I've completed the first two months of spring...
1st Granite, 1058:
Today I was selected to resume leadership of Líthrushsazír, The Fetid Bridge, despite promises to me of time to spend with my growing family. A lot has happened since I last led this fortress. First off, I have given birth to two more fine sons and two beautiful daughters, who are sure to grow up to be fine strong dwarves like their parents. Kib, my husband, and their proud father, has not only recovered from his broken leg, but has gained the rank of champion! His full title is Kib Mirroredplay the Clean Drain of Pricing. Given Kib's position as a senior officer of the military, in command of The Blanketed Letters, which includes such legends as our mighty Captain Affy, he has recieved the title of Colonel. May he lead our brave soldiers to victory!
For my part, I have continued my position as record keeper and master stone crafter, and it is said that I am a legend in both fields.
6th Granite, 1058:
The construction of the future tombs of me and my husband has began. I just hope we will not have to use them any time soon.
11th Granite, 1058:
Sodel Ducimikal, one of our carpenters, has created a most marvelous animal trap! I've drawn a sketch below:
14th Granite, 1058:
The elves have arrived! Let us see what they have to trade...
20th Granite, 1058:
I have discovered why merchants always insist on taking the long way around instead of using the bridge to the depot: The bridge only spans halfway across the pit!
5th Slate, 1058:
Captain Affy has at last achieved the rank of champion!
12th Slate, 1058:
Today I noticed something quite remarkable. Northwest of the bridge, there is what appears to be a swimming pool for groundhogs. I have no idea why a groundhog would want to go for a swim, yet there they are.
28th Slate, 1058:
Immigrants have arrived! I hope they can all find ways to make themselves useful.
