Journal of Betelgeuse
2nd Hematite
This morning I found a note left by one of the townspeople, Halt. It says that he heard me talking to myself about the shortage of wood and suggested that I use some of the fire clay in the area. Oddly enough the note is dated back to the beginning of the spring. Apparently I missed it this entire time. Very strange. Anyway I'll have to remember to tell him that I have already fixed the material problem by having a grove of trees north of the river cut down.
3rd Hematite
I have begun construction on my own home, as well as several others for the last homeless among us. I hope that everyone will have a roof above their head by the time summer ends. Murderfarmed doesn't need anyone dying of cold.
4th Hematite
I was poking through the inventory lists today and made a slightly disturbing discovery. Apparently someone made a crown and a scepter out of horse sinew. Sinew! How is that even possible? Its all very strange. I think I'll have them traded to the elves, if for no other reason than to get rid of them.
6th Hematite
Godsdamn elves! The fools just took off today in the middle of a trade! I made them an offer for a trade and they shouted something about proud and beautiful trees. I told them there wasn't any wood in the goods I had offered them, but they simply refused all other trades and left. I'm really quite baffled as to what happened.
9th Hematite
Dumat has finally snapped. This morning he went stark raving mad. I hope he doesn't try to injure anyone. If he does we'll likely have to kill him. Murderfarmed can't take care of a madman. And I don't really know who the military commander is anyway.
24th Hematite
Little has happened the past few weeks. Construction has continued, and we are making good progress. Dumat has been a problem (yet). I hope he continues to be like this. Little else to report.
1st Malachite
Mother Nature has struck again, this time in the form of a bull moose running around in the village. The militia has dealt with it, but it gave everyone quite a scare.
7th Malachite
The walls of my house are finished, as are the floors. All that remains is the roof and the furnishings.
8th Malachite
The carpenters say they have run out of wood for the furniture of my house. This is unacceptable. I have ordered them to chop down every tree necessary to make sure they complete their task. Luckily there are many trees north of the river. They'll do for lumber.
11th Malachite
The craftsdwarves have been raving for three days now about the lack of wood. I have tried to explain to them that more is coming, but they insist on yelling about how they don't have enough logs every few hours.
13th Malachite
The first round of furniture has been completed. It has gone into my house as well as the new houses built around town. Additionally Kivish, Triaxx and Uristeamer's daughter, has turned one today. It is wonderful to see Murderfarmed's next generation growing up well.
18th Malachite
More damn animal attacks. This time a coati. I don't think anyone has been injured, but its only a matter of time. The problem is getting seriously out of hand. I will have to start organizing more hunting parties.
27th Malachite
A large group of migrants arrived today, bringing the population of Murderfarmed to 40. It is good to see our little town grow like this, but I honestly have no idea how I am going to build houses for them all. I'm ordering more trees chopped down. We're going to need enough wood to make an elf faint for everyone to live comfortably.
3rd Galena
Things have been slow and boring this summer. Just boring enough to justify throwing a party dedicated to a cedar table, which is exactly what Uristeamer did. Od fellow. But I suppose it keeps people entertained.
5th Galena
More hunting parties. This time for a boar that has been wandering around the southern half of town.
7th Galena
A day that shall go down in history as one of unspeakable horror. Even now my hand shakes as I write this. Today Stray Lamb(Tame) was stung by a honeybee. Oh gods, the horror. The horror.]
