Went It Alone

Pop. 185, Early Spring of 361 (Year 110)

Kadol Pagemountains-Rimrams passed away peacefully in her sleep, found by the marksdwarf Logem Graniteright. Kadol came to the capital 4 years ago, without friends or family. While she remained a passing acquaintance to all, she was a hardworker and an asset to the Mountainhome.

Beware the Werelemur II

Pop. 159, Mid-Autumn of 348 (Year 97)

There was another werelemur attack, but this time a civilian, Cilob Gillhandle, was bitten before help could arrive. Due to the wrongful death of Cerol Typhoonmetals-Mirrorwasps in the first year of the fortress, caution tempered with mercy was urged for Cilob. First, a war leopard and war grizzly were assigned to her. Then 4 soldiers, including Commander Dishmab and Cilob's older sister, Kadol Lighttool, were stationed in the infirmary. Though werecreatures were known for their healing abilities, Cilob's wounds were too grievous to wait without treatment until the next full moon.



Cilob's treatment took 3 weeks, after which she was quarantined. The barrier wall was completed on the 7th of Timber, only a day before the full moon. Once the moon appeared on the horizon... nothing happened at first, but on the 9th of Timber, Cilob transformed. The war animals assigned to her were also in the quarantine room, as they could not be separated from her in time for the full moon. Both the leopard and grizzly immediately attacked after Cilob's transformation. The fight was fierce, but the grizzly landed the killing blow.

Trolling Trolls

Pop. 122, Spring of 296 (Year 45)

A year earlier, Kadol Meshpapers-Graniteright the hammerdwarf was caught outside alone during a siege. Her fellow soldiers rushed to her aid, but a group of trolls intercepted them right as they emerged from the fortress. While the majority of Relicshield's defenders were forced to engage the tusked monsters in battle, Captain Dishmab rushed toward the lone hammerdwarf. Second only to Commander Sphalerite in total kills, Dishmab smashed into foes with her mighty mace. Together, she and Kadol routed the goblin squad, while their compatriots decimated the trolls.

Once the siege was defeated, attention turned back to preparations for the second cavern expedition. Scaffolding was taken down from the walls securing the first cavern to regain blocks, but there were two fatal accidents. Atir Kissochre the clothier and Chief Medic Dolomite, one of the Original Seven, fell to their deaths. Scaffolding had been taken down before, one level at a time, without incident, but Duke Phyllite demanded the procedures be placed under review.

The Spring brought renewed hope in the form of Ibmat the Dragon, who was lured into the trade tunnels and captured in a cage.
