1st granite early-spring, 304.
Well well well, seems that im the leader of this frozen hole in the ground.
Turns out it wasnt a joke when that previous leader passed by me in the hall and chucked some documents at me, i thought they were just things to keep the fire goin'!
Why in blazes did they pick this place! Did hell freeze over or somethin'?
I've ordered the blueprints of the fortress to be sent up to my room to see what this labyrinth looks like from above...
Turns out there ARE no blueprints after a few hours of waiting... seems that this fortress was built on a whim...
Ive ordered a map to be drawn of this place, i need to see what im working with if im going to run this place effectively...
2nd of granite.
Some poor sod by the name of Kethas came in and handed be a childs drawing.
"Why'd ya bring me a child drawing, a crap one at that by the standards of childrens drawing aswell!" i yelled at him, turns out it wasnt a childs drawing but instead the map of the fortres...
ob boy, its going to be a looooooooooooooong year...
3rd of granite.
Well... after inspecting the map and SOMEHOW staying sane, well as sane as any dwarf can be in this place, im still puzzled by how in hfs they manage to get around!
Ive been here since the founding and mined part of it out yet i STILL dont know where half of things are...
Ive ordered for the records of the dwarfs and their jobs in the fortress to be sent to me, i hope atleast THESE will be better than the fortress design, atleast for the messangers sake, those legends of the crazy miner didnt come from nowhere...
(later down the page)
Somehow i retained by sanity, how has this fort survived for this amount of time!
I swear everything IN this fort would drive anyone mad just by one glance of it, everything thats suppose to be organized is instead in shambles and seemingly at random. I think its safe to say that the order of how the jobs were picked was a simple game of "the longest stand of microcline"...
The one with the longest strands get the job while the ones with the shortest get to laze about, why microcline? because it blinds anyone who sees it...
And fishing? whose bright idea was that! this is a freakin' glacier, there should be no fish to catch up here! and if there are fish to catch i dont think we want to catch them, as anything that can survive this temperture in water is deadlier than the 12 deadly elephant carp!
Ive sent the records back with the changes ive made, this should get the fortress somehow up and running, atleast a BIT smoother...
Ive also put into motion plans to fix up the workshops to be cleaned up.
Also to cage the previous leaders in front of archery targets.

WHATS WITH ALL THE UN-CAGED ANIMALS IN THE MEETING HALL? ESPECIALLY THE BABY ONES?
