The Life of a Governor: Difference between revisions

The personal diary of '''[[Khestor ThirdirlunThidirlun]]''', MarshalGovernor of [[Zietal Mar|'''Zietal Mar''']]. These recollections begin after he was elected leader of the Outpost by his fellow Dwarves, and ending with his pondering the predicimantpredicament of the [[Chapter One|'''All-Gem''']].

''It has been a few days, I have written up some drafts and will invite Ilzar, [[Ogrona Frontik|'''Ogrona''']], Gramsik and Sigmarr into my Office to appoint them as Consuls. The lower chamber will be abolished. This gives leaders more power, as Governor - renamed from Overseer - I personally appoint the Consuls. Zietal Mar will be run my way, for Bormar - for success. I truly believe this Outpost can become a jewel of Bormar’s overseas territories. I just need to set it up for this almighty task.''

''In other news, the walls are about ¾ completed. I carried out most of the work. The Deeptunnel is also progressing thanks to [[Grabhol Faulkrunn|'''Grabhol''']], Batner and other helpers digging it out.''

''Something more noteworthy has occurred however. It seems a Bormar Ship, top-of-the-line, was sent here by Lord Voman. I think I saw it a couple of days ago, but it has since sailed into the river flowing by the Savannah. As we approached, it was evident that the ship had been Overrun by '''[[Grol]]'''. I managed to lead the effort in clearing the ship and discovering a vault aboard the ship, after taking it out of some sort of secure mode. Within it there were some books written by the Captain - which Ogrona took - an Adamantine helmet in the shape of a Mar Goat which I will take as Governor, as well as a research book and severed thumb which I have taken to study alongside the other work I know of relating to the All-Gem. I have decided, I think, to take on the role of Governor more permanently. After seeing how much they needed my leadership, I think it would be for the best in the foreseeable future.''

''I have made a bit of progress with my [[Zietal Mar's Lost Pages|'''Ruined Journals and Tattered Pages''']]. It seems there were previous settlers here whom also searched for the All-Gem, sent by Voman. Although, later on I think Lord Voman ambushed them for it perhaps? Slightly concerning, nonetheless.''

''These [[Mooshroom Invasion Study|'''weird mushroom Bulls''']] had ambushed the Outpost yesterday… They seem to have stemmed from fungal matter out in the forests, and we fought this huge living tree-like fungus towards the end, the spores were infectious but luckily no one has died from them I think. It was quite an event.''

''Construction on defence projects and otherwise continues at a good pace, and the Outpost is beginning to come together. Currency and Taxation are issues my government continues to work on, I am introducing the first round of Public Contributions tomorrow. [[Gib Andosk|'''Gib Andosk''']] has been appointed as my new Consul, he seems very eager to begin public service, and even writes an independent newspaper I enjoy reading.''

''Gib has also been told of what I know, in brief, about Lord Voman and the All-Gem. I think he will search for it in his spare time. I have also handed the books over to [[Zeb Burnsthewick|'''Zeb''']] for deeper analysis.''
