From the Journal of Zanzetkuken, Year 211 Overseer
Felsite 19, 211Prick took the forge. There goes all armor production. Pri- Wait, haven't I been here before? What's going on?
Felsite 20, 211He took a rock, log, and metal bars again...I have been here before...
I'm having to make the same orders to continue construction as well. This is very, very strange. Especially since no one else remembers what occurred. They are going about it in a different order, though...
If the artifact is an iron earring on the 24, then I went through a time loop or something.
Felsite 24, 211...Fucking kidding me, I went back in time. What even caused it? I had been roaming through one of the areas of the fortress, and...something...happened.
Xantalos apparently still possessed him. Maybe writing his name caused something to break?
Hematite 1, 2114maskwolf decided to take the time to rise as a ghost. This is new. Does history change depending upon a timeline reset?
Let's see if I can control it. I'll mark different dates with specific runes of Armok. Maybe it will work as a marker.
Hematite 8, 211Lasting a bit longer this time around. Getting complaints about no stone being available. Apparently no mining is being done. The hell? Must've done it in the...past. Gotta find a better name for that.
Hematite 9, 211[TEXT REDACTED DUE TO TEMPORAL CORRUPTION]
Hematite 8, 211The hell? Why is it yesterday again? ...And why do I still have Hematite 9 in here still? As well as old 8? Did the rune do this?
Hematite 9, 211It's Hematite 9 again...let's see if the loop goes through again.
Hematite 10, 211Made it through 9, let's see if [REMAINING TEXT REDACTED DUE TO TEMPORAL CORRUPTION]
Hematite 8, 211Motherfuck.
Hematite 9, 211Marking today.
Hematite 11, 211Made it through 10. I currently have no idea how it didn't fail again, though I have a theory. This time I did not designate a floor to be built in the branches of a tree. Maybe, just maybe, trees have the power to break time to different points. Maybe this is why the elves worship them...
This prospect both worries and excites me. I have found that I am the only one who remains aware of this shift on the prior one, but what if there is another? An elf that wields this power...
(Should note that all mentions of the time travel (and that one mention of Xantalos) are only in his personal journal. The official Overseer's notebook consists entirely of what was done, and a note to not destroy the tree that grew inside the fort.)
Edit: (Originally included an incomprehensible mess using the 'Eldritch text translator', but it kept saying the message body was empty until I removed it.)
