30th Granite:
This has been a very productive month, as all nine ghosts that were screaming through the fortress have been put to rest, and a good 90 additional coffins have been constructed and are ready to be filled (with pets and dwarves, since we have so many).
This includes the ghost that was screaming at the non-bezerk vampire. As the ghost was laid to a rest, the screaming stopped, and you could hear a whispered "Thank you" from down the hall.
Additionally, a complete rework over the squads seems to be needed. After interviewing all of the millitary, i can see that the squads have.... little to nothing in common within their squads. The squads may seem to have the requisite skills, but in fact, have little to nothing in common, skillwise.
I have rearranged the 5 unskilled and actually pretty well equipped squads into 3 squads
The Gears of Living: Hammerdwarf
Sauvage as the Millitia Commander and 9 other dwarves
The Blockades Arches: Marksdwarfs
UristTheGrey II as the millitia captain, and 9 other dwarves (of note is Led Nirdoren Tangathniral Birir, or Led as he is normally called, who has killed 7 zonbies and 6 goblins/trolls
The helmed Taxes: Axedwarfs
Lef by Erush Lorod, Magmaman as the millitia captain, and 9 other dwarves.
Of second note, we have little to no bedrooms for the average citizen. As such, i have mandated construction of 196 bedrooms, in a windmill villa style (28 1x3 bedrooms per floor, 7 floors). Each dwarf will get a bed, cabinet, and chest.
This part of an arcane design that took many years and better dwarves than I to work out. As i discovered this on a
hidden tome sealed away for hundreds of years.

In order to prevent the mass raising of corpses, i have started dumping the corpses of non-dwarves into the magma moat.
26th Slate:
We get some more migrants, 7 of them, and we also have a baby boy being born.
1st Felsite:
another baby boy is being born, someone might have slipped in fertility drugs into the local booze supply. At least this is not birthed over the volcano (but it was birthed over a staircase...)
10th Felsite:
Shockingly, we have filled up all the coffins needed... Sixty were filled, with another fifteen standing ready.
