So, the time has come again for the cycle of tradition to turn. Another of our founders must shape the growth of our city for a year, as is our custom since time immemorial. Or at least since the very memorable and recent founding of our first city. The other 6 say, though, that they don't feel Noface is interested, but he has found a suitable regent
My name Lich Pageward, and I'm a helpful person. I'm fairly friendly, though I don't wear my heart on my cloak, and I've got a bit of a knack for words, so my friends are many. I think the move towards stability and security by uniting into this city is wondrous, much better than the ambiguity and disorder of all those hazy eons of our people roaming the hills. I hope our civilization doesn't become so mired in contracts and regulations like those humans, though. I want to help this any way I can, so I've been using my stonecrafting skills to increase our wealth. I want to help. And that's why I think Noface took interest in me: he sees that I have a vision, that I can make us great! He sees my potential.
He seemed encouraging when I spoke to him. At least, I think I spoke to him. Can't really remember what we said, but I'm certain it was encouraging, and I feel proud I should be of interest to the Legendary Seven.
Now then, I've never run a city before, but six years ago that would be true for any of us. I shall surely do well once I learn where all the levers are...
1st Granite, 16Today certainly was a busy day, but I think I'm off to a good start. I thought of all the things that troubled me in my work, thought of a solution for them, and ordered designations for plenty of things to get done. Of course, it shall take a while for my orders to translate into action, but upon completion they shall surely help everyone.
First of all, I ordered a row of cage traps along the opening of our cavern compound. We surely can't close the gate in time on every occasion, after all, and perhaps what might have been nasty surprises would instead become our newest pets?
Uggi the Second mentioned plans for cavern apartments, and so I ordered a couple dug out, symmetrical to the bedrooms already there. We should perhaps make these a priority, as more of our kind are soon to join us. For this purpose, I have designated a temporary stonecutting area so we may build them uniformly of granite blocks.
Lastly, I designed another floor for our entry building. I do not know the original plan for this building, and Bhrian seems to have forgotten, but the next floor is obvious. After this is complete, we shall roof it and continue building a central tower.
