Late winter 1053
From the journal of Obok Fikukkol...
Indeed we have been so busy this year I realize I have not had time to properly document our labours. Here now in the late winter I ponder all that has happened indeed it has been a joyous year and I feel the blessings of our gods...
The year began with worries of our food supplies holding up. With the previous year's follies fresh on my mind a miraculous omen from the gods refreshed my spirit.
A cave lobster crown!
Indeed my faith was in the gods. During this time the strange dreams continued, I felt a pull to irradicate these hallowed halls of all nonbeleivers. My position firm I sentenced all the heathen to death...
All told immigrants arrived on the 2nd felsite os spring, the 8th malachite of summer and the 4th timber of winter. All nonbeleivers received the same fate. The followers of Godum flock here. Perhaps they feel drawn by the hoards of demons we have trapped. One day we will destroy them for good but that day is long off, for now I rather enjoy their...assistance
Kadol supported my during this tough decision to cleanse the fortress of these heathen and our love grew stronger.
Our gods had been so good to us, I prayed daily to give thanks for their blessings. One night another vision came to me. A vision of a great monument to sculpturedfists took over all of my thoughts and I ordered all hands too aid in its construction. This would be a fine thanks to the gods I truly beleive...And so it was done.
Below is a fine rendition of Sculpturedfists raising his axe in victory by Obok Fikukkol.
From the distance all will know our devotion to our saviour Sculpturedfists and the Trinity of Roariron!
Eventually all three of our deities must be shown the same respect but I feel my work is done, someone else will feel the calls of Lurit and Lorsith. Then the gods will truly be happy.
Indeed I knew Sculpturefists was pleased. Upon completion of the Monument in his name he let his presence be known through possesion and showed his happiness. This confirmed my visions and Strengtened my resolve to maintain my convictions and I pledge we shall exterminate all non-beleivers who shall follow those who came before them.
This gave me the courage to do what I Knew must be done and the filthy Drunk who was our leader was... disposed of. Now the gods are truly happy with me I feel it. Or fort is free of non-beleivers for the time being. But Lately I have had dreams of a child leading an army... I shudder to recall this and it disturbs me greatly.
All in all it truth be told was a blessed year, as smooth as a masterpiece block and I will take these last days of lazy winter to ponder my beloved...Ah how I long for her hand in marriage...She is truly remarkable, nearly single-handidily building this place...Roariron!
I have been so busy I forgot to order the beds I made hauled into our quarters...
Ah well time for me to sleep...
