I'm going utterly mad. Every time I sit down to fix a problem I see a more severe one and as I prepare to invest my attention in that I discover another problem worse still. In better news evictedSaint has accepted my offer and she is one step closer to being someone I can trust. My next project should be Wierd who I've had the most tumultuous working relationship with. His efforts to establish a clothing industry though noble fell victim to unforeseen and possibly unforeseeable circumstances. In an effort to persuade him we are on the same side I shall personally see to it his presently floundering enterprise is a success starting by solving a simply problem.
For the clothier to do his job he must go behind the house grab a bolt of cloth go back around front and enter the workshop preform his duties and then go back behind the house for another. I have ordered the doorway replaced with a wall and the back wall removed to create a doorway meaning the clothier will have to go a third the distance. I'll also be issuing production orders to ensure every dwarf in the village has
A shirt, a pair of trousers, a pair of socks, a pair of shoes, and a hood. I like the idea of a village full of hooded dwarves. I'm certainly not getting ahead of myself and my interest in the Order of Tombs is strictly political but the idea of hooded figures chanting in unison in the secluded chapel is... worth thinking about.
PK I suspect would like a bone carving industry to finally ply his trade but as it turns out he has not been replaced as keeper of the refuse pile and therefore nobody can manage the dump. We also have a rogue leatherworks, that has been summarily destroyed. I still have to go over who has the authority to own an industry and compare that to the industries we have and the industries available but if even remotely possible he will have a bonecarving studio to work from.
HugoLuman has become quite the warrior and woodcutter and I think that she may appreciate the people of Nevertaxed no longer kowtowing to the elves. My plan is to order a bit of conscription, crank out some more armor, and then in plain view of the elven traders hack down that damned tree growing through the middle of one of our soldier's home. A suitable army and a show of force should be enough to establish some friendly relations.
I'll have to think of something for the other founders as well.

During the rennovations we discovered a severed arm on Saint's roof, probably left over from the werebeast attack. Hooray. In other news I've gotten a bit of heat because one of the ingrates who ignored my production orders had his hand badly smashed when he was beaten. Why don't these idiots understand that when I say “make shields” I mean “MAKE SOME DAMNED SHIELDS THIS INSTANT!” When a dwarf comes to me complaining that they're frightened of the werebeasts, goblins, or giant owls I take them to the balcony of Silverpelum manor point out and say “Look there, you see? They're making shields and those shields will be wielded by our staunch defenders and will protect Nevertaxed from harm. I cannot do that if they aren't making shields! Neither can I deal with the constant complaints about places to sit without more chairs and niether can I do my duty with an office so pitiful! My complaints have gone unaddressed long enough. I've appropriated the as of yet unclaimed face veil artifact and several bars of the purest platinum for One of Evictedsaint's SEVEN shopboys to install in my home in place of the conglomerate tiles now there.
In other news: Elves. Filthy tree huggers have no idea what they're in for but for now it's all smiles and handshakes till the diplomat arrives.
