Dwarf Fortress historical incidents.

My dwarves are engraving this absolutely everywhere:

"Engraved on the floor is a superiorly designed image of Thefin Oniontame the human and Ecano Rightspower the Renowned Robustness the cyclops by Iton Oltarurdim. Ecano Rightspower the Renowned Robustness is striking down Thefin Oniontame. The artwork relates to the killing of the human Thefin Oniontame by the cyclops Ecano Rightspower the Renowned Robustness in The Swamps of Wiping in 66."


(You will henceforth refer to me as Ecano Rightspower the Renowned Robustness.) This is clearly at least one of my engravers' favorite story. And there have been a couple of figurines, too.

I've also found several engravings and a figurine of another human, "Ura Trickscottage," being killed by a hydra a few years earlier. The dwarves are at peace with the nearest human civilization; maybe there's some other one they don't like? I sold the figurines to the last human caravan, who seemed happy enough to take them.

Also:

"This is a finely-craft chert figurine of Mafol Futeredye. The item is a finely-designed image of Mafol Futuredye the dwarf and oysters in chert by Cog Reglocun. Mafol Futuredye is surrounded by the oysters. Mafol Futuredye looks terrified."


OH GOD NOT OYSTERS
