Records of Avolition
1st Granite 181
It is I the illustrious Avolition coming to you in writing on the 1st of Granite 181. When I took charge things were looking good, I had heard reports of a band lead by a sword dwarf carrying a faded banner of The Whirling Quakes. I looked and it was her, Mosus Knifeclose. She had been a hero to me growing up, hunter of beasts she would take on any foe. No one had seen her in years we thought she was..
Dead, she is dead. Twisted back to life by a death god. The smell was what first hit me, the wind wafted the stench southward. Then I looked towards the party she was with, rotted looking pointy ears and those creatures of charcoal. I yelled for everyone to get inside, I tried to ask the merchants to join us but they pointed to their caravan guards. I sealed the doors and walled them up. Its back to classic dwarven life for a time
7th Granite 181
Death, it's flys on charcoal wings,
It speaks of experimented things
It hungers for you and me, boy
Death, its hungry like a dog
Comes clambering through the fog
Its victim is you and me, boy
Death, in all the stones you mined
Clawing for your flesh
And all life of others kinds
Take to the mines

It's a sign, my goddess and our order. This must be her will. Vesh Ghostphatom, goddess of death, I will make you proud. I have ordered the dwarves to build a temple and crypt. To appease Vesh. It took some convincing but they are willing to give it a go. Delphonso wasn’t too happy about it. Bloody traitor, he left the dead cult last year it is probably what has angered Vesh.
12th Slate 181
Progress is going well but I have noticed we have a lack of bedrooms and the tavern is a dirt hole. Will plan on expanding and improving after the temple. In good news Vesh has blessed us, on the site of her temple is rich with gems of many types. This is a sign of hers.
28th Felsite 181
End of spring report, I see most of the space has been dug out and we are still finding all these beautiful gems. A blessing of Vesh is it not. The necromancer army is still hanging around but they will eventually get bored I'm sure. I see brewer Bob is already making use of the fated temple.
