The Journal of Dengoth Noblewire Who Is Having a Real Great Time Writing This
6 Hematite Three more dwarves showed up today. A potter, Adil; a glassmaker, Immortal-D; and a planter, Sanctume. Those last two don’t strike me as particularly dwarven names, so I’m gonna take a look at the paperwork they brought.
Alright, guess her parents are just assholes.
Wait a minute…
The king sent a damn
goblin-raised dwarf to his “bastion of goodness?” What the hell is he thinking? Well, if nothing else, he’s good with a spear, so first sign of trouble, I’m throwing him at it and running.
20 Hematite
Asmel and Iteb broke through into an underground cavern today. No sign of any iron ore, but there was plenty of galena and cassiterite.
Asmel says we might have more luck higher up and further south. Something about the water in the earth affecting mineral deposits? Hell if I know, I work with wood.
12 Malachite
Turns out Asmel was right, we’ve found several limonite deposits to the south, beneath the aquifer. I’ve had a room dug out in preparation for when we can get metalworking up and running.
The only issue is a lack of fuel. There’s no sign of coal or lignite, so we’re gonna have to stick with charcoal until we hit magma.
18 Galena
Figured that since we have a metalworking place set up without any metalworkers, we might as well get some places set up for the potter and glassmaker we do have.
So now we have ourselves a kiln dug out of the fire clay,
And a glass furnace dug out of the sand.
7 Limestone A supply caravan came by, along with a liason who had a letter from the king. I got about halfway through the first paragraph before my face turned as purple as the prose and I passed out from lack of interest.
After I came to, the liason graciously summed it up for me. Since we left the king has had several other idea about how to break his “curse, “ and sent out 3 more founding parties, the last of which left only left a few days before this caravan.
Ryukan bought some bags and a turkey with the crafts Imic’s been putting together, then the liason told us what was in demand and headed down to get drunk.
16 Limestone As soon as the caravan left, a group of migrants came by. A swordsdwarf, two fishery workers, a planter, and a Ranger. There were also 2 human poets and a Hammerdwarf along with them, who had heard about our tavern, The Fruit of Dots, from the merchants. So long as they aren’t causing trouble, it couldn’t hurt to have them around.
6 Sandstone The bedrooms are mostly complete. We only have 15 dwarves currently, so the extra rooms are gonna go to the tavern.
12 Timber
Sanctume kept complaining about not being able to train, so we put together a weapon rack, forged some weapons that kinda look like a sword and spear if you squint, and told him to get cracking.
I can’t really blame him, though. There hasn’t been much happening here. I’m not complaining- give me boredom over the constant threat of death any day.
That's summer and Autumn. All in all, a pretty uneventful year so far. Immortal-D, are you watching my computer? You posted that right after the first migrant wave showed up with our one and only glassmaker.
Gwolfsky, still no mechanics. Do you want to keep waiting?
Turnlist updated, as well.
