26th Limestone 1071:
I have arrived. After a journey from the mountainhomes into the forbidding wilderness beyond, my harsh trek has finally come to an end. My party of one is to keep this bloody fortress from killing itself for the sustained survival of all dwarvenkind.
There are almost no sane dwarves left, but with stout labor comes some semblance of sanity. Whether by bolt, plow or hook, provide for your dwarves. You are expecting a supply caravan just before winters entombs you, but it is Spring now. Enough time to secure lodging, 'ere the goblins get angry.
A new chapter of Doomforests's history begins here at this place. Strike the... idiots!

Listen up you all! Yes, that means you! and you! I'm the overseer now, see? You left the rutile crown out for me, you knew I was coming. SO LISTEN UP!!
This place is a mess! Covered with vomit, winding tunnels that lead to nowhere. And what does everyone do? Make YET ANOTHER winding tunnel that leads to a "megaproject", or make some "megaproject" outside that everyone goes out to admire and then covers with vomit and then dies to goblins! *wheeze*
I will make no megaproject! My megaproject is Doomforests itself, my challenge keeping all of you idiots alive! So no more wasteful constructions. Military and industry reign supreme! And SOMEBODY GET ME A DRINK! I HAVEN'T HAD A GOOD DRINK OF ALE IN A FEW MONTHS, EVER SINCE I SET OFF ON THIS JOURNEY BECAUSE YOUR LAST... *falls over exhausted*

My Journal: Ye gods, did I make a fool of myself. Should've known better than to try and make a dramatic entrance. Now they all think I can do something about this hellhole! I'm a librarian, hehe, the joke's on them. Better see if I can act like a good overseer though, I don't want to see this die on my watch. Couldn't they have gotten a militia captain to lead in the interim instead of me?
