At last, the conclusion of the year 1060!
3rd Moonstone, 1060:
Winter comes, and Jools has mandated the construction of a buckler. I wonder what he wants it for? Ah well, this at least is one mandate we should have little problem fufilling.
7th Moonstone, 1060:
Besmar just emerged from his workshop holding the most marvelous mechanisms I have ever seen! Alas, he has no idea how he made them. I've attached a sketch so that the reader may also see the genious of these mechanisms.
11th Moonstone, 1060:
Today I awoke to a great rumbling. I immediately ran down to see what the miners had collapsed, only to discover that they had all been on break since last night. Heading outside, I climbed atop the wall, and then I saw it! We have been visited by a titan! The military has been activated, and everyone is to stay inside until this crisis is over.
13th Moonstone, 1060:
The Titan had almost reached the back gate when it sighted one of our horses that hadn't yet made it inside. Giving a bellow of glee, it has given chase. At least this gives the military more time to reach their posts, though I certainly hope that Kazindir doesn't decide to take the oppurtunity to take a break or a snooze or a drink.
15th Moonstone, 1060:
While the titan continues to chase our horse around and around outside the back gate, a kobold tried to sneak into the fortress. Unfortunently for it, it's path took it straight into the alligator spawning grounds. This should prove entertaining.
16th Moonstone, 1060:
The titan finally caught up to the horse, and pummeled it into the moat, nearly drowning itself as it dived in after the horse. It then stomped through the back gate, where it was ambushed by Kazindir's squad at the stadium. The skilled soldiers made short work of the titan, only suffering minor bruises and scratches in the process.
17th Moonstone, 1060:
While the miners insist that they are enlarging the bone stockpile, I think they are really just trying to make a maze to get themselves lost in, in case someone tells them to mine something important.
18th Moonstone, 1060:
Kogan Sazirbakust, one of our finest carpenters, was torn apart by alligators today. Apparently he thought it would be a good idea to store the remains of the kobold they killed last week in a stockpile. I've forbidden anyone from going near the place, since it's clear that common sense is lacking around here.
22nd Moonstone, 1060:
Our new underground trade depot has been completed, and is fully accessable by wagon and by foot. No longer will a siege disrupt trading! The new depot is built of pure gold, and embossed into the shape of the top of a salt shaker.
9th Opal, 1060:
A herd of cats was sighted today near the cursed bridge. No one knows just what to make of this.
10th Obsidian, 1060:
The last two months have been quiet, allowing us to work on the secret project. Nevertheless, I am worried that it won't quite be finished at the end of my term...
20th Obsidian, 1060:
As if dwarves ignoring my orders to make some electrum items for the tax collector weren't enough, she now demands that we put a bed in her dining room. How odd.
1st Granite, 1061:
Alas, the secret project has not been finished in time for me to step down from leadership of Kulettögum. I will advise my successor on the final steps for completion, for there only remains a couple weeks worth of work. First, the construction is located in the outer courtyard. It is an arch which spans over the road. All that remains to be done is to finish the walls on the second to top level, and build the roof on the very top level. Rock salt block production has been heavily boosted in the last month, so it won't be long before there are enough blocks to finish the job. The construction will be named "Urdinronush Gňstangekurtorishrovod Etar", or Towerswept the Awe-inspiring Mighty Crown-Arch of Kings.
