JOURNAL OF W.WHISPERTRADE:
20th Sandstone, Year 202:
Finally got to this fortress they call Frenzywork. I can already see some people practically being slaves. Back in my town, they would have been taken in by some local dame and cared for. Bah, it seems I'll be one of them soon enough. I'll go and see if there's a free slot for a mason.
16th Timber, Year 202:
I've been training in my new trade since the overseer had the graciousness of letting me become a mason. The caravan and liason arrived. I personally think that the liason was more than a little bit too...average. A bloody craftsdwarf? You'd think they'd be some snobbish rich bloke with no time for commoners like us. Well, I picked up the list the overseer made and hell, what were the idiots we call royalty THINKING?! We are barely surviving out here, and they expect us to make all this crap!
3rd Opal, year 202:
Finished working on the archery tower near the entrance. I must say, this is pretty good stonework, and it showed on the overseers face. Well, at least when bloody elves come to trade, we can shoot them full of nice sharp bolts.
8th Obsidian, year 202:
My fellow mason just made a nice looking cabinet. No doubt some rich bloke who was used to being rich will pinch it. Also, I've been working along with the other masons to make walls and flooring for the cavern entrance. They'll regret it when troglodytes and bird men start ripping people's heads off.
12th Obsidian, year 202:
Oorah! I just got drafted into the army, and I just got my favourite tool; a nice big hammer to smash heads in with. Hehe...let's just see how many heads I can smash in with this. I got drafted in with our armorer, Hugo. Don't know the bloke, but from what I hear, he's the best armorer this place's got to offer. Hopefully he can use an axe: from the looks of these caverns, we'll need to smash some heads in.
19th Obsidian, year 202:
Nothing much in these bloody caverns. Me and the rest of the military have been cramped down here for a week, and all we've found is some webs. Cave spiders.... I don't like the looks of them brutes. Anyway, I'd better get back to duty.
