One year ago, Andrew Ryan led us out to this wilderness, this seaside lowland of saltwater, trees and groundhogs. Ryan is a likable enough character; I've no grudge against him, though he speaks strangely at times. | One year ago, Andrew Ryan led us out to this wilderness, this seaside lowland of saltwater, trees and groundhogs.

I wondered about the cloth Ryan received in trade... why so much? Sure, some of the clothes being worn about Oceanside are a bit ragged, but that's to be expected of a new fortress and all the corresponding work. When I asked, Ryan told me we needed bags for sand collection, the sand for glass production. | I wondered about the cloth Ryan received in trade... why so much?

I have been quite occupied with lumber production that I haven't paid attention to much else. When I took a break a few days back, I noticed that every other dwarf looked tired. We're all pulling double shifts and double duty, which can only go on for so long. | I have been quite occupied with lumber production that I haven't paid attention to much else.

At some point, a barracks was dug out, complete with armor and weapons storage and an archery range. Incidentally, this was not Ryan's idea, but mine. A few choice words whispered in the right ears and we have our first military: four speardwarves (in training). I felt this necessary; I've seen a number of goblins and kobolds creeping around on the outskirts, and there are likely to be more than the few I've seen. | At some point, a barracks was dug out, complete with armor and weapons storage and an archery range.

A band of humans came visiting with several wagons of goods. Ryan went out to deal with them, and for some well-cooked meals, we received a much better selection of goods than we got from the Elves: shields, bolts, leather, exotic metals... I'm happy with Ryan's decision to pick up those shields and bolts, but I wonder if he knows about the miniscule military I created? Ryan said nothing to me, so for now, I'll just keep my eyes and ears open and continue on as normal. | A band of humans came visiting with several wagons of goods.

Comparing the start of the year to now, we are certainly better off. The extra dwarves have allowed us to increase production and make it more efficient at the same time. In addition to all the existing industries, the two new glassworkers put up a glass shop and another woodburner, and they have begun forming blocks of a muted green glass. Not the prettiest stuff, but if it's going under the water, well.... it all looks pretty murky green anyway, right? | Comparing the start of the year to now, we are certainly better off.

One of the new glassworkers, Alåth, got into a strange mood during work. He created a green glass vial of perfect symmetry; Alåth calls it Zalud âgoth: "The Future of Competing". Bizarre name, but I didn't ask why. Seems quite valuable for a vial, but I haven't seen anyone here who would actually make use of it. Still, Alåth seems much more focused in his work now. The glass blocks he produces are incredibly precise and fit together without seams. Whatever might be said of his treasured vial, it has certainly improved his skill at shaping glass. | One of the new glassworkers, Alåth, got into a strange mood during work.

One of the fish cleaners got a bit weird recently, running around grabbing bits and pieces of things. He repeatedly spoke the word "Othlestothsin" under his breath as he did his work in the workshop, eventually crafting a bracelet which he dubbed by this same word (which means "Scorchedbows"). Wood, bone, chalk, and a single red sardonyx make an interesting piece of jewelry, I suppose. The engravings of our arrival to this region are well done. | One of the fish cleaners got a bit weird recently, running around grabbing bits and pieces of things.
