Would the reverse be pulling a Shank, or was he already pretty unhinged?
The funeral was quick, almost businesslike. Something gave people the feeling that it was to be the first of many. Xan left it in a stupor, absent mindedly wandering back into the mines, not noticing that everyone else was headed to the upper levels. Nearly everyone else, anyway.
"Xan," someone said behind him. She whirled around, searching for the source of the voice.
"Who's there?" she said cautiously. "Who are you?"
"We are Legion," Balor smiled, striding out of the shadows. She didn't bother with looking behind her, leaning in or whispering. Those were for amateurs who didn't plan properly. She knew where everyone else was, and it was more impressive when you appeared supremely confident in any case.
"You!?" Xan exclaimed, confused. "But in the capital..."
Balor's smile sharpened. "You never wondered why I wasn't the first to die after the Legion declared itself? I've been supplying anyone I could to fight against the goblins for the past two decades. I saw you reading our posters and figured you seemed interested. Are you?"
"Of course," Xan said hurriedly, fighting against the respect for law and order that she had been taught since she was knee high. "But what would we be doing?"
The other dwarf shrugged, shifting her weight onto her other leg. "Whatever it takes to ensure the Matched Silver's freedom and maintain our secrecy until that time."
Xan nodded, trying not to think about what the woman in front of her might deem necessary in the future. "And when we're free? What then?"
Balor raised her eyebrows. She seemed slightly impressed. "You know, no one ever seems to ask that," she said. "To be honest, I expect the Legion will schism into a thousand pieces when we don't have the goblins as a unifying enemy. It's probably for the best."
Mistrust and fear put up a fight against Xan's dreams of freedom. They lost. "I'm in," she said.
"Good. Who are we?" Balor asked, her smile returning.
"We are Legion."Balor's Journal, 10th of ObsidianWe've set up a glass furnace down in the magma chambers, though I doubt it'll be particularly efficient considering how far it is to the nearest source of sand. It's the best way to create a decent pipeline to pump magma up to more convenient levels, though.
22nd of ObsidianWe managed to catch a voracious cave crawler down in the caverns. Then I found out that no one has any idea how to train the damn things. Someone should get on that.
25th of ObsidianThe new year draws close, and with it I've decided to implement a plan other than waiting for a military coup so I can lose my position. Instead, I've decided to put yearly elections in place that will prevent any build ups of bad will between the governor and the governed. The results should be in soon.

The Corporatists have won the election! DFFD is throwing up a lot of server errors for me, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow for the file though. Also, I may have to nerf farmers.
Note: there's a folder of exported files in there as well for those who like using legends viewer to view legends. Uzol was only chosen as king when we embarked though, so it might be hard to find him.
