Chapter 3: Point Set, A Match“With insufferable vanity had she believed herself in the secret of everybody's feelings; with unpardonable arrogance proposed to arrange everybody's destiny. She was proved to have been universally mistaken; and she had not quite done nothing — for she had done mischief.” -- Sanctume13th Felsite, 251A caravan from Ingiz Enam has arrived.
Not much crafts this time, so Z offered a few inferior mugs and a couple of barrels of prepared meals.
For 6521☼ worth of stuff, Z offered take 4635☼ worth of metal weapons, armors, bars, anvils, bags, and food. Not bad for a 2186☼ merchant profit.
16th Felsite, 251Oh, Autumncrawl has a mayor Ast meet with the outpost liaison Udil Asteshbothon. It was quite a wordy meeting, so I asked Miss Z to write it in the book.
10th Sandstone, 251Upon reaching novice skill in axe, I started sparring with Bembul.
14th Sandstone, 251Miss Z: “Some migrants arrived”
Sanctume: “I need to practice more. Just let them in and help themselves.”
Winter arrives, and the dry moat is completed with lined with marble block walls. The second level of the dry moat is being dug.
The forge area has three wood burners, four smelters and four metal smith's shops.
The Green Berries tavern is opened for citizens just so that we have a more formal dinning area and entertainment space.
5th Opal, 251Some commotion can be heard in the the halls.
The “Hallway Argument” changed the bearing of Archibald. She asked for a private meeting. Shall I worry? No, I am not worried. Time waits for no one.
22nd Opal, 251Edem gave birth to a baby boy, Ingiz.
1st Obsidian, 251Archibald is calm and minting copper and silver coins.
Sanctume approaches discretely, “It’s done.”
Archibald nods.
6th Obsidian, 251Archibald and Imic enters honeymoon suite and locked the chalk door.
With less than one month, I take a break from axe training and look over the progress of my mandates.
24th Obsidian, 251Mesthos, mechanic withdraws from society.
1st Granite, 252The honeymoon suite is unlocked.
The second set of the shared bedrooms with private storage is complete.
One wing with beds is made into a temporary hospital.
As for the military armory, the second set of 10 copper armors is in queue. Three wood burners are constantly making charcoal from ash logs, and there are queues for smelting tetrahedrite.
As for clothing, the work orders to make cloth dress, trouser, hood, socks, and mittens are checked monthly with supporting plant processing and cloth weaving. This has been active since summer.
A single quern and screw press are constantly making slurry and hopefully sheets too.
There should also be a queue for leather quivers, waterskins and backpacks.
It’s a new year, and I must resign my position.
