After the recent death of our great military leader, General Eoganachta, his favourite son, who’s true identify was until this time unknown to the other dwellers of the Mountainhomes, was proclaimed by Armok to be the next ruler of Deathgate. All hail Eoganachta Jong Un, Party Leader of Deathgate.

Party Leader’s Journal
Libash Berrith, Armourer, has been struck by not another demon but by unknown forces. He found some adamantine wafers and began work. I hope that his creation will be a suitable tribute to me.
The Brute that killed my father has evaded us, however, and there are more pressing issues than revenge. Perhaps one day I will take my satisfaction.

As my father instructed, the Hell fort’s courtyard has been sealed after the Brute demon fled. We watch to the north where more demons gather in a vain attempt to destroy us. Most of the population has been moved deeper into the halls above the magma sea.
I have also inspected the armoury and found the tallies incorrect. When I politely inquired why such bad bookkeeping should be tolerated I was told that a large amount of the equipment on ledger was still on the uncollected corpses of the fallen. Some of the bodies will never be recovered others are too dangerous to attempt. We have lost about five-and-twenty dwarves since the military coup, but with the better care of the military I hope that we shall not lose too many more.

Libash Berrith, Armourer, has produced Duthalenas, the Worthy Doctrines, an adamantine buckler valued by our broker at 1195200 gold coins. More than a king’s ransom! Although it’s a beautiful example of craftdwarfship, its practical use is very limited. It has been added to the armoury for future use if deemed worthy.
