Third day of Winter, Year One:
Winter arrived with little pomp or ceremony, though we all knew what it meant. There would be no merchants this season. We were isolated, and apart from the ever present threat of Goblin invasion, we were alone.

However, not more than a few hours into the first day we heard the familiar, and friendly call of Gnomads on the hills. While we couldn't offer them the hospitality we would want without tea, we did our best to welcome Wilfdude, Elitus, and SerPrancy into the fort. Once they'd had time to warm by the torches and thaw the icicles from their beards they were assigned their professions, a mason, a tailor, and a carpenter respectively.

Besides that welcome distraction, work continued with haste on preparing the grounds for our future expansion, with Gnomes working long into the night hauling in logs and foraged goods from the hills beyond our walls. It has been a dangerous few days, but the sooner we can prepare the land, the sooner we can wall it off so future work can be conducted at any hour without risk of Goblin ambush

Seventh day of Winter, Year One:
After much anticipation the seating was finally completed for our great hall, which has quickly become the focus of our pride in these winter months. Naturally, the cheer was somewhat diminished by our lack of tea with which to celebrate, but the simple fact that we can all sit down to eat together has had an enormous impact on the mood of the fort.

Not only were we able to all but complete the dining hall, but we also put the final touches to the stonemason workshops, and I expect this will lead to a significant improvement in the time needed to complete future constructions!

However, the goblin raids are fast becoming a nightly event, I struggle to understand how the green-skins can afford to continually throw their warriors at our defences like this, seeing as none make it back alive. But I worry if this keeps up, it may turn into a war of attrition and I wonder which of our Kingdoms will outlast the other...

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting
