By late Spring, she revealed her creation, which was at least semi-useful.
Impeded in her goals and passed at the last moment, the name "Trammelpasses" was fitting.

Sore Loser
Endok Anguishedpages certainly didn't take too well to losing...

You Snooze, You Lose
A month later...
Endok became complacent while in the lead. When Edem went to sleep, she decided to flaunt her certain win, talking long into the night with the other bachelorettes. It proved to be her undoing. When Edem woke up, Endok was far too tired to continue her relentless flirtation. She went to sleep, thinking her status safe. Zon, in second place, tried to press the advantage, but Lolor III's candid, and some would say crude, demeanor charmed the bachelor and won his heart!

The Bachelor
Pop. 140, Early Spring of 354 (Year 103)
The population of Relicshield has been in a slow, but steady decline over the past few years. To combat the trend, Mayor Regent Mosus II Lanterngaze-Anguishedpages has offered several benefits to courting and recently married dwarves, including paid leave from work and exemption from military service.
The most eligible bachelor of the fortress is Edem IV Claspletter, the 22-year-old grandson of Relicshield's first dragon battlemaster, Edem II.
The four bachelorettes currently vying for his affections are Endok Anguishedpages, Lolor III Earthenbreaths, Zon Channeltree, and Zan II Socketinked.
A holiday suite all to their own and plenty of time to socialize, bets are being taken all around the fort on who will win Edem IV's heart. With all four bachelorettes considered beauties, it's their traits that set them apart.
Endok, a 22-year-old traditionalist from an influential family, is a favorite among older bettors. Still, Endok is far from stodgy and still enjoys trying new things.
Zon is another frontrunner with a fine pedigree. Friendly and modest, the 23-year-old is nearly as popular as Endok.
Zan II is a calm and collected 24-year-old, who is rarely moved to anger and able to handle stress. All admirable traits, though she comes across as a bit dull and aloof for most bettors.
Finally, there's Lolor III who often feels discouraged, has a lack of self-discipline, and doesn't go out of her way to help others. Still, she's almost as assertive as Zan II. This 26-year-old might prove to be the dark horse of this courting competition.

Up to Code
Pop. 142, Mid-Winter of 353 (Year 102)
The dumpsite that led to Urdim Channeltree's broken arm was finally brought up to current safety codes, but not before one final accident. Uvash Crescenttours, one of Relicshield's best frontline marksdwarves, was killed :(.

Construction Delay
Pop. 143, Late Autumn of 353 (Year 102)
A floor cover was ordered for the steps leading to one of the southeast dumpsites, but construction was delayed after noticing some clothes on the stairwell that was about to be blocked. Captain of the Guard Urdim Channeltree wasn't paying attention and ventured too close to the danger zone. Luckily, he only suffered a broken arm.

Spice It Up
Pop. 143, Early Autumn of 353 (Year 102)
After some initial difficulties with using quarry bush leaves in conjunction with other ingredients, the chefs of Relicshield have fine-tuned their spicing technique.

Pair of Arrows
Pop. 143, Late Summer of 353 (Year 102)
The Evils of Spray once again stepped up their attacks. Elite archers have become more common, with one killing Ezumi Freeoil and Ingish II Claspletter, granddaughter of Edem II, in the most recent siege.
A massive enemy host had gathered at the east wall. The East Watch, with a few soldiers from the North Watch, battled their way to the bowgob, while the rest of the military guarded the trade tunnels. Two more dwarves would've lost their lives, but the defenders finally broke through the enemy lines and slew the goblin squad leader.
Atis Blockadetempted and Vucar Gillhandle were rescued, though they each had a pair of arrows embedded in them.
Apparently, Vucar got sick of staying in the hospital and crawled his way out before his treatment was truly finished. He was brought back to the hospital, diagnosed again, then given a crutch.
