T116 - A Dwarf appeared near deathknell, and offered to transmute our copper near Deathknell into gold. Then south towards the mana node perhaps for a void catalyst eventually? It'd need to grow some first so its not too weak, but more souls is always good. We'll be avoiding that one, but that reminds me, we have Nofuos the Imperishable and not much for Deathknell to build, so I think its about time we claimed the Mirror of Heaven and its Fire Mana, the spot right next to it would be absolutely perfect for another city of defilers. The Nightwatch reports having seen the Tomb of Sucellus, an important Life Mana location guarded by holy damage-wielders. (The scions also threw the same offer at me right after I'd saved. Considering the latter has joined the Overcouncil, I don't see it lasting long. A temporary amount of open borders with the Emberites and the Amurites has been arranged. T107 - Despite my earlier disinterest, if they're bringing the offers to me, i suppose I won't refuse them for now. Regardless, I have sent a new set of them to make a third defiler near Deathknell. T105 - Either the workers have vanished, or they were busy and I wasn't told about the busy ones. ((Apparently the guild tree is powered by culture points instead of beakers, once you have a guild at least. They gave us some smelting equipment, which I doubt actually is related to being cultured. Meanwhile, apparently Deathknell is very cultured, according to the alive artisans. I heard the diplomat almost had the messenger stabbed for repeating themselves. T102 - And now we get the same thing in reverse. They're pretty far north actually, according to our only useful scout the Nightwatch.


They aren't sitting next to the Infernals. T100 - The Emberites accuse us of being timid for not joining their war against the Amurites. More technology is good, but it doesn't help with money. T98 - Nightwatch reports a village that gave them a secret kind of cartography. T97 - Defiling Catalyst in Heresh has been activated. As long as it gets us more money, since right now thats the only thing holding back the defiler construction. T94 - Bartering is now a thing, I suppose. Lastly, it seems the scions had found sheut stones, which will make them somewhat more of a pain to fight later with the unholy resistance. Also need to stop the diplomat from talking unless the demons are involved, because I don't particularly care about any of the others as long as the Infernals are not angry at us. I need to go acquire a second journal, while people were calming down after the Infernals just sat there and didn't attack us, I knocked over my ink pot and lost a lot of blank pages. From the calmly written notes of Lord Najesh of the Aristrakh:
