[Mohreb el Yasim]

This is only a little necromantic of me.  I recently encountered this:



So the crazy little bugger is drawing pictures of himself.  Why he isn't drawing pictures of my other legendary engraver, I don't know.

the gloved gresses was an engraving about what?

I remember my first kobold ambush... I lost 3 units that day. Yeah, I should have built a well so the dwarves did not have to go outside. Two of them died from chronic arrow-pincushon syndrome while wrestling with the front-line infantry, but the third, a competent crossbowdwarf, bled to death with wounds to both legs, one arm, and an arrow in his head. Before he expired, though, he shot one last kobold right in the throat (kinda reminds me of Saving Private Ryan's ending).

Why am I telling you all this? Later that year, My engraver drew that scene in his tomb. It was touching...

Also, the sheriff was asleep, and most of my soldiers was part of his squad. He later drowned trying to fight a fish in the river, his last words bieng a complaint about his office being "Meager" despite the stained glass windows and statue. Yeah, I need to get a better army.

It appears to be about a fight a couple of dwarves got into in 19.  Looks like a dwarf fought a goblin slave in a goblin fortress and one killed the other.

What I use engravings for is to tell the stories and histories behind my moded races, for example, how a certain race came to gain the ultimate weapons it owns. I just write a sentence of the history as an engraving and then add 5 spaces plus a tab, then putting in "Book 1" or something like that, and then adding another tab on the end. This causes a large space after the engraving sentence, and then that sun-like masterpiece item symbol, Book 1, and then the masterpiece item symbol again. Currently my longest history consists of about 20 engravings. This allows me and my friends to read the story once they have assembled all of the story engravings.
