1st of Granite:
I had an odd dream last night. It was a perplexing dream, one filled with great towers of smoothed stone and burnished metals, towers which served as a beacon that attracted swarms of dwarves like moths to a flame. I knew that this was a message from Deler herself, a message that I was to be the next leader of the fortress. Let it be then that I, Zumdol Madushushrir, will be the first Stonemaster.
2nd of Granite:
Upon taking command of the fortress, I found that we seem to be in pretty good shape. There is this one dwarf who keeps drawing pictures of blocks over and over. Upon checking our inventories, I found that we had none! This will not do! How can we build a tower without stone blocks? I then noticed that our mason's guild is horribly destitute, with only a few workshops. We must expand! I ahve given the order to create more masons's workshops, and also to expand on our smelting industry.
8th of Granite:
Vabok finished his creation, as he calls it. A leather mitten. How quaint. Not quite enough stone for my tastes, but he at least had the sensibility to use some marble and dacite in it's construction, even if they were just decorations.
26th of Granite:
We now have 100 mica blocks made, so it looks like we should start construction on the Tower of Deler. We are also in the process of making large quantities of sterling silver for decoration.
10th of Slate:
After noticeing that our block stockpiles were filling up unnaturally fast, I noticed that everybody was blacing these blocks individually. As in, not in bins. Upon further inquiry, I realized that we had no bins. I also noticed that the carpenter's workshop had no jobs queued. Both problems have been remedied.
12th of Slate:
After being notified that we were running low on silver ore, I decideded we should do some exploratory mining to find some more.
16th of Slate:
While searching for silver ore, we stumbled upon yet another cavern underground. This one complete with a hideous beast, some horrible mutant I dare not contemplate. We were able to seal off the cavern, but note before it slew two of our miners, Led Atiremath and Zan Rithzamaban. It does not look like we will be able to retrieve their corpses, but at least we can erect a memorial slab in their honor.
26th of Slate:
Some migrants have arrived. Actually it's a migrant. Singular. A potash maker. And he's sitting around near the edge of the map, doing nothing. I think he's lost.
