OOC: I apologize in advance for the anticlimax. Winter was not very eventful, to say the least.
Winter has opened in a great way! Some pleb or another got down to the trade depot at last, and trading commenced! As per the last round of trading, we basically traded our depot for their wagon. And much mirth was to be had! Dear ARMOK I hope some migrants come in the spring. Anyway, they skidaddled very soon thereafter, going off to parts unknown.
On an equally happy note, my tomb has been completed! Now I shall not have to suffer the spirits of these peasants in my death, being interred instead in the bowels of Hell, directing the actions of those there from beyond the veil.
Also, some rogue spirit possessed a hauler. He ran around, put a sticky-note on a mason's shop reading "Etur's" and ran off in search of materials. Very...expensive materials. He darn well better make something useful!
To pass the time, I ordered someone to bring me another iced rum, and did some exercises with my spear. I've promoted myself to Captain of the Militia, so I'd best be in-shape.

That bloody plebian got finished with is work today. You know what it was? A QUERN! Made out of ADAMANTINE! That lousy little...I've just sent some soldiers to give him a severe beating. They should be back any minute now. In fact, those footsteps behind me are surely th
The journal ends here suddenly, and does not pick up for another few months. It seems that there was a small insurrection, and Scaliper II was locked in jail, for "Bein' a despotic prick, the arsehole" according to official records. While he remained captain of the militia, rule of the fortress was turned over to someone assumed to be a more reasonable leader.
Well, that ends my turn. Winter turned out to be much less eventful than I had hoped, but whatever. In the meantime, I'll be handing the save over as soon as I get it uploaded(just a couple minutes).
Note to the next overlord:
For the love of beards, Armok, and all that is dwarvenly, do NOT let the military get into a fight any time soon. They're still almost exclusively below second level of skill in anything combat related. On the bright side, the bunker is clear to build in as you see fit. Also, don't mess with my room or tomb!
