clans can take this Task.)
[] Barracks. 0/120
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Barracks. Much of the Reclamation Throng did not come from one of the Clans sent to settle Karag Langkhirn and will not be able to claim a Clan Residence but the Barracks will satisfy them all.
(Miner, Stonemason and Warsmith Clans can take this Task.)
[] Brewer Hall. 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
The mountain is a big place and given time you might decide you need more than one Brewer Hall.
(Miner, Stonemason and Brewer Clans can take this Task.)
[] Clan Residences. 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
-[] +Clan Tomb, +30 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as Clan Residences. The Clans have been living in tents on the surface, no true Dawi can sleep easy above ground. Except of course some of the older Rangers, there's a madness amongst that folk.
(Any Clan can take this Task. Choose a Clan to assign the Residences to.)
[] Forge Hall. 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Forge Hall. Your own Clan Greatmantle is made of skilled smiths, and they will need a Forge Hall to ply their trade. Here Ingots can be turned into equipment and damaged equipment can be repaired.
(Miner, Stonemason and Warsmith Clans can take this Task.)
[] Hall of Remembrance. 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Hall of Remembrance. Here the Clan Lorekeepers from across the Hold can gather to keep records of the actions of the Hold and carefully guard the secrets of the Dawi. For all tasks that cannot be fulfilled by a present Clan, the Lorekeepers are your best chance of teaching Beardlings to take on those duties.
(All Clans can take this Task.)
[] Healing Hall. 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Healing Hall. Here the Matrons and trained Healers can attend to the sick and injured.
(All Clans can take this Task.)
[] Milling Hall. 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Milling Hall. This will allow for Crop to be stretched much further with the Dawi eating bread rather than just raw grain. Clan Ironplough will certainly appreciate somewhere to work in the shade of the mountain.
(Miner, Stonemason, Brewer and Farmer Clans can take this Task.)
[] Shrine Hall. 0/120
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Shrine Hall. Towering Statues of the Ancestor Gods shall be carved from the walls and their alcoves shall describe the greatest deeds of their truly great lives. Smaller shrines at the far end of the Shrine Hall will allow Clans to pay heed to their own Clan Ancestors.
(All Clans can take this Task.)
[] Smelting Hall. 0/120
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Smelting Hall. Ore drawn up from the mines is not immediately useful, in most circumstances, and must first go through the lengthy and very hot process of smelting. A dedicated hall to handle the immense heat will be needed.
(Miner, Stonemason and Warsmith Clans can take this Task.)
[] Storehall. 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Storehall. A dry, secure place to store the Hold's resources is almost always best placed within the sanctuary of the Karak itself.
(Specify resource to store here. All Clans can work on this task.)
[] Tavern. 0/50
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Tavern. Here the Dawi of the Hold can gather to drink Ale and feast. Taverns are the site of great festivity and sombre commiserations.
(All Clans can work on this task.)
[] Throne Hall. 0/80
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Throne Hall. Here the Lord of the Hold will sit in judgement over criminals, hear audiences from his subjects and receive delegations from afar.
(Miner, Stonemason and Warsmith Clans can work on this task.)
[] Workshop Hall. 0/100
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Workshop Hall. Many Clans without dedicated halls will use Workshop Halls spread throughout the Karak to train Beardlings and to work on their craft.
(All Clans can work on this task.)
[] Vaults. 0/150
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Second Guardroom, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall on an available level of the North Peak for use as a Vault. Here the Hold will store precious metals (Gold, Silver, Gromril); items of great value and runic power, and the Hold Book of Grudges.
(Miner, Stonemason and Warsmith Clans can work on this task.)
[] Lower Level Hallway. 0/25
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavated a Hallway from between sections of the Karak.
(Select two areas to connect. Any Clan can take this task.)
[] Tomb Hall. 0/90
-[] +Huge, +50 to target
-[] +Fortified, +30 to target
-[] +Decorated, +10 to target
Excavate a Hall for the dead to lie in with the honour they deserve. While Clan Tombs might be attached to Clan Residences, those who are not of one of the major Clan will need a general place to rest in death.
(Any Clan can take this task.)
[] Amend an existing, completed structure. 0/60
-[] +Expansion
-[] +Fortification
-[] +Decoration
(Any Clan can take this task. Specify which structure and 1 amendment to be made to it.)
[] Refurnish a Hall. 0/50.
(Any Clan can take this task. Specify which structure and what it should be replaced with. Costs 20 Wood and 10 Steel Ingot.)
The Under Hold
The Under Hold is the deepest parts of the Karak. Here are the mines that venture far below the rest of the Hold and here are the places where the Holds of the Karaz Ankor are joined together by the Underways. 1 Major Coal vein has been identified. Behind the Underhold Fortifications lies only a limited space. There is room for 1 more Hall within that protection.
[] Prospectors Underhall. 0/50.
Dig out an Underhall for the Prospectors to make use of. From here they can spend all their time in the darkness below and continuously seek out veins to mine.
(Miner Clans can take this task.)
[] Ironbeards Station. 0/50.
There has been a long and horrible war in the deep darkness below. The greatest warriors of the tunnels are the Ironbeards who can stand alone in the tight quarters for some say literal years against a veritable tide. Excavate an Ironbeards Station where the Elder Miners who have earnt the title will sleep, eat and live awaiting the call to arms.
(Miner, Stonemason and Warsmith Clans can take this task.)
[] Training Underhall. 66/80.
A maze of tight tunnels that have never seen light, not even when they were carved from the Underhold, and are rougher ground than the rockiest hills and steepest slopes. The Throng may need to learn to fight in the nightmare that is the Underhold, or in the similarly hellish environment of enemy territory.
(Miner, Stonemason and Warsmith Clans can take this task.)
[] Iron Ore Under-Storehall, 93/100.
A place for Iron Ore to be stored where it can be kept dry and safe has been begun within the Underhold of North Peak.
(All Clans can work on this task.)
[] Under-Storehall. 0/100.
Somewhere within the mess of tunnels that weave through the Underhold an Under-Storehall should be carved out. Useful for storing ore before it shipped to the smelters or for storing coal for those few Underhalls that are afforded the luxury of good lighting.
(Specify resource to store here. All Clans can work on this task.)
[] Under-Armoury. 0/50.
A store of weapons and armour for ordinary Dawi to use should the Underhold be attacked should be kept safe and secure somewhere near to the Lower Stairs.
(All Clans can work on this task.)
[] Quarry. 0/50.
Designate some part of the Underhold to a Quarry. From here stone will be drawn to be used in essentially everything. A Quarry could supply the Hold with a nigh infinite source of stone.
(All Clans can work on this task.)
[] Send out Sniffers.
Challenge Level: 40
There isn't time to settle in Prospectors. If the Miners can smell something worth mining they should mine it now. Set the Miners to sniffing and digging.
(Only Miner Dice can be assigned to this Task. This excludes Beardlings.)
[] Establish a Major Coal Mine. 3/50
A Vein has been found to establish a long-term mine around.
(Only Miner Dice can be assigned to this Task. This excludes Beardlings.)
[] Underway Hub. 0/150
Your Karak is growing rather full as far as halls are concerned and with a new generation of adults, and new Engineer Clan, in the near future you might need more space for people too. If you colonise the Hargrobi nest you'll need a secure connection between it and Karak Drekfut and that means an Underway and the Underway Hubs that it joins together.
(Stonemason and Miner Clans can work on this task.)
Runelord Challenges

Challenge Level: 60
(Select a Rune and a part of your Regalia.)
A Lord's Regalia are a long list of items. A full set of Armour, Az and Shield, Tapestry Cloak, Crown and Banner.

You could commission a rune to be inscribed upon one of your regalia.
[] Item Rune: A Guardian's Commission
Challenge Level: 80
Guardian of the Gate Nirvid Leadbeard has requested that a rune be cut into her hammer. She has never had any runic equipment before and is quite eager for her first. As one of the Hold's pre-eminent warriors the Rhunrikki believes the effort will may prove worthwhile.

-[] Regrowth
[] Constructed Rune: A Shield
Challenge Level: 30

[] Constructed Rune: A Hammer
Challenge Level: 60

[] Constructed Rune: A Lord's Panoply
Challenge Level: 60
(Select 3 Runes, only 1 can be a Master Rune and it must match the type of item, Select 1 piece of your equipment.)
A Lord's Regalia are a long list of items. A full set of Armour, Az and Shield, Tapestry Cloak, Crown and Banner. You have a Cloak more than worthy of a Lord, woven by the Goddess Valaya herself but the rest is mundane equipment no matter how high quality. Allow the Rhunrikki to melt down one of these items, or simply replace your Banner, and create from the Gromril a replacement.
[] Constructed Rune: A Lady's Panoply
Challenge Level: 60
(Select 3 Runes, only 1 can be a Master Rune and it must match the type of item, Select 1 piece of equipment. Costs 3 Gromril Ingot.)
A Lady's Regalia are a long list of items. A full set of Armour, Az and Shield, Tapestry Cloak, Crown and Banner. Lady Daungrumm is not a great warrior and does not carry gromril arms and armour, but Valaya the Protector is a reminder that a Lady has her place under gromril.

Challenge Level: 30
Seek amongst the Beardlings of the Clans one who bears the Blood of Thungni. In elder days there was the Clan Thungnisson and all who were born into it could smell Magic and could strike Runes but now the Blood of Thungni has been spread thinly through the Karaz Ankor by disasters.
(This Apprenticeship will last 5 years and impose a -5 to Rhunrikki Gutfroy's die. For 10 years after this the resulting Runesmith will have a die with a penalty of halving.)
Personal Challenges
