Diary of Gomathuleng Febbomrek (Legendlost Arrowwhip)11th Malachite After the workers informed me that all of our workshops were cluttered, I designated an area for stockpiling our food and useless trinkets.
On a different note, our farm is completely finished and producing mushrooms at a surplus
6th Galena I have ordered the inside smoothed, to give the dwarves practice with stonework. Once all the dwarves can engrave suitably, I will begin work on my suite.
16th Galena With the ever-nearing caravan, I have suspended all production of furniture, in favour of yet more useless trinkets.
4th Limestone After tripping over a cat in the hallway, I have ordered all unclaimed animals slaughtered. Sadly, the cat in question was already owned, and thus spared from our butcher's knife.
11th Limestone In anticipation of a goblin, or elf, attack, I have ordered the dwarves to construct a wall around the entrance to the fort, with a drawbridge prepared to raise.
14th Limestone I have decided to stop giving new orders to the dwarves, so they can finish the current projects.
27th Limestone Shadowhammer awoke me at noon today, shouting about there being more migrants. I told him to write a report and to let me sleep.
According to Shadowhammer, most of the migrants have military experience, but none more notable than the previous bunch. Among them, there is:
1 Planter,
1 Leatherworker,
1 Woodcutter,
and 1 Carpenter.
23rd Sandstone We have finished the wall around the entrance to our fort. Nothing is left but to hook the drawbridge up to a lever
15th Timber Today, the caravan arrived. I ordered everyone to stop whatever they were doing and start bringing up useless trinkets to trade with.
I noticed Shadowhammer staring breathlessly at the caravan guards. When asked, he said that it was always his dream to become a soldier, but reality(and his parents), didn't allow it to be. I told him to prove that he could, and I would let him be our military commander. I ordered a gym to be constructed in his room for him to use.
7th Moonstone Once we finished bringing up the useless trinkets that people adore so much, I told a nearby pedestrian to go trade for us. He walked away carrying a single bismuth bronze bar and a keg of swamp whiskey.
10th Moonstone I ordered our stonecrafters and engravers to continue their smoothing and useless trinket making once again.
15th Moonstone The merchants left today with better than a month's worth of our work. They chased away the thieves that had been plaguing us lately, so that's two sets of evil, thieving parasites gone. And to think my parents called me xenophobic!
22nd Moonstone We finally finished hooking up the drawbridge to a lever. We can now lock out anyone coming to steal our wealth, and let in anyone who we can tolerate.
24th Moonstone Shadowhammer once again woke me up today, this time from a pleasant dream of becoming the ruler of all dwarfkind, subject to none, feared by all. I just barely managed to restrain myself from throwing my axe at him. After I woke myself up with a mug full of swamp whiskey, he told me that he believed that the gym had been effective at improving his stamina
8th Opal In a cruel, unfair twist of fate, it is now winter. The ponds have frozen over, like a metaphor for ... something... bad
12th Opal Shadowhammer tells me that the engravers have finished smoothing the fortress. I will have to trust his word, as I have locked myself in my room, to avoid the cruel taunting of nature. Ever since childhood, the nature has hated me. I will make nature pay for it's crimes when I rule over it.
16th Opal I finally braved the outside today. The moment I left my room, the fortress liaison demanded (demanded!) to speak with me. I only manage to put up with this because they have something I need. More specifically, Power, iron, and beer. The liaison says he will bring iron and beer. I banished him from my presence until he brings what I need.
22nd Opal I have found a way to leave my room. If I stay away from the outside, I can bring myself to bear the cruel taunting of winter.
Shadowhammer spoke to me today. He said that he believes that mining can give him the training he needs to become a warrior. I believe that a strong military is the first step to a good tyrannical rule, so I agreed
28th Opal I encountered a problem. With nature plaguing me at every step, I cannot go outside. This is a problem because all of our workshops are outside. Because of this, I ordered Shadowhammer to mine out a area underground to keep the workshops in. While I cannot destroy nature yet, I can outsmart it
