The weapon was surrounded by light and with the gold color and luck based abilities has a very "good" aura around it, however, it is evil, very evil.

I'm having some new clothes made up with the spare cloth lying around. We'll need some of it for bandages, but most of our stuff is getting quite worn down. It's not helping the mood.
The possessed kid has started working on something. I have no idea what it's going to be, he has a vast assortment of random stuff collected in there.
The queen keeps trying to order people to do things. I have no idea what she think's she's doing. Banned exports? How? Construct things? With what? Besides, everyone is constantly busy anyway. We're actually making progress on the perpetual motion machine! Still no idea if this Quill fellow was raving or not.
Which actually leads me to a disturbing thought. What if dabbling in this sort of the... unorthodox is what's leading to the trouble? It bothers me. Regardless, we're going ahead. You, scholar of the future, at least won't need to suffer through the suspense. Either you know we fell or you're sifting through the old records for interest's sake. Write back and let me know how it ends, won't you? Hah.
I'm told the possessed child has made a phyllite kussad. What in the name of both gods is a kussad? I had to ask one of the scholars to spell it for me.
After having a look, the kussad is a species of horn. Various tubes, but carved of solid rock. Doesn't seem right, but I've mentioned I'm not of an engineering mind.
It's got a picture of some baron from over a century ago taking power somewhere else. The kid's spending too much time with the scholars.
We put one of the ghosts to rest! Finally. Maybe we're getting some of our own back at this spookyness. Full speed ahead on the unholy machines!
The queen is apparently getting wound up. She really went to town on poor Carefulrogue, who's now back in bed. She wants shrines set up to pray to her gods. I guess maybe we can figure it out? It seems reasonable. A little divine intervention would help with this spookyness.
I've declared that people can worship in one of the dining rooms. I think it should be fine. Not sure though, different people have different opinions and all.
The global mod is off to 'beat a criminal'. He didn't say who. I
hope that's a bizarre euphemism.
Well, I'm back from chasing him down and it was the war hero Ruthoshiden. Great, now there's a mite in bed, and that takes at least one more off the field to care for him.
Well, the miner is praying in the dining room, so mission partly successful I guess. Unfortunately, we only have a temple to Nekut right now. On the plus side, he's a lot happier for it.
Now he's been meditating on rulership for far, far too long. Where is this going...? I realise I may have made some decisions that seem questionable from the outside, especially with regard to beekeepers, but I think they're for the best. I keep having flashbacks to being... married? to a possessed overseer? With a bone crown? Anyway, even if it's slightly disturbing that I can't actually bring up the details it keeps me on my toes as far as ruling well goes.
Aand OOC/whatever: It's 15th Obsidian, and I got the save at the end of Felsite. So I've got only a little longer to run the fort. Anyone want forumiting or anything in particular done before my turn expires? There are nine mites up for grabs, plus children. Ruthoshiden doesn't count, he's a war hero.
