I watched Eighty and Airconswitch dig out what will be our main warehouse. Eighty was complaining that there was no chairs and no mugs. Granted, a good dwarf does need time to relax, but we are still getting our bearings, as it was. Airconswitch responded to my argument with "If we had some drat chairs, I'd be more focused, you lout!"

I promised them I'd have a dining hall made after the warehouse was done. Oh, the chains of command...

I asked StrangeAeon to help out with the brewing. He kvetched for a little while, but went along with it.

We have no meat, and no fish. All we have are plants and eggs, plus plenty to drink. It's gonna be rough.

The warehouse is almost complete, and there is plenty of obsidian to make proper dwarven crafts out of.

Malachite

Migrants! It is good to see more hands to help us. I must make a census of them as soon as possible.

Let's see... there are six of them:


Our population stands at 13. Maybe I should prioritize sleeping quarters instead of the dining hall. The miners are taken off hauling duty in order to dig out livable places -- Eighty was pleased.

Galena
The warehouse is complete! Let's move everything in!


Everyone's too busy rushing around moving things to make stuff that would make this place a little more livable. At least the miners are doing their jobs. I designate an area for economy housing...


and an area for nobles... I hope we don't have to dig them out too soon.


The dining hall is finally dug out. Now if I can only get the layabouts to make furniture for it...

I would like to put in a request to make the temples, taverns, and dining halls into more interesting shapes than squares. Even just a long rectangle that tapers down at the ends looks pretty good for a dining hall and makes the fort a lot more interesting visually.

Updates are pretty great so far though, looking forward to taking my rightful place as bookkeeper in the next couple of migrant waves.

Autumn 250
Limestone

Necrotic came back to me stating that "official-lookin'" dwarves came over the horizon a few minutes ago. (a curse word is scratched out here) All we have in way of trade goods is a bunch of goblets and a pair of rings... I must stall for time. I guess we also have some gems.

--

Met with Kol Eturshukar, a liason. When I asked him if anything happened in the greater world, he shrugged and responded with:

"Now then, what does Stonewealth need from the Mountainhomes?" he asked me, pulling out a scroll to take notes.
"We have not found any metals yet, so we might need iron. We would certainly need some drinks, too -- if we ever run out here, we have nothing but saltwater in the river, and we can't drink that --"
"A screw pump can purify water, you know--"
"We're still getting started on the fort proper, we don't have time for building purifier systems. Also, we could use some meat -- we have no hunters or butchers here yet, and to be honest, plump helmets and eggs are not a good diet."
"I'll take that under consideration. Anything else?"
"No, nothing."
"Now then, here is what the Mountainhome has told me you should produce..."


"...are you preparing for a war?" I asked Kol warily. "Are the Terrors of Turquoise mobilizing?"
"No, nothing from the goblins yet, but we want to be prepared."
"I see."
"Well then, if there is nothing else, I will look forward to meeting with you next year."


I step out of the dormitories to see a wagon train arrive. "Ahh... Welcome to Stonewealth! I'm still getting things ready..." I tell the traders. As soon as there's a few gems and mugs at the depot, I will start talking to Ezum, the lead trader.


Sandstone
I pulled off a few trades to get us a few supplies, some good food, and I picked up a book as well (that was rather expensive). Overall, I made sure the trader got enough profit to be estatic -- hopefully next year they'll have lower expected margins. I watch as they pack up and move on.


As they leave, I notice StrangeAeon... "training" with the local fauna.

...more migrants are coming... eight of them.

The recent arrivals are:

Timber
This is what happens when you let eggs go unattended -- we now have baby turkey... chicks? (Note in margin: What are they called again)


I almost got bowled over by daedalus, one of our new arrivals, in the warehouse. He seemed... somehow withdrawn.


He has taken possession of a craftsdwarf's workhouse, and wants bones apparently. I quickly order a butcher's workshop to be built and a useless yak slaughtered.


As soon as the yak was felled, daedalus quickly ran to grab its bones and take them back to the workshop. He is now laboring on something...


We get a message that a human swordsman has come to visit. I am intrigued -- has she actually gotten lost?


I took part in singing a goblin melody in our dining hall, which we call the "Syrups of Fierceness". It was ok, but we really needed instruments. (Note in margin: Look up how to assemble instruments for greater morale)


A human poet has been reported in the area. Is he visiting us as well?

While I was talking to our human guests, I heard a yell from the work areas. Fearing the worst, I ran over there, only to see that daedalus had finished his job -- a yak bone spear.

He calls it "Wispyskunk the Ram of Onslaught." It sure is... pointy.

I decide to give our dwarves a bit of a pep talk. These dwarves need to know about the dangers of ennui when in a new settlement.


...they responded with this. I will not state my opinions on whether I consider it an insult or not.

Diary of StrangeAeon Narrowcloisters
Sandstone 250


New diary for a new chapter of life!

I got a blank journal from the traders today before they left. I'm not really great at crafting things, so I didn't have much to offer except this cuddly langur I found outside-- langurs are kinda cute but they're also pretty handsy about stealing things, so I had to break its hands before it could make off with anything from the fort! I didn't think a Gently Used Langur would go for much in trade, but the traders all loved it! They got me a cheap blank book and were all like "YES! PLEASE! Go enjoy that, go enjoy it somewhere else please Armok." The journal's a little worn around the edges, but now it's got my handprints all over it, and I think a little personalization really makes the difference.

I love it when economy works out for everyone. :3: (See, and now I have a place to doodle little smiley faces!)

So, new chapter of life, I said, and that means NEW HOME! It's called Stonewealth, which is a nice name, and I'm really happy here because everything's going well and everyone's getting along! I haven't had to break anyone yet, not even a little (except for the langur), and DannyGlands the expedition leader made me the Militia Commander! It's everything I dreamed of, except for all the parts that aren't, like not actually having any squads to train or any equipment to speak of. And also getting pulled away from patrolling the fort/slowly growing hole in the ground to do stuff like haul, and set up furniture, and brew beer. I'm not very good at making things, even alcohol. :( I asked DannyGlands to please not make me do that any more, or else I'd have to take one of his ears in penalty. (I only penalize dwarfs on things they've got multiples of, because everyone deserves a second chance!) But now that more dwarfs are migrating to Stonewealth, things are looking up, and I'm sure I'll have a squad of my own to train into fierce warriors.

I have a good feeling about all this. :)

A Story of Invention in the realm of Chemistry

A tale of the dwarves of Ibeshsibrek (The Roasted Salve) and the heart of civilization within the fortress Risensirab (Coalwarm). I speak of course of the library Lukbom (The Insightful Home). Well named is Lukbom for many scholars of all races have found a home there. I wish I had the space to tell you of every scholar who resided therein, but as I lack of the skill of Tosid Zonerith (Helmedlabor) I must confine myself to but one. This is a tale of Urvad Bisekgeshud (Veilfortress).

Urvad was born in 123 in the hillocks of Boulderirons. She felt the calling of chemistry at the age of 12, moving to Risensirab and into the heart of Lukbom. It was there in the same year that her apprenticeship to the legendary Onul Purediamond began. In truth she was not his only apprentice nor the eldest among them.

In the late spring of 143 at the age of 20, Choose Adhesives was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Urvad Bisekgeshud.
In the late spring of 143, The Meaning of Glue was authored by Puja Gamouquur (Gravepeaked) in Yellowcovers.


It has been suggested by Puja that the first discovery of Glue was actually in 121, but no evidence remains of this. Instead these two writings are the first evidence of the discovery of adhesives.

In 148 at the age of 25, Urvad ceased being the apprentice of Onul Purediamond. Urvad became the master of Nil Inodstettad (Gatetax).
In 162 at the age of 39, Urvad became the master of Tulon Besmarbecor (Pulleytempted).

In the late autumn of 170 at the age of 47, Time Spent With The Funnel was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Urvad Bisekgeshud
In the early summer of 170, Funnels: A Brief History was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Kosoth Kolzefon (Wheelsfountains).
In 164, Mastering The Funnel was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Likot Isakerith (Spatterlabor).
In 155, In Pursuit Of Funnels was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Mistem Kircog (Mergedboots).


It has been suggested that the study of funnels is a tradition of Lukbom and of scholars elsewhere.

In 185 at the age of 62, Master Of Distillation was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Urvad Bisekgeshud.
In 182, The Hidden Meaning Of Distillation was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Morul Astzanos (Sabrehopes).
In 170, Book Of Distillation was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Likot Oltarular (Giltidols).


Likewise in the vast halls of Lukbom you will find no shortage of books upon the noble art of distillation, near as it is to every dwarf's heart.

In 195 at the age of 72, Onul Purediamond died. It will be remembered as a great loss for the scholarly community.

In 197 at the age of 74, Urvad Bisekgeshud denies Moldath Lidoddom (Tightnesscloister) an apprenticeship. In keeping with the traditions of her master she claimed that she 'prefers to work alone'.

In 198 at the age of 75, Combustion: The Definitive Guide was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Urvad Bisekgeshud.
In 153, The Interpretation Of Combustion was created in Risensirab by the human Onul Purediamond.




In 214 at the age of 91, The History Of Burning was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Urvad Bisekgeshud.



In 226 at the age of 103, Acids And Alkalis: A Brief Introduction was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Urvad Bisekgeshud.
In 225, Errors In Acids And Alkalis was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Moldath Lidoddom.
In 220, Victory By Alkalis And Acids was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Endok Ritanlikot (Begunink).


It is these works that paved the way for what Urvad would do next. The works include of course Errors In Acids And Alkalis by Moldath Lidoddom the very scholar denied apprenticeship by Urvad herself.

In 227 at the age of 104, In Pursuit Of Spirit Of Niter was created in Risensirab by the dwarf Urvad Bisekgeshud.


It documents the first true invention of Urvad Bisekgeshud, the spirit of niter. At last Urvad had earned her place in the legends of Risensirab beyond any shade of doubt.

When you choose a save go to "Legends" (or use openlegends in a running game with dfhack) and export everything. DFHack provides a helper: running export-legends all exports all of the data (plus some extras) for you.

As for viewing the data, LNP has both LegendsViewer (.net, windows) and LegendsBrowser (java, all platforms and web based) for processing the files and browsing easily.

You can also use the legends view in game to browse, but its as good as any UI in DF.

They are excellent, it took me a few gods to realise they were yours and not in-game nicknames from various civs. Also, if you can be bothered I would actually love to see carved depictions of the other gods as well.

(Please could you fix the spelling of Erith Cheapass, it's too perfect to be spoilt by a tiny error)

If I can get these legends to export, I will delve into poetic forms. And other related stuff later if nobody else claims it.

Possible thermal failure (CPU on fire?)
Winter 250
Moonstone

Several dwarves have told me that they would like to pray in a proper setting rather than anywhere they can get. I have therefore started plans for a temple to all of the gods at the other end of the main hallway from the tavern.

I have also instructed the miners to start making a space for a library, connected to my study of course.

StrangeAeon met with me today, and said (in so many words) that she does not like her brewing side-job, and that she would like a squad. Since necrotic and scamtank are the only other ones with some military experience, I informally create "The Snarling Gears," a reserve squad in case of unexpected circumstances. For now, necrotic and scamtank remain civilians.


Someone has taken to calling the new library "The Oily Vault." What a dreadful name...

Opal

The temple is almost complete. It will feature statues of all 11 deities of our civilization.


One of our human visitors has asked to live here in Stonewealth. I accept, for the purposes of morale-building.


Airconswitch tells me he's been thinking about diseases. I roll my eyes when he's not looking at me.


I wonder why most of the works performed in our tavern are of goblin origin.


I've been told NINJEW is bringing in some meat for us. I would prefer something a bit larger, though. Kakapo meat is tiny!

I want to start growing pig tails. Solid Poopsnake raised an objection, saying they're not edible at all.
"We need them for cloth and paper," I said. "Do you believe we won't need new clothes or books?"
He was silent while I went back to my study.
