Many a time, and hopefully many more

The Mason's Guild is in agreement, the Fortress proper must be protected above all else. IT is unlikely that goblins or other threats will prove to be too difficult to handle with only a squad or two of dwarves.

Rice's Journal

I have heard Archin's cries and her protestations of faulty work, but I laid down those stones with my own hands. I know what bad stone work is. It is all I have done with my life, and I know those stones where strong. They would have held against the might of a titan's fists. No, there was nothing wrong with the walls. Unless some work was done on the surrounding supports that held them up, nothing should have brought them down. I NEED to speak up against her cries, I don't know what she is planning or what she wants, but for once Aryn is not in the wrong here.

I don't want to be misunderstood, I do not do this for Aryn, but any insults to the work of this fortress is an insult I shall take personally, and an insult that I need to respond to.

The Mason's Guild wishes to express its sympathies towards the Metalsworker's Guildmaster. An investigations is of high priority for we must stop such violence at its roots, and prevent any such future events from occurring.

Rice's Journal

The rumblings of the fortress have reached even my ears. The loss of four champions is quite a hit to the fortress. I can only mourn their loss and continue my work for the good of the fortress. However, the news of Filliwhip's stepping down is certainly good news indeed. His heavy-handed ways of handling matters has been quite annoying, and I am sure that even Kuli feels some relief over it.

There is still much work to do, and I cannot really believe it has been eighteen years since we have come here. I look back at the span of these last eighteen years, and I can see all that has happened.

From our earliest days to now. Aryn has always been crazy hasn't he. I followed him here believing his honeyed lies, but the behind all the veils, behind all of his words there was always the truth staring back at me. The Truth has been waiting there, just waiting for me to come and find it. But I don't want to stop believing. I want to believe. This will be the last real project I will work on for Aryn. When this construction is done, when I believe this fortress is truly safe, then ... then I will be done. I will stop working for Aryn and I will stand on my own.

Hah. Right, maybe I can retire, play some games. Get to know the new generation of dwarves. I have heard about all the births and new joys of this fortress, but never have I had real time to enjoy them.

More tasty goodness please!

Seriously, though this is awesome! A reader can definitely tell that you care about the story when they're reading it.

In response to the vote for allowing the Farmer's Alliance a seat on the council the Mason's Guild wholeheartedly votes 'Yea'!

Now in clarification of the expansion, we wish to wall off the area in the northwest portion of the map, the area currently surrounded by our brook and the borders of our fortress. We want to wall off that small area in a semi-self contained unit. The building already on the north side of the brook will be used as the beginning of the construction. The idea is to create a larger area for the harvesting of outside materials.

It is true that we have a small area that is currently enclosed in our fortress proper, but the Mason's Guild feels that the expansion will not only increase the available wood to our fort, but also be an excellent area to start an exploratory shaft for more metals as well. The area can easily be used for other purposes as well. A second floor on the construction can be used as a sun deck and outdoor training area for the military so that they will not develop the ... sun-sickness. And finally we wish to cap off the construction with a clear-glass roof! Yes I am suggesting a three-dwarf tall wall with a large relaxation area. Yes this shall be a large construction, but it shall bring great prestige to our fortress.

We are a mountain-home already. Our prestige among the our own kind cannot go higher. Now we shall show the other races of this world that there is nothing that we cannot do better! Nothing we cannot build higher, stronger, or faster! Our constructions shall last far into the future, far long after our children's children have been laid to rest. But our names... our work here.... it shall last in these works that shall be unmatched by any others!

I do not want to be misunderstood here. The Mason's Guild is simply suggesting an expansion on the Wayside Post. Note the northwest corner of the current map of the fortress. We have a relatively useless post there.
It currently has access to the roof, and we can easily post a squad of marksdwarves to defend our builders during and after the construction of the outer wall. It can also be expanded upon for a defensive guard tower. In fact using that as cornerstone of the expansion is an extremely important part of the plan

The Mason's Guild fully supports the motion to allow the Farmer's Alliance a seat at the Council. Were it not for their efforts this fortress would have faded into memory long ago!

The Mason's Guild would also like to bring up the need for a new larger construction on the outside of the walls of the currently established fortress. This construction would serve multiple purposes. One purpose would of course include a greater in safely harvest-able wood. It would also be an excellent buffer between goblins and our fortress proper. In a manner of speaking it would be essentially a colony established by our fort to allow us to harvest needed raw materials as well as keeping our citizens safer. We could easily house migrants there and feed them from the excesses of our extraordinary Farmer's Alliance which has yet to fail in producing the needed food for our fortress.
