From the diary of 'Seiggrain Hart' Tekkudkadol:
"1st of Limestone, Year 100. With the mining of the marble layer almost done, we have begun to move onto more longer lasting projects. Adil, Ushrir, and I all agree that the next thing we need mined out is that of permanent lodgings, we all have grown tired of sleeping on the hard floors. We have tasked any of the woodsmiths with making a few beds to be placed in a dormitory floor, beneath the storage. As well, it seems this area is rich with ores and gems. We should have a metal working industry up soon."
"16th of Limestone, Year 100. We've been here for quite a while now, and Adil has ust informed us that he plans on sprucing up the entry way with a paved road, as well as tasking us with smoothing the stone so that we can slowly engrave the walls of the entryway. As he explained, he hoped that any visitors to the fort enjoyed looking at the finely engraved walls. We hope that this will make them more likely to trade for goods. Just as Adil gave the order, one of the peasants spotted a caravan heading towards the fort. They claimed it was from the mountain homes."
"After much discussion of the rest of the world, Adil and the liason both went off to discuss matters of importance to Raliton's survival, and of the mountainhomes. I'm sure they talked of old friends, but I didn't dare interrupt, as I had my own work to do.

Another short post, this time with out images, but I figured the arrival of a trade caravan warranted a stop. I'll try and put the rest of Autumn into the next post.
