[Anaris]

I have found a site, and checked it out.

The western part of it is a tree-covered plain, with a stream in the far southwest corner. The cliffs thrust sharply up out of the plain just east of the middle of the embark area, with the highest peak nearly 40 z-levels above the ground. The lava tube's top is 25 levels above the ground.  Our parent civilization, Dalzatlokum, "The Matched Spears," is just a little ways north of us, and they are a mighty dwarven empire.

Everything is frozen now, but it should thaw within the month. 

Here is the embark set I picked (this is one part I'm not that great at, so please excuse the haphazardness of it):

Once they are out of the way, I'd like to do at least some collective planning of what the fort should look like.
