Diary of Dulhem:
1 Granite
Today we have arrived at a site that “Lord” Grimmelsworth found acceptable. Good for him, I suppose, but enough of the others agreed with him that here we stay. We are on the border of the badlands, where it merges with a lush forest, and here we are to set up the fortress.
15 Granite
Lord Grimmelsworth has agreed, after much convincing, to work alongside me in the project of digging out our new home. With his help, it should go a LITTLE bit faster.
14 Slate
The very temporary nobles quarters have been dug, and the furniture is under production. These rooms will have to serve until I have time to mine out better ones. Or better yet, get someone else to do it.
22 Slate
We have struck red spinel! Maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea to settle here after all…
14 Felsite
Progress is well under-way on the servants quarters. After all, the whiny brats have to be housed somewhere. Of course, if any ever follow us out here, they won’t have beds for a while, the wood is needed for the nobility, naturally.
17 Felsite
The trade depot has been built, thanks to Jamandu, who is working as our impromptu carpenter.
1 Hematite
Summer has arrived, and all of our rooms have the bare necessities. Some work will be done for the communal dining hall before we get our armor stands and whatnot, unfortunately. Hopefully that will be done soon.
19 Hematite
The first of the plump helmet harvest is in! Praise Armok! I was beginning to worry about running out of booze…
1 Malachite
The still is finally operational. Hissinh Walnuts is going to start making booze soon. Our stocks are beginning to run low.
19 Malachite
What do I see on the horizon? Is it… dwarfs?
1 Limestone
The stone, wood, and gem working area nears completion, and several workshops have been set up already.
12 Limestone
I have achieved the rank of legendary miner. I can cut through walls with tremendous ease, and stone melts before me.
21 Limestone
Armok damned keas came today and stole a bunch of cloth and other assorted stuff. I knew I should have had it moved indoors.
26 Limestone
More migrants! I wonder if any of the nobility has decided to grace our fortress yet…
Yes! One of the dwarfs introduced herself as the fortress representative of the craftsdwarfs guild. Most excellent.
9 Sandstone
Work has begun on a new quarters for the nobility, with stone walls as opposed to unstable dirt ones.
And the peasants have been whining about the lack of rooms. If you don’t like it, become a noble, my mother always used to say.
12 Timber
A dwarfen caravan has arrived! Get all of the trade goods to the depot! Yes, peasants, that means you.
12 Moonstone
We traded with the caravan shortly before it left. That was close. We traded away some of our goods for a bunch of cheese, because our food stocks had been running low.
1 Granite
Spring has arrived, and with it, I defer to Lord Grimmelsworth as true leader of this fortress. He proved is usefulness doing mining with me, and is rightful leader here, for all time.
