Journal of Sula Kosothecem
14th Malachite, Year 1
Kalen took me aside today, an impish twinkle in her eye. Down into the central shaft we crept, until she found what she'd brought me for. Kira and Sister Veshrimtar were getting to know eachother. I was shocked, to say the least. Kalen made several lewd remarks about the two before turning and leaning towards me. I nearly fell over when she began to blackmail me, threatening to tell Kira and Veshrimtar that she'd found me spying on them! She demanded a sword by the end of the month, ignoring the fact that we had no metals or even an anvil! Regardless, I was forced to agree, as refusing risked destroying what little support I had from the two. By the gods, I loathe that Kalen.
20th Galena, Year 1
Kalen has informed me that our food stocks have rotted. Seventy turtles lost! I've ordered the butchering of the donkey and horse from our wagon as an emergency measure. I've planted our plump helmet spawn. Though the deadline for Kalen's sword has passed, I do not believe that she has told Kira or Veshrimtar anything. I fear she is saving her hand for another round.
1st Limestone, Year 1
The female muskox gave birth to twins today, with help from Norman. We're not sure which of the males is the father, so we may have to import new males to prevent inbreeding in the future. The two female dogs also look ready to birth young, and Norman has asked to have his duties given to others in order to safeguard the birth of puppies. I'll take on his workload, as I don't believe myself able to throw such a task upon the others after all the hard work they have already done.
23rd Limestone, Year 1
The first supply caravan has arrived. Sister Veshrimtar handled the trading, turning a handful of trinkets brought with us into a healthy amount of meats and fish. She also met with our liason, Oddom Merchanttrailed. I feel her last name is quite fitting for a liason, myself!

Does anyone have a preference for the depth of the living quarters?
