Oops, thought I'd updated recently. guess not. Sadly, due to computer troubles, as well as just not having enough free time (Long story, don't ask), I've only made it to halfway through Mid-Spring. Sorry about that one.
- Journal of Nerin Blueirons, 1st Granite, 113 -
I'm confused by everything these days. How this fort is, how my life is, everything. So this probably won't end well. You see, I've been selected to lead the fort this year, even though I'm nothing more that a lowly Metalsmith. So confusing.
Well, I'll do it anyway, but I can't promise this will end well.
-7th Granite-
It's come to my attention that we're totally out of booze. Ignoring the question of how 158 dwarves let this happen, I've had the brewers begin a mass brewfest. Now.
-10th Granite-
...Crap. We're under seige now. 5 squads, most coming from the west.
Everyone's going inside, Military to the gates, you know.
-11th Granite-
Northern Squad's gone, west squad's still coming. Tax collectoer's mandated construction of bins. Having the carpenters work on it now.
-15th Granite-
Alright. Not too bad, if I do say so myself. Goblins have been forced to retreat, and not one dwarf, dog, or mule died in the process. We're currently collecting everything the goblins dropped, and smelting whatever's unusable.
...Eh?
Oh, Elven traders arrived, not a few minutes after the Goblins had left. Lucky them. I've moved some items to the Depot for trading.
-17th Granite-
The elves brought three things, mostly. Rope, Arrows, and plants. I bought all of each, even though I doubt we are in shortage of any of them.
Oh, and two Tree-related things happened today. First, I had the Woodcutters go and cut down some of the things, as we're a bit short on wood. Not too long after, the things retailiated, defacing one of Dadam's engravings. Goddamn Trees.
-2nd Slate-
The Duchess's Consort doesn't want us exporting earrings for a while. last I checked, this is nothing to worry about.
-8th Slate-

-9th slate-
The Mayor's imposed a ban on exporting Rope Reed items. No problem, as we wouldn't export those anyway.
