Records of the Past and Future1 Granite
In order to properly guide Breadbowl into the future, I must know how the river of time will flow. And since viewing that is rather… difficult, the next best thing is to observe how the river of Breadbowl flows.
So I made a little raft out of my beard hair and tossed it in the moat.
The current carried it forth, weaving through the stones and branches littering the waters, until it reached a point where the moat was overflowing and promptly beached itself.
So… That needs to be fixed.

It appears that I pulled the wrong lever and the moat is now overflowing even more that before.
Flowing water normally means purity and health, but this is just a muddy mess.

The dregs at the bottom of my wine showed signs of good fortune today. It might have meant pain, put I’m at least 80% sure it was good fortune. Which is why I wasn’t worried at all when a Reacher ambushed Stinthad Pureblockades, a miner, in the tunnels and beat him to unconsciousness. Similarly, I knew everything would work out when it charged Lorbam Lancechance, a woodburner and knocked him off a 7-Urist cliff. True to form, Stinthad eventually woke up and speared it through the head as it gnawed on the skull.
Just as I predicted! My cards also tell me both will make a full recovery.

The elves came today to collect the season’s output for the colonies. A diplomat also came along with them, and told us the news of the world.
That is an ill omen. She also asked for us to limit the number of trees we cut down.
123… Those numbers… They have been prophesized since the first days of numerology! There must be something special about them. Why else would they be the first numbers, if not to signify the destiny inherent on this very day?
I accepted the elf’s terms. This is the beginning of something great.

This is not great. It appears that even excluding the elves’ abnormal aversion to wood (don’t they know the grain can help interpret dreams?), we still have more goods than their animals can carry. I gave them what I could and received a giant wren and gray parrot in return. We could always use more eggs- the patterns when the shells crack show details of deaths.
((After moving goods to depot on left, after trade on right. By the time they left the map, we'd already made a bunch more. Am I doing this right?))

Illithid raised a fuss today when I melted down one of his masterworks in my smelter today. He told me to, and I quote, “not touch any more of his stuff or he’ll make my future come real fast.”
Luckily, the molten iron showed me that Ilithid currently has an aura of wisdom, so there will be no need for further conflict.

I was told today that no one has seen Rovod in quite some time. I shall consult the ether as to his location.

I received my first message from beyond regarding Rovod today.
Of course! Diamonds! We must encrust furniture with diamonds!

While placing the encrusted furniture in the king’s newly engraved mausoleum, I noticed another message.
I must listen to the whims of the spirits. Quasar shall join the hunters.

Today I ran into Quasar, and I noticed something peculiar.
Quasar has no clothes. For clothes we need silk. Silk is in the sealed off cavern chambers. Open them up immediately!

Oh.
Internet is spotty, will do notes and images as soon as it fully comes back.Okay images up.
Spring wasn't terribly exciting, but FPS is hanging around 16 so it takes a while to get through stuff. Any advice on speeding stuff up?
In case it wasn't clear, Darzen's "soothsaying" doesn't actually work, he just thinks it does and gets lucky sometimes.
