Vladimir's Journal
27th of Moonstone
I've ordered the engraving of some of our hallways. Our engravers seem to enjoy honoring my father, his face is engraved throughout the settlement. One engraver, Melkor, has even engraved an image of me ascending to leadership. I've decided Melkor will be our head mason and engraver.
1st of Opal
Some idiot's engraved a picture of me surrounded by cheese... I hate cheese.
15th of Opal
We've begun building some more forges with the new anvils we traded for with the caravans. We will soon begin glass production also.
19th of Opal
For my last two months of leadership, I've decided we will expand our mines downwards beneath the caverns. The Doctor Gregory has been named my successor by the people of Paddlemet... I really don't know what he does during the day since we have basically no use for a doctor. I don't even think we have a hospital area. Our only injury during my leadership was a dog having its skull broken (It's still alive too). Oh well, perhaps he'll turn out to be a good leader. Of course, I'll always be around as Sheriff.
22nd of Opal
Our food and drink problems have been solved and we'll have a surplus of drink for a while, I think. I think it's our best interest if the bookkeeper Karakzon provides accurate tabs on our stocks, insofar we've been using estimates.
5th of Obsidian
A giant cavern animal has broken into our fortress mines. The militia has been mobilized.
7th of Obsidian
After a few days of chasing this thing through the mines, we've finally killed it. A smog of miasma trailed it and from what was left of the corpse, Gregory the Doctor was able to identify it as a zombified giant mole rat.
9th of Obsidian
I don't know what supernatural forces are at work this winter, but it seems as though the zombies are all attacking the fortress. Zombie vultures are at the gates and giant mole rats are in the tunnels.
22nd of Obsidian 252
I believe today marks the first birth this settlement has experienced. He's the child of two dwarves named Edzul.... strange family.
1st of Granite 253
Well, It's been an eventful year in my opinion, our fortress has quadrupled from 7 to 46 dwarves. An impressive feat! Stories of our settlement must travel far.
I'm now ready to hand over control of the fortress to Doctor Gregory. My only wish is that if I ever die under his or his successors service, that I be buried alongside my father.

Sorry for the lack of pictures on this last update, not a whole lot happened of note in winter besides the zombie attack.
