This is an exceptional dolomite journal. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest...wait. Never mind. This item menaces with spikes of rock blocks. On the front of the item is an image of a tundra and humans. The tundra is laughing. The humans are making a disappointed expression.1st Granite, 103
Alright. So begins another year of life at Glimmerring.
Meph, who was recently appointed to the title of Count, chose to lay upon me the mantle of overseership (actual word?) while he goes about nobility business. I'm not sure whether he's lazy or good at delegation, but either way, somebody's got to do it. Here we go.
What's the situation? Everybody's working, by the looks of it. Good work on Meph's part, I have to say.
How about general status?
Not too bad, got enough to--wait a minute.
What the hell? Are we going thirsty?
Doesn't look like it...
But still. Better get some of these little few plants brewed and start an operation for growing plump helmets and the like. We're not dwarves, but a little bit of alcohol never hurt. I'm going to bring in a spreadsheet to see
Godamnit. What the hell is this? Not a single visible specialization. There's got to be a more efficient way.
Much better. Now our workers can become skilled in their trade. What else could we do well with? Actually, it would be nice to be able to read out what's in our stocks. Better get to building up a warehouse.
Need to figure out what the hell to do with all this driftwood. The masons don't want to move it and nobody wants to haul it anywhere. What a great way to start off the term.

Pooling up all of our wood into a stockpile and a snowstorm hits. I see the correlation, but I don't see the message.

Put the coin mint to work today. Economic control, here we come.

Pevit gave birth to a boy today, and given the cold conditions, we're all happy for her and her husband.
Baptism to the Great Lord Tob to follow shortly.

Pado Ersiothla was praying when he suddenly broke into babbling, exclaiming something about receiving the word.
Given what he was doing, it didn't surprise me when he went to go take up one of the crafting shops and started gather materials. Talk to the gods enough and they'll talk back, I suppose.

Something's wrong.
One of the men dropped dead, entirely parched. I have all our distilleries continually desalinating water. So why is everyone so thirsty?
Look at this. That list is all the barrels of water we have. But nobody's drinking it, they're all perfectly content to go thirsty as they live their lives.
I swear to Tob, it's just like trying to lead dwarves.
{So, we're off to quite a start. Dwarf Fortress feels more like Dwarf Fortress again with the AI making some intelligent decisions as always.}
