Captain's Log. 17th of Granite.
Zonhin is finally finished, having created a highly decorated garnierite scepter he he has named 'The Hoary Glimmer' for reasons unknown.
It's presumably able to double as a weapon with all the spikes coming off of it.
He has engraved three images into it. The first is of a dwarf striking down another dwarf. Presumably this is a commentary on our justice system.
The second is of a goblin striking down a dwarf. Obviously a reference to the horror of war.
Finally, in keeping with the maudlin tone, the third image is of Elves and Dwarves speaking with each other.
I told him that I didn't like it and that he could go stick it up his nose. Or at least I would have done, had I not been talking with some Elves at the time.
Speaking of that, the Elves are appalling traders. They seemed to have brought a section of forest with them, and traded it away for a single sock.
I am, however, an honourable soul, and immediately offered them their stock back so that we could negotiate a fair deal.
This apparently caused an immediate diplomatic incident, because it seems that Elves can immediately forget what they have just traded away.
I feel this is a tad on the unscrupulous side, and that they come hoping we'll do things like this so they can go home and talk about how horrible dwarves are, relating us to their obviously incorrect stereotypes, which would be exactly what you could expect from those horrible Elvish bastards.
