In the Hall of the Mountain King
Deep in Diamond Mountain, the Great Hall of our King resides. Here he rules over all who live under the mountains. It is time to start taking care of some unfinished business, if we are to reform the Dogs into a force capable of beating the treacherous griffon thieves.
|

No Stone Left Unturned
Ever since the despicable knights, who seem to have no idea how property works, stole our most precious hoard, we have been looking for more precious stones. The first step to getting our gold and gems back is scouring the country for more crystal deposits. We are good at mining, let us play to our strength.
|
||
Delve Deep
There is no reason to not dig as deep as we can. The deeper we go, the more expensive materials we will find. We have the technology and the slaves to make it happen, so let us see what lies beneath. There are some legends about an ancient darkness from a bygone era lying beneath the mountain, however, those are merely tales they tell to little pups to make them sleep at night.
|
| |
Delve Smart
Instead of risking the depths of the roots of the Earth, let us instead focus on increasing the output from the deposits we already found. Going too far down there is risky and we don't even know for sure if we will find any good materials so far down. By expanding our current mining operations, we will have more than enough materials to make a grand army!
|
| |
Refill the Treasury
With our new mines up and running, we will finally be able to spare some materials to fill our coffers. The poor grand treasury was so empty it was simply depressing. Although it is nothing like the hoard we used to possess, we will create a pile of riches worthy of respect. All dogs will know that the King is still fabulously rich.
|
With ceaseless labour and boundless willpower, our dogs are refilling the ancient treasury of our mountain home. As we chip away at the never disturbed earth under the mountain, every new tunnel dug and every new ore found strenghtens our state. We will be strong again!
| |
| ||
Bring the Lords to Heel
Some of the Lords of smaller settlements have been criticising Rover for the dissent amongst the slaves and openly questioning whether his family is fit to rule under the Mountain. Anydog who dares question Rover Diamondshield will have to back up his words by deeds. We will see how these Lords bark if Rover challenges them to a duel! They will run home with their tail between their legs!.
|
||
A Way Towards Freedom
All those who prove themselves in combat, should have the chance to become freedogs. Our system of slavery is based on enslaving those we deem the weakest after all, so a strong soldier should be rewarded with freedom. This system should seem fair to a lot of dogs, helping to improve army morale.
|
||
Keep Our Word
We are different than the ponies, but that does not mean we cannot work with them. They have knowledge we lack and some of them seem to be still seeking revenge against the Griffons as well. Besides, there is little more valuable than a dog's word. If we are to keep it that way, we better make sure we honour our deals.
|
||
The Lone Dog
The differences between us and the ponies are simply too big. Most of them do not understand the value of riches and power. If we are not careful, the judgemental equines will start to interfere with our very way of life. They will consider slavery 'unethical' and mining 'not environmentally friendly'. It is clear that the only real canine nation must forge its own path as the Lone Dog of Griffonia.

The following will bypass the focus:

|
Revenge
Do we still need to tell others this? During the reign of Tug the Boneless, King Rover's father, the griffons of Hellquill broke into our mountain and had the audacity to steal OUR TREASURE. Now that we have taken care of things back home, we will be coming for their heads and our gold. And guess what? We will be taking all of their gold too!
|
The following will bypass the focus:

|
Revenge Achieved!
We have done it! Let us cheer for our glorious King, Rover Diamondshield. The pride of his family and all Dogs has been restored! Let us begin the monumental task of cataloguing and transporting our gold, jewels and artefacts back to the Mountain and the impenetrable treasury. Afterwards, we can celebrate the return of our gold!
|
The Riches of Diamond Mountain have returned and our Kingdom is once again the richest nation of Griffonia! The security such a large hoard brings will stabilise our country, helping to bribe anydog who threatens our rule.
| |
The Princess Regent
Due to the recent unrest, King Rover Diamondshield has decided to take a step back. His daughter, Princess Molly, will now try her paw at governing. She has promised to listen to the slaves' concerns and reform society to resemble the ponies' harmonic model. The Diamond Mountain looks forward with nervous expectation at the Princess Regent's next steps.
|
||
The Emancipation Proclamation
"That on the first day of January, all beings held as slaves within our nation, shall be thenceforward and forever free; and the Government of Diamond Mountain, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such beings and will do no act or acts to repress such beings, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom."
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
Recovering from Slavery
The institute of slavery is not simply erased by one law. The worst of the trouble may be over for the slaves, but we still have to find normal homes and jobs for all of them, and until this all is settled, everything will not run as smoothly as before.
|
Open Up the Mountain
For too long we have jealously guarded our wealth. Our closemindedness and unwillingness to work together made us vulnerable to the Knights of Hellquill. If we open up the Mountain for trade and commerce with the rest of our pony friends, we can trade for useful things. By sharing our wealth, Diamond Mountain will prosper once more!
|
||
Things are changing rapidly underground. Ancient conventions and hierarchies are being torn down and fear is being replaced with hope. Everydog is looking forward to a brighter and fairer future.
| ||
The Bill of Rights
We must pen down some amendments to the Constitution which shall enshrine protections for everydog for future generations. Including the right to a fair trial, the right to the privacy of homes and protection so that the government isn't allowed to do everything without permission from the mountaindwellers themselves, except if it has been clearly written down before.
|
||
Time to Move On
We shouldn't keep ourselves stuck on grudges from the past. Of course, it would be nice to get our treasure back, but by fixating on revenge, we have forgotten what is truly important. The real treasures underneath Diamond Mountain aren't the ores, or even the gems. The treasures are the dogs themselves and we should take care of them!
|
Forgive But Don't Forget
The Princess has decided to forgive the attack by the griffons of Hellquill, as revenge will just lead to an unending spiral of violence. It would be stupid of us to forget what happened, but we should turn our power inwards, to defend our land and improve it, so that we will never be stolen from again!
| |
Rebuild the Holds
Many of the Holds are underdeveloped or still devastated from the Knights' attacks so many years ago. With everything in order and stable, we can start working on the rest of our country, turning every hold into a marvel of dog architecture!
| ||
Free Schoolbooks
A free population is a well-educated one, but sadly many dogs have never taken the time to learn how to read. By providing free schoolbooks and starting reading classes, we can slowly bring our dogs into the modern age. Naturally, our books will not only teach about mathematics and history, but also about friendship and democracy!

Reform the Tax Code
The tax code is horribly inefficient and confusing. It is full of tax breaks for certain clans who the Kings of the past tried to appease, meaning that the actual income we get from taxes is abysmally low. By going through the document and actually getting rid of all these loopholes, we can improve tax collection significantly, while actually making the system fairer.

Harmony Beyond the Mountain
There are many conflicts in the world, and sadly we can't help every being. But by sending our dogs out as volunteers for the righteous, maybe we can help to make the world a better place.
| ||
The Royal Family
The swift revolution meant we could imprison the royal family before they could flee. Now they cower with their tails between their legs, waiting for the freedogs' judgement. They have many crimes to answer for. Slavery, ordering brutal punishments, general incompetence. We will make sure the lawdog finds the family guilty on all accounts. Let's get this over with, because it is impolite to keep a royal waiting.
|
| |
Seize the Means of Production
A few dogs held on to all the wealth of the Mountain. While we laboured for long hours in the dark, they got to sit back and watch their wealth grow. No more! The factories and workshops should be owned by the state, so that everydog can get their fair share of the fruits of their labour. Anydog that resists us taking their ill-gotten property, will be tried as a traitor.
|
||
The Ruby Mountain
Diamond Mountain has turned red like a Ruby. The wealth of its vast mines is getting redistributed amongst the ex-slaves of the mountain. Anydog who resists the new order is put down without second thought as the downtrodden and oppressed of yesteryear exact bloody revenge upon their former masters. Let us stabilise the revolution and get rid of the last dogs who would work against us.

A Red Army
The slave army has of course been terminated, but many of the slaves have not forgotten their time in the armed forces. To defend the revolution, these old soldiers will fight anew. Not for masters or kings, but for the revolution. Not chained or leashed, but as proud free dogs. The Red Army shall defend the Hold of the Revolution against anydog who tries to steal our wealth!

Continue Wealth Redistribution
To ensure a stable nation, we shall distribute the wealth of the Mountain. Many gemstones and much gold are laying around in safes and treasuries of the old elite. They haven't worked a minute to earn those riches. We will bust them open and claim what we worked so hard for to ensure prosperity for everydog.
|
||
Internationalism
Dogs have traditionally always focused on what happened inside of our mountains. It is clear why the King didn't want us to look beyond. There are way more nations struggling for the working class! Many more like us rise up against oppression all across the world. Now that we are in control of the mountains, let us focus on helping our oppressed comrades worldwide. No more slaves, no more Kings!

Public Mines
Instead of regulating who goes into which mines and what gets taken out, we will remove a lot of the red tape. By opening the mines to the public and letting them keep what gemstones they find, while having them turn in useful minerals they can't process themselves, we will increase the efficiency of our mines.

| |
Re-education Courses
Many of our old enemies can still be won for the revolution. By giving them mandatory education on socialist values, we will ensure both their loyalty and their usefulness. Of course, we will also be re-educating the people themselves, since there is much to be learned from the socialist scientists that came before us.
|
||
The True Enemy
We must teach our dogs that the feelings of revenge they had before, must be turned into hatred of imperialists, nobles and slavers. Communism says that these are evil, whatever their race, and that we should work hard so that we can face them in battle, should they try to stop the world revolution. Communism will not stop until every last chain is broken!

We were the slaves who rose up against their masters. We should be the one leading the world of the future. We dogs will lead on, instead of barking to the others of this coalition. Of course, we will allow every being to join us!

Tap Into the Oil
During an excavation of a new tunnel, in search of a particularly dense vein of crystals, somedogs have uncovered a strange black liquid pouring from below. The smarter ones called it "crude oil" and claim that it will further enrichen the Mountain, if we were to extract it. Dogs prefer their treasure solid and stackable, but this black gold holds a promise for an advanced future.

Crystals for the Warlock-Engineers
The Warlock-Engineers of Clan Azar-Dun meld sorcery and science until the two are undisguisable. Metal and crystals are fused with their flesh and crackle with archaic energies. Their voices twisted by the electric masks their wear. For long they have been at the edge of Diamond Dog society, but with a steady offering of crystals we can persuade the clan to share their secrets with the rest of the Kingdom.

| ||
Science Without a Cause
Experiments, hypotenuses and research! Our science dogs have grown very fond of creating new inventions and improvements. While not all have a practical purpose, and schedules are rarely followed, it remains clear that if we were to invest further, the amount of discoveries would increase drastically! Perhaps we can finally figure out how to turn lead to gold?

Clan Var Alsas
Clan Var Alsas might be a bit cowardly, preferring to shoot their enemies from afar, but that does not mean their tactics are not useful. Our forges can provide us with all the ammunition we will ever need, so why not blast our enemies into tiny pieces while we watch from a safe distance?
|
| |
| ||
Clan Terri Azur
The Terri Azur Clan is one of the leaders in raiding parties. They have made extensive use of slave armies and care about results before lives. We should overwhelm our enemies with hordes of wardogs. This is the best way to ensure victory. If our dogs remember the loot that awaits them, we can get them into a frenzy and make them risk their lives!
|
| |
| ||
Troll Hounds
Take a dog. Corrupt it with dark magic and science. Throw it into a pit with others for a few weeks and take the survivors out and break their minds. These are the Troll Dogs. We can use them as front-line shock troops that can shrug off bullets, smash armoured tanks with their bare paws and cause havoc in the enemy's ranks.

A Cruiser
Cruisers, although having a significantly worse name than destroyers, are apparently an upgrade. They are harder to produce, but are bigger, more resilient and carry more firepower. If we want to have a navy that can contend with the rest of the world, we should include some of these ships.
