[Rtyh-C]

I've got a new fortress (about one or two years old). I discovered my expedition leader had been fired and a mayor had been elected. She was feeling miserable, so I decided to build her what she wanted. After digging a few rooms and placing furniture, I checked the room display (the Shift-R one) to check their quality and found two royal bedrooms. I knew of one of them, it was my communal bedroom (having a legendary engraver rocks ). The other one was new however, and I decided to check it out. It belonged to a woodworker and their spouse. It was a 2x3 room with a bed and a chest inside. Some tattered clothes were strewn on the floor. All walls and floors were rough. It did not even have a door. Yes, I double and triple checked if it was indeed a royal bedroom, and it was. The only thing I can think of is that it's partially dug out of hematite, but I guess that wouldn't increase the value so much.

So, is this a bug? If not, what happened?

It's the hematite. Ores and gems can make rooms valuable enough to become royal.

[Rtyh-C]

Yes, but hematite isn't even that valuable. I vaguely recall trying to do a royal room in a previous fortress, and that one was dug out of platinum. It was a proper room, about 9x9, I think. I still had to smooth and engrave it to make it royal.

Are there any artifacts in there?

Masterwork furniture will do it too, especially if decorated with valuable gems.
