Drak's Journal, 7th Hematite, 554

The brewer's finally began construction of the artifact, "Kar Irid." It sounds either incredibly useful, or damn useless.
I've also ordered the excavation of a vein of lignite and bituminous coal. Unfortunately, the other two miners are sleeping, so I've got to do it myself. Lazy bastards.

Drak's Journal, 11th Hematite, 554

Behold, Kar Irid, the rock salt mechanisms!

It's even got a picture of our other legendary mechanisms on it. Isn't that amazing?

Drak's Journal, 3rd Malachite, 554

I've ordered one of our worse miners to go down and dig deeper into the caverns. That way, even if he falls into magma or gets eaten by a huge beast, we won't lose anyone important.

Drak's Journal, 6th Malachite, 554

Here come even more damn freeloading migrants! 8 of them, I think. I'll just put them to work hauling until I figure out what to do with them.
Wait, I think we might've gotten a mayor with that last batch of freeloading assholes. She just ordered that we produce one battle axe. Well, that should be easy enough.

[Bleaktea]

I'm picturing a set of cogwheels with fine engravings on the teeth depicting the succession of dwarven royalty, which is actually kind of awesome.

Then I looked into Legends mode and learned that the last of the dwarven royalty died something like thirty years ago when everyone in the capital starved, which is kind of sad.

Then I noticed "Stukos Reignedcaves is admiring the crown."

Clearly this is a prophecy.  It even came with a possession.  A vision of the future, sent by Armok Langgud himself!

Now who the hell is Stukos Reignedcaves?

[dragoncurse]

Quick note, Drakon.

You're 3 days before deadline, so I suggest you finish it fast.

[Khenal]

That's one heck of a mechanism.  It actually has two pictures of the other mechanism artifact.  Clearly more insane mechanical things need to be done

[drakon136]

Now who the hell is Stukos Reignedcaves?

Stukos Reignedcaves is the possessed dwarf that made the artifact.

[Bleaktea]

Now who the hell is Stukos Reignedcaves?

Stukos Reignedcaves is the possessed dwarf that made the artifact.

Oh.  Well that's a bit presumptuous of him.  That makes this a little less of a prophecy and more of a peculiarly dwarven self-insert fanfic. 

"This is a masterful engraving of Stukos Reignedcaves.  He is a dwarf king.  He has fairy wings,  a unicorn horn, and his eyes change colour with his moods.  Stukos Reignedcaves is brooding.  The artwork relates to the brooding of Stukos Reignedcaves at WeatheredCastle in 553."

Drak's Journal, 15th Galena, 554
Damn, this place is getting so boring! Almost nothing important has happened. We haven't even gotten a caravan yet. Where the hell were the Elves? My troops need some practice!

Drak's Journal, 16th Galena, 554
Well, that was quick. The day after my little rant, a human caravan showed up. Now to see what the hell they have to offer...

Drak's Journal, 19th Galena, 554
Damn, this might end up being annoying later. One of our soldiers has grown attatched to a larch shield. What the hell is he, and elf? If he weren't useful, I'd lock him in his room until he starved to death!
...and a few seconds later, an ambush shows up. Oh well. I wanted training for our militiamen.

Drak's Journal, 20th Galena, 554
Damn, I shouldn't of complained about the lack of interesting shit. We lost one shearer, and then another ambush comes!

Drak's Journal, 21st Galena, 554
FUCK! I should've kept my fucking mouth shut! A snatcher's just shown up! Militia! Fuck the invaders, kill the snatcher!

Drak's Journal, 22nd Galena, 554
The snatcher ran of, with no children stolen. I have no fucking clue where the ambush went, but the militia is hunting them down relentlessly. Back to trading, I guess. Maybe we can sell those goblins from the last siege...

Drak's Journal, 26th Galena, 554
The last remaining ambusher ran off, the rest were killed, and FUCK! V-Norrec, wake the fuck up! We must TRADE!

Drak's Journal, 28th Galena, 554
Well, we finally traded. Gave them some bins of goods for food, booze, gems, seeds, and shit to brew. Now, to slaughter the humans, or to let them live.....

Well, like I said, I should've kept my mouth shut.

[V-Norrec]

It's hard work keeping the records updated to maximum accuracy as well as living in my own secluded corner with everything engraved, multiple statues, a tomb already prepared, and my own private dining room.  Not to mention plenty of storage for my stuff.  I need every bit of sleep I can get.

[Dyg]

Well, like I said, I should've kept my mouth shut.

At least it ended up better than mine did while I was messing around with the last save.

The human caravan found the ambush and were shortly killed along with a useless dwarf that had no reason to be outside (I have no idea what the humans macemen were doing).  I sent the military to deal with them and claimed the humans belongings as my own which resulted in the usual zerg rush of people heading to grab stuff. By this time the military had finished off most of the goblins and were chasing the rest off the map while screaming something about "FOR THE GLORY OF OUR BAUXITE MECHANISMS!"

A snatcher decided he wanted something from the conga line of dwarves and showed his face, which was promptly used as a target by a hunter that chased him to the other end of the map.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The hunter arrived at the edge just in time to be greeted by a bronze colossus.

[drakon136]

Oh shit. Does that mean I'll have on too?

[V-Norrec]

Not necessarily.

[drakon136]

Oh good.
Also, I may need an extra day to finish my turn. Is that alright?

[V-Norrec]

You have two days by my count left.  Try to finish by then please.
