Our successful campaign has won us the mayorship! As we sit down at our post in city hall, a familiar deep orange glint catches our eye from the corner of our desk. With the newfound power of planning in our hands, we could build the services needed to find answers on our jewel.
What building should we construct?

Get your filthy fingers off my gem Davey!
The pen is mightier then the sword. Knowledge and learning is better then playing with rocks.
Trying to figure out the gem will take knowledge I don't think a blacksmith will have.
but what if the rocks are ✨ s h i n y ✨
How shiny?
Like don't look at the sun shiny or like it has an inner magical glow shiny?
My vote stands need to learn more and smashing atoms at the smiths might help but probably not.

Look out rabid mouse on the loose. Don't to get bitten and sprout pointy ears.
Let's stuff it into a lightsaber and see what happens.
To the forge!
(Truth: Nah I'm just gonna appropriate our newfound political power for personal gains. Let's use tax money to construct a blacksmith to be used by OUR crafters, myself included. Hail! business!)
I wonder if that's how Elves came to be. They were bitten by an awesome uber-mouse and developed magical powers.

You're bleeding for salvation, but you can't see that you are the damnation itself." -Norther
We managed to survive the first onslaught from a rival village, but will we survive the second without sufficient tools and weapons and parts? I am both sympathetic and eager to turn this community into a place of peace and learning. However, to safeguard the learned ones that all ready dwell here and to support our new land and holdings, I feel the blacksmith is the obvious choice at this time.
The mysteries of the gem will (hopefully) keep as we establish ourselves here.
It's like in chess - first, we need to plan our moves and after that we move the chess pieces.
I hope it works out.

"Fellow citizens, brothers, sisters, lend me your ears!"
"The decision that rests before us, 'Blacksmith, or Library" is only one of many we must make to grow this village and make us all prosper. Where should we turn to for guidance for the decisions that will come in the future? Do we want to base those decisions on education and learning? or on tools, pots and pans, horse shoes and wrought iron gates?"
"Dear friends, many seem to think that a Blacksmith will make us weapons; let us be clear, a Blacksmith may be able to fashion simple eating knives, arrow heads and make limited sword repairs, but they are not a Weaponsmith. The art of folding iron and steel is far more specialist than a respected, but more generalist tool making, Blacksmith would manage. I believe some of us are misleading themselves and others, when suggesting a vote for a Blacksmith."
"A Library will increase our education and open up so many more opportunities through superior intelligence. So, I ask you all now to consider your decision and chose the option that will better inform all future decisions, The Library."
"Thank you for a few minutes of your time and listening so intently."
