Greetings Messenger! I trust your trip was safe? It ought to be, recent events should keep have driven the Goblins away from the roads for a good while. Probably something to do with their friend's screaming...
See all that steam comingout of the mold? That's right my freind, our obsidian factory is active! We just gave it it's madien run just moments ago. Once the water clears and the stone cools, our miners will extract the precious material. Oddly enough, a tree that had been growing in the mold suddenly sprouted, and has, as far as we can see from above, not been effected by being encased in stone, magma, and steam.
Remember last year, how we decided to sacrifice that prisoner when we ran this for the first time? Well, this year we've fended off no less then 4 major attacks. We endend up sacrificing 5 goblins instead of just the one. We hope that this shall become something of a tradition, as them clinging to theyopsof their cages as they melted into the lava was quite amusing. Oh, and...uh..religious of course.
While we're in the Courtyard, you'll also notice the new armory being built next to the gatehouse, which we're using to sort good armors produced here from the blood covered scrap we pull off the invaders. Also pleasing is the moving of the forges inside, now that the forges are fueled, the dismantaling of several temporary shops, and the complete covering of the stagnant ponds.
Listen closely. This is the most important thing I will ever say to you. Do not go near the animal cages. Do. Not. One of the attacks on our city this year was a Bronze Colossus. Yes, it seems some do still exist. We're doing our best to avoid provoking it until we get a suitable prison built, as we're not quite sure the cage it's in could hold it if it got angry again... - Razin

Construction is well underway, I'm sure the queen will be pleased with news of its progress. A warning has been issued that staircases built on successive levels can be hazards for dwarves who may slip, or be pushed, from the top; as such my forts employ either a central spiral stair, or a succession of alternating up/down stairs.
Good work defending the hillside, its always challenging trying to close the holes around a mountainhome when your back is against a rolling hillside.

I like the emphasis on diamonds in construction as opposed to the more traditional squares and rectangles. Very cool!

Thanks! I'm not sure what I would do without this particular tile set, the smooth diagonal walls really help open up more design variety.

Very good writing, I must say!
