First Update, covering the first half of month 1
Date: 1/1/253
My Pilgrimage to the Settlement of Breedmountain has come to an end, and I have found the humble village!. Its walls are incomplete, but when they are finished, This fortress will truly be the mightiest of any above-ground sites I've ever seen in my travels.

The Great Canine of the mountains may have another wonderful site of worship by the end of this year, if I focus this group of dwarves to do more than just "Honor the dead." How can you expect to honor them without creating a single Idol to the wonderful creature who helped to create all the life in this wonderful mountain range?

Wow, some of these buildings are disastrously incomplete. The second apartment block has 2 nearly functional rooms, yet nobody's living in them, and the rest of the building still doesn't have a floor! Oh well, I can't Fault the Dwarves, Their previous overseer left abruptly without any warning shortly before I arrived. I did happen to pass someone muttering to themselves about armies and iron fists, and upon closer inspection, the military here are very dedicated fighters. I suspect they will soon make great paladins for Arban soon enough!
On the subject of the temple, in the past week work has been slow. I'm considering reorganizing the military and assigning lower-level recruits as builders/workers on this monument to one of the greatest beings to grace this fine world with its overwhelming presence.

Some elves have arrived. I hope this trade can go smoothly, so I've made sure to include nothing even remotely related to wood in the goods we're offering.

The child I mentioned earlier seems to have become possessed. Could it be Arban's will guiding him? Or something far worse? Only time will tell. I must speak with the elves about trading, no time to tend to the strange forces affecting our young.
