Apparently the dwarfs here over at Stokershoots are in need of my expert opinions as a human everything expert that I am.
So I gladly headed over with all my expert knowledge on the subject.
As soon as I reached the gates i was astonished, this looked nothing like a human settlement that i was expecting. Half the city is under the other half of the city, there were no fountains to be seen and there wasn't even a brothel.
I was tempted to burn it all down and start anew but like proper dwarves everything was made of metal and not wood. Touche
ooc: please noone take offence i actually like the look, it looks like dwarves try to make a human settlement but don't know how.
this is how everything looked when i got here
At least there was a nice slums area
and the upper area looked pretty cool
And they even had a HARBOR already done, but obviously the dwarves that made this knew very little about seafaring because there was absolutely no lighthouse. How do you expect other ships to find your harbour. One of the first things i'll have to do is get a lighthouse started.
Next I took stock of the population and the stocks.
everything looked good except for the exporting and importing problem. We've been importing a lot and i don't see why this place looks pretty self sufficient, it doesn't seem to need much imports. And the population was 235 strong, this place is pretty condensed for such a huge populations. what gives!?
Ohhhhhhh that's a lot of kids. it looks like the sun has been having some very good affects on the populations, but this is concerning
42% of the population is kids. I will need to think of something to do with these kids. I must go and think.
So some time has passed and I have begun work on the lighthouse and decided that a half finished Town Hall is no hall at all their construction is topmost priority. But since i'm working on both projects consequatively i need a lot of construction workers which the population does not seem to have. Then I had my brilliant IDEA. I went around town and told everyone that children consist of the main construction force in all human lands and that that is how they build things so quickly.
It seems to have worked.
They seem to be constructing the base of the lighthouse at inhuman speeds. I told them to build a jeweler's shop and they did it in less than an hour. these children are great. I will have to think further on this issue.
So today the Emprah "Lightningfalcon" came to complain to me. i just think he is being too picky
When I refused him and explained that this is how human ruler's live and that if he wishes to mimic them he should hush. Sufficed to say he was not happy and threatened to hold pupies and kitties hostage.
He even threatened some of our war dogs. Sufficed to say I was not pleased and stopped him. The rest of the populace was so happy they made me their hammerer.
I have figured out what to do with the children and have begun the construction of a fourth project. The town Hall is moving Quickly and the Lighthouse Slowly but these children workers are so quick that i am sure i will be able to finish most if not all the project by the end of the year. Also there was a kobold thief today.
Apparently he appeared right in the middle of our barracks while everyone was sparring. I laughed until i heard that he got away. Our military can't run fast. I will need to implement a cardio program for all of them.
Today some migrants arrived.
This helps a lot since now the children population is only 39% of the population which alows for our elections to run more smoothly and reduces the runners with children special interests. Hopefully my program will help deal with them and allow the rest of us to live in peace away from their calamities.
the population is now 258. I have ordered an increase in the living arrangements
The elven caravan arrived today.
God even where they live sounds snooty. I have bought some stuff from them.
Some people have come up to me to ask me what they should do with all the kobold blood that litters the city. I jokingly told them that humans have a tradition where they take blood such as this and decorate their buildings and monuments. Later on i noticed this.
I didn't really think they would believe me or go to such lengths. It seems these dwarves are very dead set on being as human-like as possible. I wonder what else they would believe.
They have even gone as far as to decorate our new memorial fountain with this blood. It does give it an interesting grisly quality.
Something has possessed on of our carpenters. He ran into a workshop and locked himself in.
He later came out with this thing.
I'm sure people will gladly store their stuff in this thing. It does seem like we needed more bins.
It is summer now and the town hall is close to completion all that is left is a small bell tower to b e placed on the top.
ooc: Sorry it's taking me a while but i'm micromanaging all the project simultaneously so i have to pause a lot. I'll probably have summer done by tomorow. Also i forgot to write down any dates so ....
