Lady consort monster slayer?
« on: August 28, 2018, 08:17:34 am »

A dwarf lady consort visited my fortress.

Her profession is monster slayer.

Who is she? Where is she from?

What does she in my fortress?

He is a Monster Slayer who happens to be the Consort of a Lady, i.e. his wife is a human leader. Since he's a monster slayer in your fortress he's presumably looking to end his miserable life in your caverns.

If you open up access to the caverns then any monster slayers will eventually head down there to look for things to kill.  In my experience, they end up dying quickly to giant cave spiders or similar creatures.  They can be more trouble than anything if they end up luring said spider up into your fortress, but if they die somewhere convenient then you can at least take their things.

Correction: The Consort is a Lady. Wife of a Lord. It's a she.

As much as I like gay speculation, I like pedantry more. [Gendered noble] consort means that you are a [gendered noble] who has the title because their spouse reigns as [noble of equivalent level]. Queen consort is like passers by - a queen who is a consort.
