28th Limestone:
Burying the dead is taking longer than I had hoped. Many of us seem close to snapping from the loss. We will also have to do something about that back door, we can't have that happen again with the queen on her way.
Regardless, I'm just glad deinol isn't among the living, too many of his engravings have been lost on the lowest floor from the magma.
15th Sandstone:
Some of the miners suggested we "honor" our former count with a monument of sorts. Probably a good idea seeing as how it makes us look bad having him and his whole family die.
9th Timber:
The queen shall deep us worthy after the goods we offered. We still haven't fixed the holes in our defense, but we are attempting to tap into our magma reservoir once again. Constructions are almost complete.
22nd Timber:
Today we have completed the pump tower once again. Hopefully after all the modifications and failures we can finally use this magma for.....something.
3rd Moonstone:
A minor set back, Problems with lowest level again, will have to isolate stairways from magma flow.
12th Moonstone:
Bah!! Another siege. We won't be caught off guard this time.
15th Moonstone:
Need to fix that backdoor, seems they completely ignore the other entrance. A moderately heavy loss of about 10, both civies and military.
Also, looks like a weaver has gone fey and claimed a clothier's shop.
22nd Moonstone:
Might use this to please future nobles.
22nd Opal:
Repairs to magma pumps are finished, will begin testing shortly.
21st Obsidian:
Magma Pumps fully operational. Currently expanding cistern via channeling. I recently lost my recent election. It was probably all those deaths during my rule that caused it, no matter. I have succeeded where 2 others have failed, that is enough for me.
1st Granite:
And now it is time for another to direct this fortress, I wish the next ruler luck.
