3rd Granite, 243
In lieu of making our own calendar, we have taken to using the Dwarven one. It is the commonly accepted standard of the other civilizations, and I see no reason why we should not-we've taken to digging stone and forging metal, after all.
My name is Dlostlaymer, and Flilishaldin, Carrier of the Words of Shorer, has chosen me to lead Chlilithaymis for a year. I am a Mason, one of the Workers-With-Stone, the caste that was born here at Chlilithaymis, and it is my duty to begin a most onerous task-that of reorganizing all the items that lie about.
It is a difficult one, but I offer much praise to the gods-Jreengus first-that I have Shorer's notes!
9th Granite
Recently, Gagombis has approached me. He is worried about the issues of "crime"-a most confusing concept Shorer detailed in brief-and wishes to lead a small squad of Hackers to deal with it-even though he is not yet quite sure what it is.
As such, I have appointed him "Sheriff." He promptly turned around and demanded a better room, and furniture for it.
Who am I to refuse? His request has been granted.
11th Granite
Jreengus Occurring! Of all the things to happen on my watch...Elves have attacked!
I have dispatched our budding military to deal with them. May luck hold with us.
15th Granite
The attack was a rout...for the Elves! Of their attackers, only three survived-Crossbowmen.
Their bodies are being borne back to camp. I will feast on their bones in satisfaction. The bloodied members of our military now command their squads.
Gagombis was disappointed to not join in the slaughter, but I informed him that the duty of the Sherriff is to protect the home front...not without a small amount of smugness, I must admit.
Due to their escape, I have ordered the construction of a small bridge across the water further north. They will not escape again. Too long, we have feared Elven reprisal...now, it is we who will do the slaughtering.
20th Granite
Looking to the future, I have ordered the construction of several large animal traps around our domain. Inoffensive and disgusting as Snailmen and Slugmen are, they are still a defense to be considered, and may be used as bait for the trapping of other creatures. Engravings record the visit of a cougar, and once a wolf pack, to our domicile, and I would be ready for the day they finally appear.
I have also begun to think on the construction of a waterwheel for the making of flour and dyes with Fifemave Ademaava.
26th Granite
On a brief stop in the Metalworking pits-how strange it feels to say that word-I have noted the pitiful size of the area. Despite Shorer's notes on it being the first place we ever dug stone, I've ordered it expanded.
6th Slate
Our Dungeon Master has arrived, and there is a mild panic to accommodate him. Shorer's notes, however, are once more invaluable, as I have recreated the room of our previous Dungeon Master.
The unfortunate peasant currently sleeping off his wounds has been evicted, likely much to his chagrin.
In the catacombs, deep in the earth, I've allowed another of the great rooms for the Dungeon Master. With him come migrants-a Woodworker, a Furnace Operator, five Peasants, two Trappers, two Animal Dissectors, a Wood Burner, a Planter, a Weaver, a Hunter-he will be disappointed to learn of the poor pickings here, and that I have assigned him to become a Fisher-and a pup.
16th Slate
Flilishaldin, our leader, lacks a tomb-much to my shock, as I can think of few more deserving. Despite her assurances, I have chosen one of the corner tombs for her and her lover Chlilis, and once our Engravers have grown in skill, I will have it engraved for her.
20th Felsite
I have explored much of Chlilithaymis, and seen quite a few of its wonders-its legendary dining room, one of them.
This understood, one can imagine my surprise at hearing that one of our Stonecrafters had decided to organize a party at one of the jails!
Upon speaking to her, I learned that she was ignorant of the great dining hall, and surprised of its existence.
I have begun to inform the kobolds of the great dining hall. Hopefully, they will start using it.
Also worth noting is our new Spearmaster, Plikipreerbis Fenefucuna!
1st Hematite
Summer has arrived, and things are going well! The larger of the two animal traps is well under construction, and I have ordered construction of a Kennels to train whatever we garner from it.
The trappers beg for work, and I have begun to order the placement and baiting of the various traps we have sitting around.
2nd Hematite
Babakaflulber Cithasiladatha has become another Spearmaster!
8th Hematite
Among Shorer’s notes were musings on the “machines” the mechanics have mumbled about in their moods-among them a “windmill” and “waterwheel.” Having had a look at our monolith, I have realized that it is far too small to contain a windmill. This was, for a while, a rather depressing thing to realize-but having gone outside to look at our great statue, I was struck by inspiration. Why not put a windmill on one of its arms?
I’ve ordered Krankus to build a gear assembly in preparation. I need more time to consider where exactly we’ll put the grindstones.
I’ve also added two more Kobolds to our military. Klogis and Fusulus seem to have the proper qualities for a soldier, and now wield spears.
14th Hematite
Jreengus Occurring! Goblin ambush-I am thankful to the gods that a farmer came across them quickly. He was, regretfully, struck down-but not before taking one of their number with him.
The ambush is dealt with. No casualties save our unfortunate farmer.
15th Hematite
Our wall of cage traps has captured a goblin. He has been remanded to the Animal Stockpiles, to await eventual execution/target practice in the arena.
16th Hematite
A caravan has arrived! Flilishaldin has gone to trade-or, at least, that’s what he told me. After three days of no-show, I ordered a Gem Cutter to take his place.
We’ve acquired more food, some more weapons, and a few choice items.
Oddly enough, I found some of our Artifacts in the trading pile-or rather, artifacts from our past. Why they’re not down in the Artifact Storage in the Catacombs, I cannot imagine.
23rd Hematite
ANOTHER Goblin ambush! This one claimed another peasant, before our soldier charged in and swiftly divested our foes of their lives. Folofolin, you will be missed.
25th Hematite
Perhaps due to the fighting outside, we have another Axe Lord! Thulufusridus shall be receiving the usual room with slightly better accommodations, as usual.
25th Malachite
Our Axe Lords and Spearmasters are progressing apace-in fact, we have so many, they have begun to outnumber their subordinates! While a humorous fact, it is but one of many. Recently, my own foolishness in regard to the placement of a windmill has caused it to fall entirely, causing the death of a kobold pup. While sobered, I intend to continue-though not in this foolish direction. I cannot discern the direction of the wind, I know that the water flows ever south; and it is a much simpler proposition to construct a waterwheel, in any case.
13th Galena
Now that the Smelting Pits have been expanded, I’ve ordered the construction of another Smelter, as our primary is busy with the work of burning coal into coke. We’ve got to have plenty of metal for the day an anvil finally arrives.
20th Galena
Our archers have been complaining of their inability to…arch, as it were, due to the lack of ammo.
I’ve deforbidden all the arrows in the pits.
There is now a furious charge to put all the arrows back into their stockpiles.
22nd Galena
I’ve ordered construction of an Ashery in the Smelting Pits. Glass calls for it.
11th Limestone
A caravan from Srugupeersnus has arrived. Hopefully they’ll have some useful things.
14th Limestone
Due to the overcrowding in the Well-Hall, I’ve ordered the construction of a second in the Catacombs.
I’ve also cancelled the orders to collect all of the ammunition in the Archery Pits. Nothing else was getting done!
16th Limestone
We’ve traded some clothes-all Elven-for another suit of chainmail, some gloves, and a pile of food-and a rope or two.
…On second thought, I think I’ll ask Flilishaldin to get some more leather, too. We’re out, after all.
20th Limestone
I’ve set plans for the expansion of the Military District, to be put into motion when the Miners need more work, or we need more stone, whichever happens first.
27th Limestone
Migrants! A Clothesmaker, a Soap Maker…and that seems to be it, oddly enough.
3rd Sandstone
Plusheeldis Utaaspo has become a legendary champion! In honor, he has been assigned an all-stone room with a well-crafted door and a finely-crafted bed, not to mention an armor stand and weapon rack!
10th Sandstone
Plikipreerbus Fenefecuna has become a legendary champion! Like Plusheeldis, she has been awarded better lodgings.
13th Sandstone
Gradajilmus, a Peasant, has been taken by a mood. Only time remains to see what comes of it.
17th Sandstone
This is a good month for Champions-Babakaflulber Cithasildatha has become yet another champion!
Standard rewards have been given.
Thufusridus too…merciful Jreengus. I eagerly await the day goblins or elves attempt to attack us.
19th Sandstone
The peasant-his rants make it more and more obvious he is possessed-has taken two turtle shells, horse leather, chestnut logs, elf bones, and rough yellow jaspers, before setting to. I wonder what he will create.
23rd Sandstone
After four days of labor, Gradajilmus has created “Etherelarina,” or “Lessenedbreath,” a Turtle Shell Piccolo. He stumbled from the Carver’s Workshop in a daze, put it away in the Artifact Storage, and staggered away to his room, exhausted. It seems he has not gained at all-but kept his life, for which I am grateful.
5th Timber
Stugukuchrulmus Spostnalusek has become YET ANOTHER Champion!
12th Timber
I think I’ve figured out the reason for the lack of organization in the stockpiles-lack of bins. When I ordered the construction of bins, every Kobold that could carry one immediately began to organize.
With this in mind, I’ve ordered the mass construction of bins.
19th Timber
Thlorsnis has become a Swordmaster.
24th Timber
Gagombis has become a champion!
And Chrofogothumin Stratabuznuk, too.
…This is a good year for champions-and a bad year for goblins.
2nd Moonstone
What is it with these last five months and Champions? It seems every time I turn around, I hear the call from my fellow ‘bolds. This time, it’s Slogotlayngis Irarane, a Swordmaster.
Someone else will need to assign them rooms.
4th Moonstone
With the reassignment of the Furniture Stockpile, the number of empty barrels has become worrisomely apparent. I’ve ordered the mass harvest of plants and fishing.
12th Moonstone
The traders have come-I’ve asked Flilishaldin to trade with them.
14th Moonstone
Another Champion-this time, Giklabin.
It’s remarkable how many are appearing…next time the Goblins come, I might almost pity them.
17th Moonstone
After spending five days waffling about, Flilishaldin has gone to trade, and we have acquired more swords, shovels, armor, leather, and various meats. Huzzah!
17th Opal
Kragraynkin Wareciyodia, a Swordmaster, has become another Champion.
At this rate, any Goblins that attack will be reduced to small, bloody chunks in no time.
I’ve also ordered the construction of a road out to the edge of our domain. Hopefully it will attract Humans.
25th Opal
Due to complaints of vermin, I’ve ordered our Trappers to begin catching them
en masse, as the Elves say. The traders may like them.
28th Opal
Upon going down to the Animal Stockpiles, I discovered much to my surprise that we had captured a pair of Slugmen.
Perhaps my successor will figure out something to do with them.
22nd Obsidian
Krankus informed me today that we need more cages for our Cage Traps-I’ve acquiesced, and the Carpenters are mad at work.
Additionally, it seems many of our kin are pragmatic-most of the vermin have been eaten from their cages.
At last, Spring has arrived, and I surrender charge of Chlilithaymis to whoever will lead it next. Jreengis has smiled upon us; a bounty of food and champions have come to be ours.
May my successor be as lucky!
