Chronicles of
Rasedhandles.
Year 101
1st Granite
Elven upbringing has has told on outpost leader
MagmaMcFry, after suddenly realising how wood logs used by dwarves were obtained, he cracked up and decided to retire from overseer post. He didn't abandon his other duties however, he punctiliously counts every last boulder towards fort wealth, sometimes makes orders for craters, maintain trades and shows diplomats and unhappy citizens a gesture he calls finger of lore. The leadership was claimed by a dwarfette
Di.
5th Granite
Rasedhandles militia was created today. Originally it was five dwarves strong, but one of recruits displayed too much friendliness and was considered too caring for military service, he was later appointed as fortress chief medic. The remaining dwarves were led by Commander
Imiknorris, he was insisting on intensive kicking training for his squads, but had to obey superiors order let his squad equip hammer and shield.
10th Granite
Fortress remains sealed due to skelephant infestation in region. Remainder of wood supplies is being used for steel and still industries.
9th Slate
Skelephants made a tactical retreat fortress temporary unsealed.
12th Slate
A migration wave brought population up to 30 and army to 9 dwarves. Mountainhomes send hight master weaponsmith to help fending undead, and master blacksmith to ensure that gold and aluminum deposits are put to a good use in Rasedhandles.
Di and
Bayar aren't happy about being outshined.
8th Felsite
Forges have been expanded to house more workshops.

19th Felsite
A minor emergency has happened today.
Deviled, engraver, had experienced an urge to create
something today. It is unknown how did he manage to evade universal compulsory training in armoring or weaponsmithing but he
was found shouting in clothier workshop. The essence of the matter was that he had exhausted fortress supply of silk, namely one piece of it, but wasn't satisfied with that much.
It widely known that no one can just abandon such process and live. However, thankfully to outstanding organization skills of fortress overseer
Di and well co-ordinated work of other dwarves this crisis had been overcame. Special credit should be given to
Kzel, who had obtained required threads from first cavern. The fortress was sealed again right before troglodytes could assemble an attack squad.
23rd Felsite
Undead are sieging the fort again, admittedly,
Di in her kindness had waited for elves and cat to get in a fort before sealing it. Here are the wise worlds from her on this matter:"What?! They've managed...er..right, of course. We should treat our lesser friends with care."
25th Felsite
Elves meeting with
MagmaMcFry was held in a friendly atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding. However, elves were confused by his gesture as all others. Barrels and cloth were bought along with other goods of lesser importance. Should caravan from mountainhomes bring some bins of silk and clothier emergency will never happen again.
27th Felsite
Deviled has finished his work today. He created a robe worth 20 000 of whatevers.
Di was hoping that first mood would yeld an artifact that would help in protecting fortress and didn't want to give up that hope, thus it was assigned to military leader
Urist Imiknorris.

6th Felsite
Another reinforcements from mountainhomes arrived.
27th Malachite
There was mining accident today at hospital area. Due to not optimal placing of orders someone had channeled out a floor on which
Plank of Wood should have have landed after making vertical shaft for well. Luckily he got away with broken arm only. Doctor got his first patient today.
10th Limestone
It's a sad day in history of Racedhandles.
Valience, commander first assistant has been killed in action. The skeletal plague had attempted sudden attack today, a guard bull had warned dwarves and even managed to keep the abomination busy until military arrived and dispathed enemy. But single skelephant was only tip of the iceberg as three other were sneaking towards the fort. In the rush of the battle the forces were split and
Valience found himself one on one with bone mountain, he wasn't a skilled fighter yet and after a single strike shattering his leg he remained conscious as long as he could but that was a few moments less than his mates needed to get there. He is mourned throughout fortress. For
Di the burden is double hard, not only because it is her carelessness that allowed undead to strike, but also the dead dwarf was clutching no quality hammer, a hammer made by her.
12th Limestone
Trade with humans has been commenced today.
14th Limestone
Plank of Wood has finished his rehabilitation course today, his left hand isn't as good as it used to be but it doesn't decrease his mastery. The well he was working on before injury has finished filling today.
9th Sandstone
Kzel and
Musashi got the legendary title today, becoming the first dwarves who got
that status through stout labor and determination.
17th Sandstone
Strange mood strikes again, this time it's woodcutter. He was trained the basics of forging but unfortunately decided to make a wooden crossbow. An expencive crossbow though, its value exeeds even that of silk robe made by
Deviled.
Di is infuriated.

21st Sandstone
More wandering souls came to find refuge in Racedhandles. Military squad is now full again.
1st Moonstone
Trade commenced today,
MagmaMcFry bought lots of steel, iron, coke and wood for fortress metal industries. He had also ordered coke and steel for next year, along with some silk for moods and lye to create soap.
20th Opal
Another mood, possessed stonecrafter created obsidian piccolo worth 20 kilomonies,
Di is even more infuriated.
14th Obsidian
Undead still stalk outside Racedhandles walls. No other hostiles spotted yet. However,
MagmaMcFry has informed overseer that several bolts fired by hunter while hunting live elephants is missing. That means kobolds are here.
1st Granite
The year is over.
Di retires from her position and starts searching someone to pass the rule.
