This should be a quiet year.  The goal is to finish digging out and smoothing the residences enough that every dwarf has their own bedroom.  Population cap is going to be raised to 80 now that bedrooms are being created quickly.

As a result of the last visit by the liaison, we have been promoted to a duchy.  Our baron 'Broker' Itdunkogan is now requiring more lavish rooms.  It should be enough to just place masterwork furniture to match his increased needs, but may also require engraving the floor / walls of his rooms in order to bring it up in value.  While I do have some artifact furniture, I refuse to use it on the duke/baron because I am saving it for the eventual arrival of a king or queen.

Masterpiece engravings on a 5x5 room filled with a handful of masterwork stone furniture item easily gets you to the 2500+ value tier (Grand Bedroom / Dining Room / Mausoleum, Opulent Throne Room).  To get to the 10,000+ value tier, you will need a lot more furniture or decorated and encrusted furniture.  Or a larger room that has been engraved by a high skill engraver.

The mayor, Vucar Athelbecor, is also requiring more lavish chambers.

27th Granite - Tun Ngalakonos and Tosid Vucartastrod are now married, as are Stakud Avuztosed and Eral Lelumnish.  The captain of the guard, Udib Kudustnish is married to Lokum Dalzatasmel.  Miner Atisadas is a lover of Doc Geshudbetan.  That means three married couples and one pair of lovers.  No other significant relationships in the fort.

Meng Thocitadil is still collecting pets and how has four cats as pets.

The baron has handed down a 26-day prison sentence for our leatherworker, Cog Edemost, due to not meeting the production order of rings.

I have made sure to construct chains (under 'v' restraints) in some of the 2x3 bedrooms in the residence level.  Each 2x3 room has a bed, 2 squares of food and 2 squares of drink. All within reach of the chain.  I may eventually knock out the walls between the cells and put a table/chair/statue in those 3 cells.  Once those six starter cells were constructed and assigned for justice (q-r-j), then I assigned a captain of the guard to administer justice.



2nd Slate - Cog Edemost begins serving sentence.  Even without the table/chair, the masterwork glass windows, the masterwork bed both result in good thoughts.



To be safe against beatings, I will eventually need about 24 jail cells, although 12 might be enough if mandates are always met.

7th Slate - More migrants arrive. This was a pretty big wave with 15 dwarves suddenly arriving on our doorstep.  Given the amount of wood and stone hauling to be done, it will keep them busy for a year or two.

17th Slate - Cog is only doing so-so in confinement.


The embarrassed to be uncovered thought was interesting.  This is likely because I just ran DFHack's "cleanowned scattered X" command which resulted in his gloves and shoes being confiscated due to having a wear level of "X" or "XX".  It's more likely that the missing shoes are the issue, rather then the gloves.

Here is perhaps a better designed jail cell that holds two prisoners.  The table/chair in the middle is shared by both.  Each have their own bed and own stockpiles of food/drink.  The glass windows are masterworks and look out into the open area so that the jails on the opposite side can be seen.


21st Felsite - Cog has been released from jail and is back to churning out leather clothing and bags.

1st Galena - Era Lelumnish gives birth to a baby girl.  Lokum Dalzatasmel gives birth to a baby boy.

1st Limestone - A selection of turkey hens, guineahens, blue peahens, and geese have been locked away on nest boxes, deep within the fort.  Hopefully by spring their eggs will hatch resulting in more egg layers.

13th Sandstone - A new couple has been spotted in the fortress, Mebzuth Fikukcerol and Ilral Guisilnecik.

1st Timber - The captain of the guard has a secretive mood.  He also moves about three times slower then any other dwarf, possibly because he is wearing steel greaves, high boots, mail shirt, breastplate, gauntlets and a helm.  I specifically chose him due to being "very weak" and below average endurance.

7th Opal - Mebzuth Fikukcerol gives birth to a baby girl.  Fortress population at 82 dwarves.
