So here is my attempt to document the lives of my dwarves. I hope to keep this up until the 'fun' gets unbearable. I apologize in advance if I post a few times and then disappear. Anyway, lets begin.
The Journal of Marius Gusillegon, Expedition leader and current manager of The Just City, 12th Galena 253.
Only four months ago did we celebrate the coming of age of Melinda Umeravuz and today she was elected our first mayor. Never have I heard of one so young being elected to such a position. I scoffed when I first heard she had even been nominated. I've put in a lot of work to dig the foundations of this new settlement these last two years and didn't see her as a suitable replacement. But I was in the running for mayor more because being expedition leader it was expected by many that I be considered to continue in such a leadership position. However, I did not campaign much. Honestly, I was not that interested.
These days I am much too busy with my stonework and administrative duties. Keeping the books and managing the workshops keeps me enough in a leadership role without having the responsibility of the whole fort on my hands as well. Anyway, our first mayor is a 12 year-old party-goer. She is friends with half the fort if not more and I swear she is always throwing a party.
We've done great things here and I hope this young girl doesn't throw it all away. Our proudest achievement to date was piercing the aquifer we found when we arrived here. Finding it was unexpected and greatly delayed our reaching blessed stone.
I suppose as I come to my last hour as leader here, I'll document all we've done to this point. We have a robust number of fisherdwarves and hunters. Food is abundant. We've built farms above the entrance to our fort along as sheep pastures. We are steadily growing the number of our flock and hope to have a strong wool industry up and running soon.
We found a complex of caves as we dug down to forge our new home. We broke into them while digging out a storeroom for rock goods. We quickly walled it up, though we made sure to maintain the original design of our storeroom. One day we will explore the caves more fully, but we have yet to form much of a militia.
Since we have a limited access to the stone below (unless we want to organize an additional breech of the aquifer), we built a track down into the stone so we can easily transport all the goods we collect from the surface. Our first area under the aquifer is a large stockpile and trade depot. The stockpile will take everything from the surface and sort it for delivery to the proper areas in the fortress below.
Our last completed project was the carving out of a kitchen and main dining hall. It includes another rail track that brings meat and fish from the main stockpile down to the kitchen stocks. The dinning hall hasn’t been completely smoothed yet, but it will be done soon. We are in the process of carving out facilities for processing wool and plants for dye and cloth. Finally, there is a rock processing center where we take the blessed stone and turn it into blocks and furniture. My favorite place, I might add.
That pretty much sums it up. We have had several thieves and snatchers show up, but our large number of hunters typically prevent them from leaving with their lives.
