Hmm, the fort is several years old now and I still haven't got any more progress done on the Abbey itself. Too many invasions, too many migrants. I think I need to turn off invasions for a while so I can get the armour and weapons they've left melted down and get the town finished and clear some room for the Abbey. There's a lovely little spot covered in hills that I'm leveling away that I want to build it on.

22nd Malachite
The masons are constructing a soap workshop so the doctors can clean anyone who gets injured properly. Good thing to, we get into so many little fights out here it's only a while before someone catches an infection. Especially with all those new people who came into town earlier today. We're going to attract even more enemies now.
11th Galena
A wax worker just stopped in the middle of hauling some stones to the masons shops and ran over to the craftshop muttering. This place is getting to some of us.
14 Galena
The caravan from home has arrived. We traded some old clothes and armour for wood and drink.
17th Galena
A warband of goblins arrived to try and slaughter us. Between our traps, the caravan guards and our soldiers they were forced to flee with just a single caravan guard killed. The leader was riding a huge bird with a beak like a colossal pair of shears. It was wounded in the fight and one of our lashers chased it down and whipped it to death.
5th Limestone
The wax worker stumbled out of the craftshop earlier with a hematite earring. It's very nice, but not particularly useful.
28th Sandstone
Yet more people are arriving here asking where they can stay. This is going too far, we need to do something about all the homeless people we have.
14th Timber
A group of foul things... huge winged men with skinless jackal heads... unclean monsters... was seen approaching. They are armed and their war cries echo off the caves spire.
We dispatched our soldiers to fend them off, with any luck they will be little harder to kill that goblins.
15th Timber
This is bad, the monsters, Nightwings I've heard others call them, killed one of our soldiers, maimed others and sent them all fleeing back here. They say that they only managed to kill one of the things. They've paused in their approach among the dunes to the south, taunting us with their howls and mocking laughter.
23rd Timber
We've drafted a small group of archers from the civilians, hopefully they can drive off the nightwings with a few volleys.
26th Obsidian
After weathering several hails of arrows with few injuries the nightwings left, snarled insults the last sounds they made as they flew away.
16th Slate
More people have come to dwell with us. We can't house the people we already have, why do more keep coming?
15th Felsite
Some time ago we placed traps around the lower cave and opened the trapdoor that sealed it. Since then we've caught a number of those hairless things, but today we caught something wonderful. Two giant swallows. Beautiful things. One of the animal trainers swears that ones male and the other female and that he can breed them and rear the chicks. Good luck to him I say, I'd love to see some of them swooping around the town.
A pack of Tigermen attacked us. The soldiers killed them with no casualties. I'm impressed, the things looked quite fierce, but they fled after a few arrows and axe blows struck them.
27th Felsite
One of our craftsmen came into the hall today holding an amulet made of hematite and screaming about it being his best work ever. I think there's something odd about this place.
