I forget her name, but my recently abandoned fort had a goddess of war, victory, death, and suicide.  I reasoned that if you weren't victorious in battle, you had to commit suicide.

I had a goddess of mountains, war, fortresses, wealth, and something equally dwarfy (maybe it was volcanoes...), depicted as a female mountain wyvern. I was going to build a colossal statue of a wyvern similar to this one for her, but I got bored of that fort, and eventually that world in general, and it's gone now.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

my favorite ever was "Ibmat flickeredglowed, the flare of branding." in every engraving, statue, carving, and trinket that has an image of him on it, he is ALWAYS depicted as a screaming male dwarf. which is apt because he is the dwarven god of fire.

Speaking of cool gods, I recently had a cool statue I'd never seen before:  It was of some mountain goat god of chaos or something, and some dwarves.  The god was unnaturally contorted, and the dwarves were melting.   8)

Update! The word "Ertal" means LUXURY.

So the name of my god of wealth is "Luxurious gilded fortunes of golden taxation." By Waukeen's purse, that's one hell of a win for the random name generator. (These are created by a random name generator, aren't they?)

ADD: Oh, alas, I am already defeated by one of the gods listed in the "Teh Doahwf Pantheon" thread, Istrath Silverytaxed the Wealthy Luxury of Bejeweling, another deity of wealth (and only wealth). "Istrath" translates to "jewel." I no longer believe that these name-associations are random.

Dwarf Fortress -- kind of like Minecraft, but for people who hate themselves.
